I believe that there are two kinds of cigar smokers: 1. The the casual, just to be social, will smoke a cigar when offered and may even buy one or two a week, cigar smoker....
2. And people like us who see it more as a hobby, a past time, etc.
I personally enjoy the whole process....the ritual, so to speak. I enjoy doing the the research, the shopping for the bargin, preparing and monitoring the humidor (their home) and turning a friend on to a new great discovery, and just the quiet time that I set aside each night after dinner to sit with a good book or magazine, my cigar and a beverage. It's one of the things I choose to do with my leisure time and expendable income. As an aside, I was the same way with my pipes....(I may one day go back to them as I do have some beauties). Just a few thoughts........
