Cigars and rum or whiskey. I don't really drink anymore, but I do enjoy my cigars.

I'm not sure I could enjoy drinking without tobacco. They just go together, at least in my mind.

Yeah I think I've gotta give myself some time away from darts first before trying cigars, I reckon I'm still stuck in "inhale mode". And yeah too right, I get the same feeling, I've cut down my drinking substantially since quitting. Not a bad thing.

I frequently inhale my cigar smoke, to the chagrin of cigar smokers everywhere. Cigars are one of the few areas in life where I pamper myself. I am not really a cigar snob, but I do buy some pretty expensive cigars and then smoke a half-dozen per day.

Don't get me wrong, I'll smoke a White Owl, if offered, but I much prefer better cigars. I'm not brand-specific, and I'll even try different styles and sizes. I don't always buy very expensive cigars but I do splurge sometimes. (I am trying to avoid recommending specifics, I probably shouldn't be suggesting people smoke.)
