I enjoyed them for a while but have not had one in over 10-15 years with no desire to have another.

A good cigar with a scotch is really enjoyable on rare occasions.

I enjoy one but the smell on my breath afterward keeps me from having another for 6 mos or so.

Occasionally since it's winter. I have a small humidor where I keep all my burnable valuables.

It is a nice pleasure to sit on the deck in the summer and watch sunset with a stick and a drink.

Wife used to get me 2 OpusX every B-Day. My go-to's are Oliva Serie V. Torpedo is a nice size and draw to enjoy for a good hour to 90.

In my humidor, I keep a big handful of AF 8-5-8 in natural. Hand them out when folks come over and want to try one.

Other stuff I keep for myself are all of the Padrons and Patels. I have a variety of Ashton.

To me, there's a huge difference in cigars, much like wine. You can have Swisher Sweets and Franzia and decide you hate both cigars and wine, or you can find a 64 Anniversary Padron in a Diplomatico with a Robert Young Bob's Burn Pile Vertical. I'll go with the latter.

Never tried one. Almost tried one once, but never got around to it.

I wouldn't be adverse to trying one now, if I had someone to explain the whole process of how I was supposed to smoke and enjoy it, just for the Hell of it.

I did try cigarettes back in HS, didn't make it through the first pack. Didn't like them.

One of my grandfathers smoked cigars, I enjoy the slight scent of one.

I've never really smoked, but when playing poker, golf etc. with the guys would have a cigar. Finally got tired of feeling like someone dumped an ashtray the next morning about 15 years ago. haven't had one since.

Me and friends would get together for poker back in the 80s and always had cigars. Haven't had one since.

Been a long while since I smoked a cigar. Hated how bad my breath stank afterwards...
