It does seem to draw attention to me. I have yet to smoke a cigar on campus but will get my chance in a few short days. Judging from my experiences at the State Fair a couple weeks back, I'm expecting a few heads to turn. At the bars, which I go to a couple times a month, I feel like I'm the center of attention when I light up a cigar. Even when I'm driving and enjoying a cigar, I've noticed some people staring at me in the next lane of traffic when stopped a red light. However, my friend Matt is the only one who ever talks cigars with me away from this forum. I've never had a group of smokers approach me to compare notes. It'd be kind of fun someday if I did. Maybe I can be a trendsetter..lol.
