I don't agree with Jacob, the harmful chemicals are contained in tobacco in general not just cigarette. I've read somewhere that the amount of tobacco in a cigar almost equal a pack of cigarette, and nicotine and other chemicals and be absorbed through the lining of the mouth, slowly but still.

Nathan, that's what I mean. Long ago cigars has been seen as a luxurious thing due to the effort of making one ( I think ) and the idea of smoking cigar represent status and success. Cigarette on the other hand has been affect buy the restriction of advertising. You hardly can see any celebrity star on a magazine cover with a cigarette on his/her hand. What if it is another way round, do you think cigarette would become a sophisticated,luxury that represent success? for example : Marlboro Anniversaries 1989 - Celebrate the life. . Back in my country, due to the nature of my business I've met a lot of people smoke cigar just for the reason that it is luxury and people look at you as a high class person. When buying cigar the recommendation they ask from me most probably "which is the most famous and expensive one".

if you had read Jacobs post a little closer you will see he said chemicals ADDED to cigarettes, cuban cigars are free from added chemicals

Completely wrong. Learn how cigarettes are manufactured (with the poorest cheapest virginia and oriental tobacco, to begin with) and compare with cuban puros rolled with the best tobacco in the world, with very little help of fertilizers and chemicals that the cuban farmers just can't afford?

Really? Are you serious? I know we've had some great newbie questions but this takes the cake. Is there some type of award we can muster up?

I have to agree. Unbelievable.
