After much thought into WHY I'm putting on weight (other than I love Heath Bars), and knowing that some of you guys are, well, girthy (not like that's a bad thing, lol)...I've come to the conclusion that CIGARS ARE FATTENING!!!

Dammit!

Marla

Dammit any ways...

I'm not quitting!

If Maddies are fuller flavor, do they have more calories?

IMHO, Cigars are part of the good life. I know when I see a brother/sister of the leaf that this person knows how to enjoy the finer things. They more often then not appreciate quality food and drinks and won't hesitate to enjoy same when available.

I know they are fattening for me. When I get home I have time for a smoke or a jog. Hmmm, which will it be?

E, I've lost about 40 lbs in the past 10 weeks on Atkins...Hehehe! No kidding :0) But you may be on to something it's not really the cigars though as much as the Herfs...LOL

WTG JJ!!!! I think the 40 lbs headed south to Encinitas...and the WHAP! Right onto my ass!

LOL!

I can't do the Atkins...to much of that stuff'll give me gout...I'd rather be a herfin' heffer, than a tiny and gouty...

Good for you buddy, keep it up and keep us posted on the progress!

My mom always said that they'd stunt my growth, but I guess that only holds for up not out.

I always thought Girth was important???

As some already know, I have lost over 20 lbs because I use a cigar at lunch instead of fattening foods. I take a different cigar outside and walk for an hour every day. I wouldn't be doing it without my cigar, so it isn't fattening to me. When I want to snack in the afternoon, then I grab a tin size cigar instead. Blood pressure now down from 140/104 to 117/78. My wife has joined me and we are both losing weight.

God bless the leaf.

Dan,

You should write a book, you can probably make millions.

Marla, I absolutely LOVE how that 40 lbs looks!!!!!

They arent fattening if you dont eat them. Gotta watch out for those flavored cigars.

LOL @ puskarich. I was trying to think of something funny along that line but couldn't. Guess I wouldn't make it in stand-up.

Yeah, Dan. Every time I eat those chocolate flavored cigars, they go right to my ash.

LOL!

Most of the so-called health bars are far from healthy ...

check the carb counts in them and you'll find you may just as well be eating Milky Way or Snickers bars ...

Steve, unless E typo'd, she said Heath, not Health, unless you were pulling her leg. Heath Bars are chocolate covered toffee. Yummmmmmmmmm. One of those for breakfast and you're though eating for a while, if you're on a diet. lol. BTW, I usually eat half a Zone bar between breakfast and lunch, and the other half between lunch and dinner when I am trying to lose weight. Check 'em out.

Hey E
I am sitting here looking at a belly which is larger than when I started smoking cigars, about 12 years ago, but I think we should not just stop at weight. Since smoking cigars I have fathered two great children, cigars can be used as a fertility drug. I started a career, cigars cause one to become more responsible. I bought a house or two since I first found the love of the smoke, cigars bring financial security. I was in an accident about two years ago which ended six and a half years on a federal S.O.R.T. team but I did not die, cigars make you tougher. If I look at it that way cigars do lots of good.
waist line be damned
