"Cigars are so unhealthy"
*opens beer*
tijmen131 you cant compare a fckng cigar with a Beer...
@psyched
stop with the nonsense.... NO
M&M 1974 yes you can. But an uneducated person like you wouldn’t know that.
"cigars are so unhealthy"
Proceeds to eat McDonald's. Heart disease and obesity account for more deaths per year than smoking, especially cigar smoking.
dstarkspp What nonsense? Are facts hurting your feelings?
I'm a veteran, was actually addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
No doubts shrooms are 100% blessings from nature. Indeed nature's little miracles
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? Really need 🙏
YES very sure of Predroavaro. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, BPD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

@@immortalsun exactly
As a life long lover of stogies, this sounds like the stupidest thing imaginable. It's like competitive meditation, and goes against the entire purpose of smoking a cigar: relaxation, reflection, bringing people together (not competition).
I wouldn't inherently say stupid, to each their own, however if I'm gonna smoke my cigar, I wanna actually take my time and enjoy it. I enjoy smoking it in my yard or if I'm out in my neighborhood, or if I'm with a group of friends. Especially if I had a long day at work. Makes everything really relaxing
Its just humans were naturally competitive
It looks like they are all talking and enjoying the time together. You have to remember that competition doesn't mean it doesn't bring people together! Chess clubs are all about competing with each other but everyone is friends!
I agree w Jonathan
@@chie1709 I agree as well. Fine cigars should be savored in a tranquil contemplative setting. I'm sick of everything being turned into competitive sport.
“25-30 cigars a week”
That could be between $250 - $800 depending on the cigars
Not really, there are cigars for $4 which arent that bad
@@cutuway You really think that man even looks at a $4 cigar
Mike Hawk even at $4 its a lot ($100-$120 a week)
@@cutuway Yea that's quite a lot for you and I but for him, he looks like a high roller. I could be very wrong though. To be that much of a cigar enthusiast I bet he spends a significant portion of his disposable income on it.
Mike Hawk you can even see under his name that hes an owner of a cigar business
p.s high roller solely means a big gambler it has nothing to do with spending lots of money on a certain item
My father smoked cigars when I was growing up. Never really understood the appeal of it. Always seemed like a waste of too much time. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to realize that the time you set aside for a cigar, is you time.You cherish the time spent on a nice cigar to clear the mind
That is the EXACT reason why I love cigars. Aside from the taste and stuff, but I love the ME time that I get from just relaxing and smoking a cigar.
@@Werdisbond just realised that same today .
Happy smoking everyone
Stop the wisdom bs, a cigar is just a cigar
@@RSTEM hahaha!!.. recently I run into more and more ppl that suddenly are all about cigars... oh and Bourbon.. or smoking a cigar while sipping on a glass of Bourbon.. in my opinion it's just a form of having a topic of conversation e.g. "have you tried this cigar..it's so smooth and has such a bold taste".. it's for fools that wanna look mature and cool .. total nonsense... recently I was hanging with a few coworkers as they all puffed on a cigar..by the end of the cigar session we came to find out one of the guys was actually inhaling the whole time..apparently he didn't know how to even smoke a cigar smh lol.. obvious proof that a lot of ppl just do it to look cool, fit it, or just plain fools... this society has become more and more full of sheep that worry too much about how other ppl perceived them.. smh what a joke 😆 🤣
@@abelcastaneda5340 and what about the people who set aside a fee hours a week to go to a lounge or sit out on their deck alone, to just have quiet and not actually think about anything or ever be driven by the need to impress or fit in with others? Your and the one above you replies are gross generalizations and may accurately speak to your personal experiences, but shouldn't serve as a blanket statement to characterize all cigar smokers, new or old, novice or experienced.

Start competitive blunt smoking.
Wet the blunt when it rolled dont water board it tho it's not going to stop you from making a cherry it will just make the blunt hit slower or make double blunt

Kurohige lol educate yourself bro
Smoking a cigar isn't a sport, it's an art and should be approached as such.
I once heard that cigarettes are like watching TV, a cigar is like watching
a good movie and pipes are like reading a good book. Its a good analogy.
I tend to disagree. Smoking a Cigar is not an art. Its the apreciation of an artwork.
cigarettes are like energy drinks, cigars are like a nice well-made coffee. i dont smoke pipes cause i'm not 100 years old or a wizard.

Probably not an original observation however cigars are a natural product and Very substantially from cigar to cigar measuring the amount of time it takes to smoke a cigar has too many variables to be considered an actual sport There's no consistency amongst the sporting implement
that's why they use the same cigars

@@jadinrobinson4448 at 8? His father, and with all the respect, even yours if that happened when you were a minor, are idiots, don't care for their son or just disinformed. You can't give a min beer, it's unhealthy, affects the neural functions of the brain, damages teeths and could cause various types of cancer. Smoking too, there are reasons why minors cant drink beer or smoke, they don't have responsability over their body nor the system to correctly consume what well it's basicly, and lets be honest, poison.
@@ozzie_cnrd2262 no? what would happen if you take a puff of a cigar - a child would inhale more from the streets.

Full disclosure: I am a pack and a half (daily) cigarette smoker for over 45 years. >
That out of the way, I was merely pointing out and as you acknowledged you increase your chances of getting cancer by smoking cigars. Lots of people think there are NO consequences to cigar smoking. As I am hooked on nicotine I hate to see others get caught up in the dirty habit as I have. I know it looks like a double standard and it is but if I can talk one person into not smoking I feel I have done some good.
PS BTW I am a BIG advocate of living your life the way you want - eating what you want as long as you want.

You can’t get long cancer by smoking a cigar because you don’t inhale it.
smoking doesn't give you mouth cancer
I love smoking cigars, so Forgive me for saying this for those are sensitive abt it; I don't see the purpose of those who smoke gars and not inhale. Some say they do it for style and flavor. And some say it relaxes them. Style is stupid and the flavor is nasty and how can you relax off NOT inhaling? I'm not one is afraid it'll kill me. I trust God with all I do. And when I inhale that first puff from a hard day's work or pressure, that first inhale is EVERYTHING to me. Thank God for Cigars, And for those who smoke cigarettes as well. They ain't for everybody. So don't judge us. God apparently chose cigars for us for this type of relaxation, because it makes me feel stronger and not weaker.

Well, guess I can always roll up a blunt.
most of these smokers haven't worked out a single day in their life.
Surely most of the "competitive" element comes from how the cigar has been hand rolled, could be slightly tight or loose. Most of this depends on luck.

My first thought was ‘This is organized stupidity.’ But these guys are enjoying themselves. Might be giving themselves mouth cancer, but I used to smoke. And when I smoked it was because I was addicted. Rarely cigars. These guys? They are relaxing and enjoying themselves.
Go for it guys!
The difference also is that cigars aren't inhaled while cigarettes are. You basically just taste them by letting the smoke sit in your mouth.
