Can a cigar really help you relax?
zacca replied to JohnS's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
It’s always funny how these articles play out. The writer (whether human or AI) spends 75% of the piece describing exactly why cigars are relaxing — the ritual, the pace, the sensory immersion — all of which is actually thoughtful and accurate. And then, right on cue, the final paragraph swerves into the obligatory “nicotine is bad, tobacco kills, safest level is zero” sermon. Not because they believe it, but because they have no balls - terrified of being sued or called irresponsible. It’s the same pattern every time: build up the case, then tack on a sanctimonious disclaimer to protect themselves. What’s comical is how self-serving it is. I didn’t click the article for a moral lecture from some limp-wristed nerd. If I wanted generic anti-tobacco warnings, I’d go to the WHO website or look at my Mexican cigar boxes. If you’re going to explore the benefits, then actually explore them — don’t write with one hand and apologize with the other. -

The chuckle from your friends upon seeing this lighter and thinking it’s a gag gift: $25 Repairing the burns on your floor from when they drop their cigars in searing, convulsive laughter after hearing you spent $69,950 on it: $10,000 Your friend’s wetted pants after you try to explain how you actually “got it cheap” by flying home with it in your pocket to avoid tariffs: priceless. -

Following your lead with a May 24 version. It opened like it wants to compete for COY. This is really nice. Medium full body, Medium flavor, twangy, sweet, nutty, touch of pepper, and well balanced. -

Smoking a MOFOH Robusto Trinity ROTT. Using this as a baseline. 1st third: very light, not much flavor notes, burn and draw are good tho. 2nd third: Progresing into a light to light medium strength, some vanilla/sweetness notes on the pallet. Final third: Medium strength, my biggest flavor notes have been leather, and hints of wood, still smooth though. White pepper as well on the retrohale. Will be revisiting on the 30 day mark once they have acclimated!
