re: Do you enjoy cigars?

I quit cigarettes about a month ago. Now I'm a trashy redneck with a vape. Eventually I'll throw that away too.
I have a few nice pipes that I enjoyed smoking on occasion. The tobacco blends are mild, flavorful, and aromatic. Those, unfortunately, must be discarded as well.
Cigars... I've smoked a few in my 55 years, but never really enjoyed them. They're too strong and they last waaaaaaaaay too long. After about ten minutes, I'm freaking tired of the damned things. They abuse my sense of taste more than cigarettes or a pipe ever did and the odor of stale cigar smoke is plain offensive.
as for the nicotine buzz - yeah, there's a helluva nicotine buzz that comes from smoking a cigar. I've been a cigarette smoker since I was fourteen, with a five year break between the ages of 43 and 48. Dumb arse me started up again with just one cigarette on a job site seven years ago and it's been a bitch to quit since then.
But, having smoked all those years, I have long since gotten over the nicotine buzz that you can get from cigarettes and tobacco in general. Cigars, however, give me a serious nicotine buzz that is a wee bit over the top for my liking. Even without inhaling.
The smoke from a cigar is lush and thick and full of nicotine. When that smoke hits the inside of your cheek it is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream with no need for inhaling.
Just keep in mind that as a former smoker, it's gonna be pretty hard not to inhale. Best thing for dealing with the cravings is a bag full of Brach's candies of various flavors. Like the kind that you used to get at a grocery store by the pound (or for free out of the bin if no one was watching).
Good luck kicking the habit. The cravings will subside significantly after about three weeks. After a couple months you'll be getting a buzz from breathing good, clean air!
