HEY, THNX FOR SUCH NICE TOPIC ON REDIFF, YET CIGAR SMOKING IS INJURIOUS, STILL IT CAN BE TAKEN FOR TASTE AND ENTERTAINMENT, BUT DEFINATELY NOT FOR CHAIN SMOKING...
Let us get one thing absolutely straight, any kind of smoking is NOT GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH. Since there is pressure on cigarettes the tobacco lobby is trying to get smokers to light up with cigars. At around 500-700 rupees a smoke this is one expensive habit. Second hand cigar smoke is as bad as cigarette smoke so avoid this in public, at home and around your kids.
Cigars are not addictive? says who? for sure they are habituating. All the paraphernalia like humidoirs, cutters, match box cases are like all other middle aged old coots'toys.
If you have not smoked a cigar, stay away. If you are a fool with money then go ahead and get parted from, it light up.
Incidentally the cigars from the Philippines and Indonesia are almost as good as the Cubans and are far far cheaper.
At one time India was a maker of cigars as well, the area in and around Trichy made the "Black Tiger" and "London Calling" brands. Peacock was another brand from Dindigul.
If you have money, you are supposed to live such desperate lives, moving from one fancy to the other till you feel dry and run to a clinic for depression. Whoever in Rediff that is spewing such non-sense has not understood its middle class readership.
