When I smoked tobacco, I gradually moved up to two packs of unfiltered cigarettes a day. I lit one off of the previous one. That was 40 odd years ago.


There was some social enjoyment talking with the "smokers". Beyond that, it was a dependency - I never enjoyed the taste of the cigs , for sure.

I now occasionally enjoy the varied tastes of a good cigar and drink on a warm evening. I never inhale the smoke directly, and have no desire to do so. These cigars are costly- but well worth the price.
