Cigar Smoking
By Jeff Lakie
While most of the uninitiated might consider the generic habit of
smoking to be one thing, and one thing only, any cigar aficionado will
be at great pains to tell you otherwise. While the smoking of cigarettes
is something that most teenagers have tried, and increasingly is viewed
socially as something a person does because they simply haven't
managed to give up yet, cigar smoking is something akin to a hobby,
and for many, a passion. While cigarette smoking is something you
simple do, the smoking of cigars is done with panache, and like any
other skilled pastime, there is a whole sub-culture that participates in it.
Because cigar smoking is undoubtedly a skilled art - as any common
cigarette smoker can tell you after making the leap from what might be
considered the waif of the smoking world, the paltry and ten-a-penny
cigarette, to the voluptuous and charismatic cigar. Cigars have a depth
that delves into all five senses, and a flavor that is completely
unexpected by those familiar only with cigarettes. The novice cigar
smoker will be nauseous and headachy for days! But apparently this is
a barrier that is worth working through - you only have to mention
cigars to an aficionado to hear them wax lyrical on the wonders of
cigars.
Like fine wine, there is a wealth of different types of cigar available
whose differences seem incomprehensibly subtle to the disinterested. It
is a brave relative or friend who attempts an unguided shopping trip to
purchase cigars for a loved one, as the variations available are
overwhelming. And, because of the enthusiasm with which cigar lovers
love their cigars, the wrong choice can cause a family rift that might
linger for years.
Thankfully, the popularity of cigar smoking means that there are a
variety of resources available to help, from magazines to websites,
whether you are looking to purchase a gift, or simply pretend to be
more knowledgeable when next in the company of a cigar smoker.
Just remember - don't ask him if he would like a cigarette.
