Do you enjoy cigars?

Appreciate that

Don’t.

If you quit smoking don’t get near anything with nicotine. Just gut it out and walk away.

I dislike cigars but enjoy a tobacco pipe. You have more choice on the type of tobacco you smoke in a tobacco pipe plus you get some that smells good and people don't mind you smoking near them.

Same as a Cigar though, don't inhale.

Yes. I bought some good cigars while down in the Caribbean and would smoke them in the morning with a cup of coffee while reading on the back porch soaking up the sun.

Dont go cheap if you are going to do it.

You should be able to find them at a local cigar chop. Nothing fancy and its not too heavy. These are my go to. Normally $7-$10.

Not into smoking for a long period of time so I get the c notes. Nice for a quick smoke while I take my afternoon stroll.

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!

Sometimes I get a pack of backwoods cigars to smoke while I run equipment. The original flavor is pretty good. They are small enough you can hold them in your mouth keeping your hands free for for work. Also...you can pretend your clint eastwood

Recently quit cigarettes but still have cravings. I’m thinking about buying a cheap cigar. Is there much of a nicotine buzz? I don’t drink anymore so pairing it with alcohol means nothing to me.

I love cigars, might even have what you'd call a collection if my intent wasn't to eventually set them all aflame.

I don't think cigars are what you're looking for to curb the urge to smoke cigarettes. Sure, some of them can pack a punch, but it's not the same as cigarettes.

You're probably looking for something more like Nicorette or Zyn.

If you do try a cigar, don't go cheap, or too cheap, it's not usually a good experience. Try something like a Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne. They are very tasty and on the milder side, which makes them a great entry into cigars. It'll cost you anywhere from $5-$10 depending on where you get them.
