Answer 2

People smoke cigars for the taste. But even if you're not inhaling, you're getting plenty of nicotine. I used to smoke cigars regularly (and nothing else). Every once in a great while, I'll have one. I always notice the nicotine because it makes me slightly dizzy and nauseated before I finish it.

Answer 3

It's for the flavour, and I think a lot is also for show.

Answer 5

The tobacco taste.

Answer 7

I STILL love how people answer questions they have no knowledge of.......

You smoke cigars for flavor and aroma and yes, you do not inhale - at least you're not supposed to.

As for 'holding the smoke against your gums for the nicotine' or cigars being a nicotine delivery system, that's only true for cigarettes.  It was shown that cigarette manufacturers add nicotine to their cancer sticks, while during the curing and fermentation process of tobacco for cigars will actually reduce the amount of nicotine.

Answer 8

I think the cigar smoke will basically kill your lungs eventually if you smoke it because they're so big and addictive. They're also really strong, so just puffing it does the trick. I think it was probably intended to be a really big cigarette, but whoever made it must have thought it was too strong therefore inhaling leaves enough tobacco taste in your mouth. Hope this answers your question!

P.S. I think it's suppose to make you look wealthy and cool

Answer 9

Alas dumass, we can't always get what we want.

People smoke cigars for the taste and the nicotine. What smokers do is take a couple of puffs in order to get a thick drag, then squeeze the smoke against your gums for a couple of seconds, and then push the smoke out of your mouth. You get a whole h**l of a lot of nicotine through your gums and get a nice taste of the smoke in your mouth.

Pretty much nobody likes the smell of cigar smoke, but cigar smokers like the taste of the smoke.

And I'm always surprised at the number of prudes in the Beer, Wine & Spirits section of this site.

Answer 10

They're just a drug delivery system -- people smoke them for the nicotine. The stuff about taste is nonsense. Nowhere in the world do people smoke anything that doesn't have a drug in it.

Answer 11

Good question...It is for the taste.  Cigars have so many different levels of taste based on each person's preference.  Some like theirs mild, which has very little tobacco taste, and others like it strong.  Even though many don't inhale, you can still get a buzz from one cigar.  If you want to try one, start with a mild flavored one like Monte Cristo, and see if that fits you.
