Doc.
I chain smoked cig's for over 30 years and inhaled, of course. The whole point of a cigarette is it's a nicotine injection system. You sure as heck don't smoke them for the taste. About a year after quitting cig's and say 6 to 8 months after starting cigars, I had a drag off a cigarette and wondered why I ever smoked something that tastes like I imagine a dog's ass would were I to lick it.
Cigars on the other hand, have real flavors and that's the whole point of smoking them. I don't inhale them for two reasons.
1) I smoked cigarettes and inhaled because I was addicted to nicotine. I did not enjoy the withdrawal from said nicotine in the least and do not plan on EVER going through that again.
Yes, I'm aware I end up inhaling a certain amount of smoke and absorbing a certain amount of nicotine either through my lungs or my mouth/saliva. But, I typically only smoke cigars on the weekends (in the summer when it's possible to sit outside for 60 to 120 min's without dieing from hypothermia I might have one on a Wed evening after supper) and do not go through withdrawal or become an ogre for several days in between cigars. Going too long without a cigarette did turn me into a raving lunatic and that only took hours, not days to accomplish. I wouldn't go outside in -40 weather to get laid, but you can bet your ass I've gone out in it to get cigarettes.........LOL. If I ran out of cigars and the only option was going for a road trip in that kind of weather, I'd go without and not suffer.
2) I smoke cigars for the taste. There are no taste buds in my lungs.
I have a friend who likes to smoke the odd cigar of mine every now and then who does inhale. But for him it's more about nicotine injection/ingestion than it is about relaxing and enjoying a tasty cigar.
The people I smoke with regularly do not inhale.
I feel it's a case of each to their own but having been addicted hardcore to nicotine, I won't intentionally inhale cigars.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

This little piece of trash "AshtonGirl" was banned from here in 2005 under her original screen name "Amanda" then comes back here in 2009 with this line of bullshit about how she "forgot" her old password (yeah bitch, because you were banned from here for wishing death on one of our members!) she made three posts under this new "Ashton Girl" moniker then crawled back under the rock from which she came and she's never been heard from again.
