This is a subject that has been an interest of mine for some time as searching old posts would reveal ... you may or may not be aware that during what is known as the "boom", many cigar stores featured "women's nights" an all-female herf where women could explore cigars in a less than threatening environment ... I found that interesting, but didn't pay too much attention to it . Then, about a year and a half ago, while we were on vacation, MrsS went with me into a local store where she decided to buy a small flavored cigar on a lark ... and found she rather enjoyed it ... she has continued to smoke cigars on a regular, although infrequent basis since then and has her own humidor. Earlier this year, she and I were in a local store near our home and I observed that of the six customers in the store at the time, all besides me were women, all of whom were buying for themselves ... what struck me most was that all were quite attractive women rather than a stereotype image one might have of hardened big-rig drivers or biker mammas ... since then, and as recently as yesterday, I've observed so many attractive women buying cigars that I've posted in this forum asking why others might think this to be the case ... most respondents don't seem to have seen as many women buyers as I have, but quite a few have quietly admitted their wives or SOs sneak a puff or two now and then ...
Maybe Trish from CI/CB will see this and offer her input and observations ... I know she does a bit of cigar smoking from time to time ... tell us whacha think about this from a womans perspective, will you Trish? ... e-Chick, if you're around, feel free to join in too, won't you??
