re: Do you enjoy cigars?

I was a 2 1/2 pack a day cigarette smoker and I also smoked a pipe and cigars. I enjoyed and inhaled all of them. Then I met this young lady, but she was bothered by my smoking. I decided that I wanted to be with her more than the tobacco. I quit tobacco cold turkey and we have been married now for 59 1/2 years.

I was 28 years old when I quit and had been smoking for 10 years. Five years later, after a particularly satisfying business dinner, I found myself probing my pocket for a cigarette.

Yes, it is an addiction, It just takes sufficient incentive to quit. Mine was a pleasant incentive, not like a warning of impending death from cancer, but equally as effective. I still tell people that I gave up smoking in exchange for my wife and that I am not yet certain that I made a good trade.
