In no way are cigars like durries imo. I've never felt like a ciggie after an occassional (once a year, tops) cigar. As long as you think you can handle it I think you're safe ... but only you know the answer to that.

I have one a year, on new years.. (cigar). Something I started a long time ago. I haven't broken that tradition, but I must admit, it now makes me feel sicker than it did, and if anything, it reaffirms that my decision to quit smoking was a sound one

Ive been smoke free since starting this thread and going strong
. . . . and no, I havnt fallen off the wagon!
. .
BUT ... as some of you know . .. . Im expecting my first child in April next year
and of course, the traditional cigar was always in the back of my mind.
WELL . .. as it happens, I actually got permission from" her that makes all laws"
. . that this would be the one and only time that I could smoke . . .
THEN .. I happen to mention to one of my clients this, and what does he do? . .. Pulls out a box of Genuine Cuban friggn cigars!!! . .. Gives me one and says allow 3 hours and half a bottle of scotch for this sucker . .
Sooooooooo .......... having said all this, should I stick with the nil smoko, OR give in to this once in a lifetime endulgance . . .
Richo, what was the outcome of this dilemma?

Richo I'd never smoked cigars/cigarettes, in the middle east on leave we would have a beer while kicking back with a sheesha and relaxing.
I had my first cigar on return to Australia about 200Nm from home on our last night at sea to celebrate coming home from deployment, and the end of a gruelling 11 months of training and deployment. so celebrating is alll good

Howdy . . so sorry, I havnt been on the ksrc for ages and feel so guilty about it . . . It's that bloody face book!
In any case . . Upon my beautiful daughters arrival, I got home, poured myself a nice 18 yrold Scotch and un-packed my Cuban.
After about three puffs I decided it was not for me
fuckin gross to be honest. That was 2 months ago and yeah, as you say . . It's been 2 years since the quit and all is going well
