if you have zero experience with tobacco, i doubt you smoked 2 cigars yesterday, maybe cigarillos

1. romeo y julieta
2. mouth cancer, it's genetics
3. they're smokeable, but dry and bitter as fuck
4. yes, smoking is bad for all those three

>>18207271
also, if you're going to be serious with this hobby, get a good humidor, none of those cheap crapboxes

>>18207271
>My great gramps smoked cigs daily without inhaling and lives to 96. Obviously there are risks but are they at the level that deserves autistic screeching and sneeding.

It's genetics. My grandma is 93 and also smoked her whole life. Only stopped a decade ago because of diabetes. Smoking objectively isn't good for you but it doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get your neck plugged. It's a roll of the dice.

>>18207284
Got any specific makers/units you would recommend?

>>18207284
don't listen to this nigger, get a big tupperware with hermetic seal put a boveda pack inside and throw cigars in

If you want the quality that's inferred when Cuban cigars are mentioned, get Nicaraguans. Lots of Cuban cigar producers fled to Nicaragua when Castro took over, and are of equal if not better quality due to stricter quality enforcements than in Cuba.
Nicaraguans are more often cheaper too.

My personal favourite so far are My Father cigars, especially La Gran Oferta series.

>>18207291
Just because your grandma was lucky doesn't mean you will be either. Smoking is objectively terrible for you. I can't believe /pol/faggots really try to convince people smoking isn't bad for you.

>a pack of cigarettes that were given to me 8 months ago
Opened? They'll be dry as fuck and taste awful. Opened cigarette packages only last like 3-5 days.

>Smoking is objectively terrible for you

That is literally what I said.

>Just because your grandma was lucky doesn't mean you will be either.

Never implied otherwise. The fact is that OP can get lucky like my grandma or his grandpa did. I don't smoke because it's also gross.

Weird post.

It's just an addiction.

>>18207524
Cigars aren't addictive.

>>18207637
Nicotine is one the most addictive drugs out there, and tobacco is full of nicotine. Cigars are in fact made of tobacco. You dont have to breathe in for some of the nicotine to enter your blood stream

>>18207655
Shut the fuck up faggot. I’m 97 and not about to stop smoking Havanas. Puff puff you cock puffing queers

>>18207271
cigars are safe, cigarettes probably aren't. all smoke can be bad for electronics.

>>18207271
Cigars are healthy

>>18207271
>1. What are the cheapest quality tobacco blends/Cuban cigars:
For cheapness get Vegas 5, Rocky Patel, Gurka. Don't buy from tobacco stores, get them shipped via cigar catelogs (i recommend cigar international) and if you're serious then get a humidor. Cigars can get "better" with proper humidity but don't go putting crap cigars/flavored shit in there.
>2. What are the risks of smoking tobacco without inhaling
You will drive every woman away from you whenever you light one, though some consider this a reward/incentive rather than a risk
>can I smoke without inhaling as a one off and be fine.
Sure, but you'd be wasting a cigarette. Cigarettes/chew are for the tobacco high. Cigars are for the flavor/experience.
>4. Affects of smoke on eyes, hair and walls.
Yes. As in yes it will affect all of those
>I have but I want organic opinions
You're talking about a literal plant. It's literally a fucking dried plant with plant leaves as the wrapping. You can only fuck this up by buying gas station cigars and soaking them with fentanyl

>>18207655
Killing people with kindness has resulted in more deaths than tobacco ever will, now go commit another g

>>18207271
1. Just get Cohiba and Montecristo. They're not cheap but they're good.
2. You don't risk lung cancer when you don't inhale, but you can still get mouth and possibly throat cancer. The risk will depend on how frequently you smoke, and to a lesser extent the quality of the tobacco (whether it has additives or not). Quality cigars like from 1. won't have additives. Same goes for pipe tobacco and cigarillos. Cigarettes are the worst, as they're packed full of chemical crap. Avoid them.
3. They'll be fine to smoke but might taste weird. You can smoke cigarettes decades after they're made.
4. Probably negative, but again depends on how much you smoke.

There's also possible benefits: nicotine may have positive cognitive effects, and it's pleasant to have a smoke in the right setting.

Just smoke quality stuff and don't smoke too much and you'll be fine. I for instance like to smoke my pipe or have a cohiba cigar once or twice a month, usually when I'm out camping or otherwise out in nature. It's very pleasant.

What about pipe tobacco?

>>18208071
It's based

>>18207280
fpbp
Also, try cigars that come in metal tins of 5. They're usually good and not too expensive, for instance pic related.

>>18207271
Oliva Serie V or Serie O is a good mid price cigar. Padron 1964 is another very good one.

>>18207783
you get higher off cigars than any cigarette is capable of. sure it's not that adrenaline burst, but it's pretty damn heavy. cigars have a body load that cigarettes do not.

>>18208071
my wife fucking loves the smell of pipe tobacco. reminds her of her grandpa but in a secure sexy way

>>18207271
I can answer 3. Cigarettes are not the same as cigars, and after 8 months they are stale as fuck anyway. They're the only people that smoke cigarettes without inhaling are 13 year old girls, if anyone saw you doing that they would laugh at you. Give them away to a homeless person.

I don't know what that image is, but those predrilled buttholes means super cheap shit smokes.
Best for the price, decent, is Oliva V. Any of them. My Father (the original, not My Father this or that) is also excellent.
Smoke outside. You will smell like an unfuckable piece of shit for 24 hours but at least your living room will not.

>>18207271
>What are the risks of smoking tobacco without inhaling
If you smoke a cigar a day your odds only go up by like 2%. Fact is the anti-smoking push isn't because it causes cancer, rather it's because smoking actually helps filter out the fluoride and estrogen they put in our water supply but an outright ban would be too obvious/cause too much an uproar so instead they try to scare you away. This is why drinking despite arguably being far more dangerous is still deemed as acceptable in society because it keeps you dormant.

>>18207655
I can go without a cigar for months with only the slightest annoyance
Cigarette smokers cannot go without a cigarette for a single day
You are a straight-edge fag depriving yourself of one of life's great pleasures because you have an addictive personality

Undercrown are the best cigars you can get for under $10 a stick.

>>18207271
I smoked for 7 years and just this week finally quit. Don't smoke
>inb4 stfu fag
You asked for my opinion and my opinion is to not smoke at all

>>18209731
I think you should wait at least a month and a half before declaring you stopped smoking

>>18208127
>>18208517
Not asking for opinions on pipe tobacco, asking for cheap brands past the quality barrier (people have only recommended cigars so far).

>>18209768
Find a local tobacconist (not a smoke shop, a tobacconist) and ask them to recommend you something.

>>18209750
You're right but I haven't actually smoked in months. I been using nicotine lozenges since then, and only this past week stopped those too

Take this off topic shit to the off topic general you faggot

Cigars have flavour, and are unironically closer to food than the McGoyslop that plagues this board.

They're the same thing as fast food. It tastes like shit and WILL give some type of cancer in the future

So is sugar, alcohol, salt, and really anything that isn’t a precisely-measured liquid meal replacement and distilled water. The oldest woman to ever live smoked cigarettes every day; so long as you’re not burning through a pack daily you’ll be fine. You have a bigger chance of dying in a car crash.

Can I inhale every few puffs if i smoke a cigar a few times a year

Kindof like a hookah too, I have a cousin that loves them and we burn up a cafe near his place every time I visit almost every day I'm there but there no craving and when I leave there's absolutely no withdrawal.
