Cigarettes vs. Cigars

[John McClane]

All right you smokers and non-smokers. Take a vote. Would you rather smoke a cigarette or a cigar? If you don't smoke, which one would you rather be around?

I personally would rather smoke a cigar. They taste a lot better then cigarettes. And as for the smell, definitely cigars.

[Gabberjaw]

I'd definetly like to be around cigar smoke. It smells much better the cigarette smoke.

[KnicksRIP]

I've smoked cigarettes three times in my life, and cigars five times. Not that that matters, I guess, since it proves that I'm not really a fan of either one, but I prefer the taste and smell of cigars, and I figure that those who smoke cigars most likely smoke them less often than those who avidly smoke cigarettes, which probably makes it a better... uhm... habit? ;)

[Purandara88]

On rare occasions, I'll have a nice cigar with good bourbon, but that's it.

[Equilibrium]

i chose cigars but it really depends on the mood and occaision. Cancer stick smoking is a n acquired taste.

[Piddzilla]

I've been a (cigarette) smoker but not anymore so I would probably have to choose a cigar since you're not supposed to inhale the smoke. I like the way the cigar smoke smells but I have never learned how to smoke one properly. I think it's because I inhale by accident, it's like an automatic impulse from my cigarette smoking days. And then I get green in the face and it's not that funny anymore...

[Taboo]

I don't smoke but I love the smell of *most* cigars so I would have to choose cigars.

[B-card]

I don't smoke but my father does and he smokes cigars so I'll leave the conclusion to you:)

[Aniko]

I vote for neither, but my husband use to smoke a nice cigar on a rare occassion...and I have to admit I do love the smell of a cigar shop.

Cigarettes...ehhh...I could go into a rant on how vile they are...my mother-inlaw was a three pack a dayer for many years (ashes were everywhere) and ended her last years with emphysema. Very nasty way to go. The only good that came of it was that seeing what smoking and emphysema did to her, and those around her, it left quite an impression on my kids. Hopefully they'll never go down that road.

I'm going with Annie for neither..... I've been around cigarette & cigar smokers almost all my life and they're both nasty -- health wise and cleanliness wise....

It's just like candy and many other things; Only in moderation. Of course, so many Americans don't know what moderation is.

[AmandaSparks]

I have recently quit cigarettes but I would smoke a cigar again. About six years ago I was privileged to smoke a Cuban cigar and they really are as good as people say they are.

[nebbit]

Neither :yup:

[Tacitus]

I've been smoking (off and on) for 20 years and would have the occasional cigar in the way that Robert De Niro occasionally makes a comedy. They're really just cigarettes for bank managers...

The only smoke smell that I would ever class as 'pleasant' though is pipe tobacco and that's possibly just because it reminds me of my grandad. :)

[John McClane]

The best cigars I've ever had were in Italy; They were called Che.

Do you all know why Cuban cigars really aren't allowed in America? It's because the workers use their spit to seal the wrapper. The cigars are just health code violations that's all.

[self-destructive]

I have been around smokers my whole life and have picked up the habit myself at the age of 16, but I usually just smoke socially when I am with friends who smoke. I probably average about 4 cigs a days.

Eh, yes they are, as a matter of fact. I find it hard to believe though that any danger to people's health caused by cigars is being caused by spit...

[Lil Smurf]

If I had to really chose one. I would choose cigars, but I really don't like there smell that much either and they last longer then cigarettes. They are both really nasty.

[gummo]

WHat about Pipes? I like to smoke a pipe occationally.

LOL are we forgetting about the trade embargo?

[Miya]

I have tried 2 cigarettes in my life and they were both yucky so that was it. I will stick to my vices of wine coolers at parties.

[spudracer]

I'm a ciggy man, even though I've quit. While I was in Australia I bought 12 Romeo and Juliet No. 2's for about $100. They were good, but I only see my self smoking one of those when I'm drinking.

[Master Derranged]

As a smoker and having tried both, i think cigarettes are cooler and just better. all you do is puf smoke when smoking a cigar and you can't smoke a cigar unless you're in the mafia or a man man...so what do you think?!

[Master Derranged]

hi there, i found them yucky when i first tried cigarettes but after a while you get used to th taste and they are really relaxing. im not trying to convert you but thats just something you should onsider.:D

I don't think that's why, but that is gross.

I say neither. My Dad smokes cigarettes and I think it's nasty.

I've never smoked anything :yup:

Cigarette smoke makes me dizzy, so I guess I'd rather be around a cigar smoker.

[Othelo]

I have smoked a pipe, cigarettes and cigars. I prefer cigars and pipe tobacco for their aroma and taste, but cigarettes are just so insidiously addictive that all enjoyment is lost. I was a pipe and cigar smoker for about a year until the Cigar craze came about in the mid 90's. Supplies were stretched and quality went way down, but I still occasionally get the urge to indulge. I have been (mostly) smoke free for about a year now, so having a cigar is too tempting as a regular occurance. Cigars are my gateway drug back to smoking cigarettes.

At weddings and large social events, which I rarely attend, I will often have a smoke over a good single malt, or a bit of cognac. I prefer a dark earthy smoke, much like myself. :D
