@JP1979 thanks again bud.

So here comes the noob dumb questions. You said not to inhale? What’s the point of just puffing on it? I used to be a heavy smoker but quit years ago. I’m actually enjoying this cigar now. Problem is I can’t help from inhaling and I’m sure I’m holding it like a cig. Lol I need lessons and a glass of Johnny walker blue to get the full effect. Someone school me on how to be a fancy bitch.

You inhale cigs to get the nicotine. Smoking a cigar isn’t about getting a nicotine fix. Each cigars blend and tobacco used will impart a different flavor than each other (different brands/sizes all has en effect on flavor). Would be fun if the next time you smoked the same cigar with a fresh age to compare. Eventually you will find your wheelhouse, if you get into it.

For now I would just focus on smoking slow, not inhaling and trying to pick out some flavors or room notes.

Woods, pepper, creaminess (is more of a texture) are the easiest to notice.

Yeah after a few minutes I found my groove discovered the greatness of just savoring the smoke from puffing. It also taste great to somewhat chew on the tip (not sure if anyone else does this). I throughly enjoyed it and have already taken to instagram and browsed #cigar and #cigarsociety. Pretty neat and I can see this being the start of something. Thanks again

I try to keep it simple. Spicy, earthy, or sweet when trying to explain taste
 
I love cigars, I feel like if I was more knowledgeable I'd smoke them way more.

Sometimes I just ask the guy selling them which one to get but who knows how much he even knows.

Check out Cigars International. I purchased a sampler pack of 40 sticks and a 40 stick humidor for 180 bucks. "The Chosen One" was the name of the sampler. Good way to sample some different cigars.
 
Better - find a cigar store near you and hang out for a bit. Ask questions. Tell them you are completely new and you will get help. It's a very relaxed group of people. You'll have to try different brands, tobacco's, strength's, etc to find what you like.

I was into it years back and even had a cigar roller at my wedding and the parting gifts (among others) were cigars. I then focused more on competitive sports and the cigar smoking world conflicted with it. I still have a ton of inventory at home. Good thing they do not go bad unless you leave them in terrible conditions.

Oh yeah that's the best route no doubt. I'm in the sticks so that was my only choice.
 
Ah, I understand. If you get a chance to visit a place, most have a humidor room and/or a smoking lounge area to try. You can usually get a sales guy or another guy in there (rarely women) to talk to you.
 
Been awhile since I’ve had one this thread sure makes um appealing, I’m a dipper myself.
 
Just curious here, since you don't inhale are you really getting any nicotine and relaxation properties thereof? I imagine the nicotine values are huge due to size but it's not like you hear of people getting a nicotine buzz or addiction from cigars like you do cigs etc. Is it more about the flavor, smoke, and experience?

Copenhagen long.
Damn, I can taste it now.

Only for hunting these days, cant have a smoke up in a tree stand lol.
That land when I fly to asia, I'm dipping the whole way.

@Endure

You for sure get a whole whack of nicotine, newbie smokers can get quite sick from the amount of nicotine.
Your mitch gets just totally numb from it too, kinda of like having a big wad of dip... but your whole mouth.
 
I miss Copenhagen :(

I had the same question until I enjoyed one the other day. As a guy who doesn't use tobacco anymore I imagined it would be super strong and even make me light headed. It wasn't and didn't at all. It is more for the taste but with a subtile nicotine relaxation. I would guess its subtle because the nicotine is absorbed through the gums and not the lungs. Im sure there are strong sticks out there but the one @JP1979 sent me was perfect and made me wish I had a glass of whiskey or scotch to help with the relaxation.
 
Oh you will still get nicotine.... For sure, like BWare said, it just gets absorbed through the mouth instead of the lungs.

Smoking a cigar is relaxing and an experience ... Not an addiction like smoking cigs.
