i'll smoke a handful of good cigars/year.

there's nothing better than a crisp fall evening, sitting around the fire pit with a good glass of scotch and a nice easy smoking cigar to really relax the night away.

Back in 2002 I did an organized 100k ride and hammered the entire way with another rider I didn't know. At the finish, we were recovering and this guy reaches for a pack of cigarettes and said he needed a smoke. I nearly fell over!

Same here. I buy fairly expensive ones so I can’t afford to make it a habit. Maybe one every week or so. Fuente Hemingway Maduro is my go to.

Followed by chewing it as a close second (in terms of grossness).

When I was a teenager, I was walking around waiting for my race to start and there was John Howard off sitting by himself at a picnic table smoking. I think he told me he only smoked a few a day. IIRC, Bobby Phillips beat him that day.

Second hand smoke gives me an asthma attack these days, I used to smoke the occasional cigar

I smoked from age 18-28. Started when I was in the Navy in 1956. Almost everybody smoked then. The non-smoking section was outside in the rain..
Of course real men smoked the straight cigarettes. No filters.

I decided one day to quit. Never smoked since nor do I have any desire to smoke anything.

People still smoke? I was thinking about this the other day and was a bit suprised when I thought about my last three jobs, with departments of thirty to a hundred people, and I don't think a single person smoked. I could be wrong. Some of them might have gone home and chain smoked a pack. But at work, nuthin'.

As an athlete, even a slow one I don't know why anyone would smoke. I know, weed is the greatest thing since the wheel apparently, but I just don't get it. It smells like s#%t and it's still smoke in your lungs. I get the medicinal properties, just not the smoking part.

Reverse order IMHO (and I never did either).

I think I smoked from 18 till I was 27 or 28 and have not smoked for 7 years. Terrible habit, now I can't even smell it and it makes me sick. My wife also smoked and she has quit for a few years now. Most of my friends have as well. I feel like, compared to a say 10 years ago, a lot less people smoke so that is a good thing.
