Cigars and Your Health

[daverave999]

I have read some of the reviews in cigar magazines where thay have detected an amazing array of flavours and aromas! purchased said puro
and been lucky to detect more than three, maybe there is a special technique they have!

Practice!

I would think it's a possibility that the sense of calm and relaxation you get from chilling with a good cigar would help to outweigh some of the negative health implications from smoking. In particular if you only smoke a couple a week.

Agree again Dav!!

I've alway felt the dilation of the blood vessels induced by the relaxation brought on by the wholce process of cigar smoking must reduce strain on the heart thus undoing any damage caused by the cigar. Clear as mud?!?

One thing I never do is inhale....definitely a no no for me

I don't pull it into my lungs. I just sort of open the exit hatch differently to send the mouth-smoke out of my nose now and again.

I read an amazing article about cigar smoking once (can't remember where) written by a guy who reckoned he could send his smoke from the oral cavity up into his sinuses and feel it in his head. I have practised sort of 'smoking into my head' ever since.

Expressing this smacks of Return To Planet Felch, so I'll pull myself up sharp.

No lung inhalation for me.
Just lots of holding the clouds in my gob, and trying to smoke it upwards.
A bit like a good singing technique, really.

I start off by sticking it up my ar..... Oh...no ...sorry. I was thinking about another of my hobbies

I actually tend to blow a bit out then let the rest drift out of my nose and mouth whist savouring it, a bit like tasting a glass of wine.

With you there Davros. It's easy to overlook the aspects of wellbeing, and perception of such, created by the activities people pursue. Obviously not all are conducive to no-risk in a medical sense, but Mr. Whisk's earlier comments probably ring true for most of us

All these phallic symbol sites look the same to me.
It's the ' Length 6".. Ring Size 50' that starts me off.

Im well aware of the risks but do it because I like it, The relaxing feeling you get during and after a good cigar while still keeping your wits is heaven to me... I know plenty of smokers who have died because of it and other heavy smokers who lived beyond their 90's.

It's not all bad news BOTLs

I wish I'd kept the web reference, but I do remember reading a summary of a medical study where they found out cigar smokers were 0.5% LESS likely to get lung cancer than non-smokers, for cigar smokers who smoke less than 1-2 a week. Of course there are increased risks of throat and mouth cancer, but I don't think one or two cigars a week (or in my case a month) does anyone any harm.
