I'm really scared to open this can of worms... but I'll say this. I still think my cigar habit is not the healthiest. I only do about 2 to 4 a month. However i will agree that the "tobacco studies" are done on the chemical cocktail cigarettes. With the vast range of just shit they put it in, it's not hard to believe they cause cancer. But a fermented leaf cigar that's only bound with rice glue or whatever that other plant glue is, I think becomes similar to the difference of road safety between vehicles. Theres a chart I recently saw on transportation deaths per 1 billion passenger miles traveled. It was like .7 for planes, 1.5 for trains, 10 for cars and 200+ for motorcycles. To me, cigarettes are the motorcycles, cigars are the cars and the plane is being a nonsmoker, mostly because nonsmokers still get lung/throat cancer. I haven't seen a study on just cigar or pipe tobacco. Only on cigarettes, which again, I'm super against. Not defending Marlboro or the ilk. But I won't be blind that there isn't an increased risk in both me smoking cigars along with drinking alcohol. Im just mitigating my risk taking with both moderation and overall danger factor.
Damn it, this was a can of worms response...
Anyways, got a recommendation for someone that enjoys Alec Bradley Black Markets? Im looking to try something new out of left field soon.
- cbozeman 6y agoSin Compromiso Seleccion No. 5 Parejo and No. 7 Parejo are my current go-tos. They're some of the best smokes I've had in a long time. I got a box of 13 for $156 at my local retailer. They're not inexpensive, but as I said, I don't smoke often anyway, so cost is less of a factor in my decisions.
- myrandomcomment 6y agoH. Upmann The Banker series is a favorite of mine right now. The green box are the best, then the grey. Henry Clay stalk cut and the Brevas. Buy a single of every RoMaCraft and take notes on what you like. Any Olivia Melanio. Any Crowned Heads is worth trying. H. Upmann by AJ Fernandez Toro is a perfect cigar.
- WalterBright 6y agoI once estimated that cigarettes would take 50,000 doses to kill you. That's pretty far from a deadly poison. I figure I'll take up smoking when I'm 80. :-)
- NeutronStar 6y agoA pack a day smoker would reach that amount in 6 years yet a lot of people smoke way more than 50k doses.
