How to smoke a cigar
step 1: wear a suit
I was telling my self
HOW TO SMOKE a cigar without wearing a suit it seemed impossible
Well... GO ON
You sir are a man of culture and class.
Step one: Don't inhale.
@@cj7orani487 ah I see you’re a man of culture as well

Hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️🤣

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.
Tip: Never brush off ashes that fall on you, blow them off.
Why?
@@slimxshady6111 Brushing them off smears them into your clothes, as the loser @ 2:01 found out. Blowing them off keeps them relatively intact and doesn't stick nor smear to your clothes

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.

p.s high roller solely means a big gambler it has nothing to do with spending lots of money on a certain item

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.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
I'm a cigar smoker, and this has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of!! :)

@Andrew Joseph Cooper Nicotine does slow you down tho
Me, watching this while smoking hand-rolled tobacco and drinking coffee to fight sleep deprivation: “this seems unhealthy”
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
Wish my blunt lasted that long
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

@@levay8224 i guess.. the thing is, i haven't looked up jack about cigars..
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.
I was 8 years old when my dad let me take a puff of his cigar . I enjoy a cigar occasionally. Thanks Papa.

@@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.

You don’t inhale cigars, also cigars don’t have any of the poisons that cigarettes have.
Unimaginable skill, focus and determination necessary! Move over rock climbing! These guys epitomize athleticism!!
And I thought I'd seen everything. It's weird how this world always succeds in surprising me. And I'm rather happy that Im not running out of things to experience.

Me : Trying to qui smoking and don't think about it
All my friends around me at the party :
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.

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.
PPS - I dislike cigar smoke. LOL Could you guess that???
Cigar smoking competition? No thanks. I like to enjoy my cigar in peace and content, like it’s meant to be enjoyed.
Preferably listening to some Pink Floyd.
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.

We're going from casual cancer to ranked competitive cancer
Everything has to be a competition nowadays, even the things that are supposed to be taken slowly.
Bronze medal: throat cancer
Silver medal: mouth cancer
Gold medal: lung cancer
mightysloth22 World Record: Death
You can’t get long cancer by smoking a cigar because you don’t inhale it.
smoking doesn't give you mouth cancer
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.
A competition for destroying your lungs and heart 🔥
You dont Inhale cigar smoke

"The Sport of Cigar Smoking" I prefer to call it "Speedrunning Cancer"
A sport where if you take it seriously enough, you'll never be able to play another sport again.
That is one expensive habit both money wise and health wise
“I want to be known as the legend cigar smoker that also has stage 4 mouth cancer”
I feel like they can kill me by snapping their fingers
That looks like a great atmosphere and way to connect with others, regardless of time. Yes, cigars are technically “bad” for you but are healthier than cigarettes being that you don’t inhale. To relax and sit back with friends or solo, sipping on a good drink/coffee, listening to nature or music, reminiscing and unwinding after a long day…there’s nothing like it. I only recently got into cigars a few years ago and smoke between 5-8/week depending on how busy I may be at work. It’s never a chore to smoke, always something I look forward to and my zen zone. Apparently, I smoke kind of slower than most but I have my go to cigars and ones I’d love to try since I’m still developing my palette on what notes, blends, and strengths I like. Some mild ones are a go to in the morning or afternoon while some darker, stronger blends (after a meal, of course) are a great evening smoke. But even if one doesn’t inhale, depending on the strength or just the speed that one smokes still runs the risk of the nicotine high that ends with a bad experience. I wouldn’t think that a competition is necessary though in order to do something that most cigar aficionados already enjoy, but to each his/her own. Great looking lounge though. Would love to visit there and try out a few sticks
It's ironic how most sports keep your lungs and overall body healty, while this one won't.
it's not a sport to begin with anyways
