Non smoker here thinking of getting into cigars.

Any advice Sup Forums?

don't, you fucking fedora

don't smoke. there's nothing of value in it

source: smoker for 7 years

Don't bother with Cubans, usually fake and overpriced shit.

Dominicans are great, my favorite is are Toranos

dont do it bro, smoker here, cigars are shit unless you spend good money on them and in all reality its just paying alot of money to kill youself slowly. in the cold i can feel my lungs rotten away its hard to breath. honestly i wish i never took it up.

I mean, the occasional cigar the same way some drink some super fancy drink? What's wrong with that?

Dont, I smoked for a year and luckily had the will power to quit. Its terrible.

Life kills you slowly

What if death is just caused by swallowing spit for 75 years?

could be but spit doesnt cost 20 bucks a pack.

20 bucks!!!! What the fuck kind of cigarettes do you buy.

Recently quit, cigars are good. Look for something "naturally sweet" and with a round figure. Puff it, keep a Dr.Pepper, Coke, or preferred beer handy. It's nice, especially after lighting a bowl at the end of the day. Flip through cigars until you find "The One." Have fun OP.

There are certain places where there's a minimum price per pack even for the cheap shit. It's supposed to 'discourage smoking' but everyone knows it's a gouge

Go to a smoke shop with a good humidor, pick something light but still a good price. Cheap cigars are disgusting and rich cigars will make you sick if you have zero tolerance. If you want a safe pick that makes you look like a little bitch, get a Java or Acid or something. They taste nice to first timers. Make sure you have a good pair of cutters and use a match to light it or you're a fag. Don't chug away at it, let it sit and enjoy the flavor.You know you're smoking too fast if the tip cones, you'll know what that means when you see it. Also be sure to spin it to get an even burn. Anything else you can literally look up, Google is great for "how to pick a cigar" or "how to smoke a cigar."

Cigarettes are like buying a dozen of eggs. Everyone does it, thinking for more or less, for their buck, but really it's because you want to be able to cook something quick.

Gas station cigars can leave a funny taste in your mouth and the smoke can get hot, quick

Real cigars are fine as hell, taste like heaven on earth, but can burn your tongue, and many Honduran cigars are mixed with a vanilla blend, so the smell of smoke is meh.

Really, it's only something to do on occasion and/or with friends. I once avoided being mugged by asking the guy if he wanted a smoke, before he pulled his knife, and he laughed for about 5 minutes and said sure. Sat down on the board walk and chatted, gave him money for bus fare. Moral of the story, smoking is an activity anyone of any background can do/does, and it could make you some friends, but it's economically point less and doesn't do much for you.

#straya, 16.95 for 22 holiday gold, that is the cheapest you can get them here, 40 packs are about 35 bucks.

How the fuck did you avoid getting mugged by offering a smoke? Please elaborate.

Damn, that's expensive. I pay around 4.5 € for a pack where i live, and our usual holiday spot sells them for 3.5€

thanks bud

thanks, and I was only planning on smoking one on occasion, maybe twice a month or something.

Don't listen to these double-niggers, op. Get your ass something from Drew Estates and thank me later.

Worked in a cigar warehouse.

Avoid the cheap stuff; a Guantanamera cigar from Cuba is absolutely disgusting.

Avoid lighting them with cheap Bic lighters or matches. If you are smoking something really nice you are basically ruining it. You are pulling the sulfur / butane flavour right into the damn thing every time you have to light it. Go with high burning butane lighters (blue flame) or traditionally you can use a cedar stick; but that ain't really practical.

Try and store them at the proper temperature. If its too warm the tobacco beetle larva can hatch and they'll start eating out the damn things. Warehouse I worked was always 18 Celsius, made the labour not half bad.

If you get a humidor don't store non-tobacco products in there. The cigars will pick up the flavours of other stuff in there and it can ruin the fine flavour you just paid a premium for.

Lots of other points; but that's a decent start.

Do good quality cigars give you a nicotine buzz, ive never once had one from any of the shitty gas station cigars ive smoked.

smoking doesn't just kill, its a long drawn out slow painful scary death that you feel every second of. I mean, you're not being raped to death, but they take your wallet, willpower, and freedom away for forty years before its all over. live a sober dignified life and party when you want a buzz or a thrill. beyond that, don't vape, don't smoke cigars, don't smoke cigarettes. youtube cigar reviews if you're really into it, or fucking, do anything but smoke nicotine.
here is a list of cheap thrills you can get just off youtube:
-inkpens writing
-war ration unboxings
-dumb fags smoking dumb fags
-fight compilations
-bicep tearing compilations
-horses at rodeos getting gored by bulls
-porn and twerking
-any videogame you can imagine theres a playthrough
-someone told me there are 'cringe compilations' but it sounds cringey
-fucking, tutorials
-diy shit
have a blast

I smoke a pipe and i really enjoy it. Its not hard, and not nearly as expensive as cigars.

I bought one for $4 and got a huge buzz

I've tried vapes, cigars, little cigars, and cigarillos. It was alright, but I quit smoking them all because it messed with my sleeping. It made me never tired and a super light sleeper.

Don't listen to these faggots, yes there is a health concern but if you do it two or three times a month you'll be fine.

Best one I liked was swisher sweets no idea why, but the buzz was so nice. Any flavor, really.

Am i smoking cigars wrong? How are you all getting buzzed from cigars?

I'm really skinny so it might be that. I usually just light any with a wood match and puff on it until its too small to hold. I don't puff a ton, just slow puffs. Also I don't inhale it.
