Yikes, I didn't realize my dad joined this board!

Seriously though, I'm sensing most guys are probably with Corona Gigante and Superman 78 in turning up their noses at the sight of women smokers, particularly cigar smokers. I've been somewhat fooled by the male response to my cigar smoking thus far since it's mostly taken place in bars. For whatever reasons, the guys there overwhelmingly seem to like it as I have never been hit on in bars more than I have in the last eight months when I began smoking cigars. On the other hand, my days at the Iowa State Fair last week yielded an overwhelmingly negative response from both genders. Nobody verbally trashed me, but I could tell by the looks on their faces that I wasn't making any friends.

Thankfully, I know there's at least one guy who doesn't mind my cigar smoking, and I'm going out with him again tonight.
