Cigars What is the Big Deal

 

 So what is the big deal about Cigars?

The flavor is an important factor. Then, there is the relaxing hour or more it will take you to smoke one.  Another important part to the experience is sharing time with other smokers. You sit with like minded people, discuss the weather, school athletics, professional team sports, movies, books, restaurants, your children, grandchildren, you talk about what ever you want. To simply put it, you have a circle of friends that you enjoy sharing a smoke.  

Some people will go to a cigar lounge with a business associate or prospect in order to either impress or conduct business. The thing that I find kinda ironic, is that cigar smoking is actually an equalizer. In my short few years as a cigar smoker, I have been to several special cigar events where very famous writers, actors, politicians, and multimillionaires have been. Ya wouldn't know it though. Everyone is there for the smoke, not for who they may see or try to impress. 

 
Trying to impress someone that is an aficionado with the gift of a cigar – really is not going to go far unless you already know about cigars or have someone to point you in the right direction. Even at that, an expensive smoke is not always the best way to go. 

The best way to impress is to know enough about the person to choose a stick they will LOVE. One with the flavor and body they appreciate. If you accomplish that you have made the statement that you know what they like – that is THE WAY to get a business deal off to a good start. 

So, What is the Big Deal about Cigars? It is the Gar itself plus the people you enjoy it with.  

Share you experiences in the comments.
