Do Swisher Sweets Smokers Count as Cigar Smokers?

In the "It's a Man's World" thread below, the question was raised about women and cigar smoking. While I'm the only female that I know of who smokes "real" cigars, there are a couple girls at my college who regularly smoke those little cherry-flavored Swisher Sweet cigars instead of cigarettes. Would you guys count people who smoke them, either male or female, as cigar smokers? Or just wannabes? lol

I wouldn't call 'em wannabes (maybe propesctive "cigar" smokers).....but I don't consider SS "cigars" either.

By my definition a cigar is inherently something I enjoy smoking!! :smiley4:

I think it's akin to drinking wine. You've got those who buy the wine in a big box, and others that spend big money on a single bottle... Why? - because the one drinking the wine in the bottle is "tasting" it, while the one who buys it by the box is "drinking" it. Both comsume wine - so they enjoy the consumption of wine - but obviously it goes much deeper than that...

I am a Cigar Smoker, I love cigars. Fuente, Torano, Partagas etc...
I also smoke Swishers and a few other Gas station cigars, because in my town that is all there is. I have to drive an hour to get the good ones, and with gas prices...well you see where I am going right?

Thing is, I do NOT consider those gas station smokes REAL cigars, so I would have to cast my vote for Wannabes. I would get your girlfriends interested in the CAO Flavors or something like them. Those are real cigars.

Now, if you have any friends who smoke Black and Milds....RUN!!!! :smiley14:

cigar no baka

Considering that cigar smokers who smoke cheap machine-rolled cigars outnumber us premium cigar smokers by like 10-1, I would consider them "cigar smokers"

I have a 45 min. drive to the nearest cigar shop. So either I just make the trip and buy a shitload of cigars, or I order off the internet. I would never lower myself to smoking SS's or dried out gas station cigars.
