Yeah but everything comes back some day. It's up to us now to keep it going. this was probably a big baby boomer thing... Fine foods will always be around, it's the people that enjoy it that we have to keep alive.

I have smoked cigars in public places that allow smoking around my city and never felt bad because of it. I have had some looks and even one cigarette smoker tell me that my cigar stank. I told her to ask my children sitting at the table right next to her what they would rather smell 1 cigar smoker or 40 cigarette smokers..... She shut her mouth real fast. All i can say is "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones." If are going to be rude to me get ready to get it right back.

What's that got to do with a stereotype?

Around here in the northeast United States, cigar smokers are all ages, all races and more women than you might think. It might be different in other parts of the country but unlike the situation you described in the UK, it's not the same here. No one looks at someone funny if they are smoking a cigar and don't fit the stereotype.
