I was walking to a corner store with a buddy for a drink and we were smoking cigars and the wind was blowing back at us, after taking a puff I decided to take a breath of fresh air all while the smoke I just blew out came back and socked me in the face. Long story short I almost died right there in the parking lot lol.

If you wanna spend a good hour and a half on the floor, inhale cigar smoke

Did this with 5 cheap and thicc cigarillos back to Back... i swear i tought i was gonna die i was lying in the ground for like an hour and my heart was pumping so rapidly i tought it was gonna jump out of my chest

When I was around 14 a good friend of mine happened into two cigars. We went to our secret hideout next to the playground and smoked them like cigarettes. That experience is burned into my memory until today. After about 15 minutes it started with a little nausea and after 30 it felt like we got sea-sick and Mike Tyson gave us a one-two combo into the stomach and nuts. I though I was going to die and never touched cigars again until my early 30s. I like to think his dad saw us before and after and that's why he never mentioned the missing cigars; long story short: don't inhale! :D

[@gotogi83]

You can get the same symptoms from smoking regular cigarettes, I smoke for 4 years and the only dif I noticed between the two is that cigars burn more, similar to cigarettes without filter. The strongest cigarettes are made with black tobaco, if you're not a smoker and you try that you will straight up puke, even seasoned smokers do.

[@johnbu9098]

One inhale of the smoke will reduce your mobility to less than 5.

[@Riley_Mundt]

I always get a laugh when I see this question pop up. My father smoked cigars for decades, inhaling the whole time. He didn't stop until his mid 60's when smoking as a whole caught up with him and it became more difficult for him to breath.

There's a 106 yr old guy, that has always swallowed the smoke, along with a glass of whiskey, and he's breezing through life!

As an ex-cigarette smoker, I sometimes will inhale the smoke, although I'm more likely to retrohale. Inhaling the smoke for me is different from what I use to do with cigarettes: I'll puff the cigar like usual, enjoy the flavor in my mouth, then take a quick breath in and back out.

I stopped smoking cigarettes 9yrs ago. I just started smoking cigars. I was afraid of getting addicted to nicotine again. I don’t have the cravings like I did when smoking cigarettes. I do not inhale. I only smoke 1cigar a day. Depending on size I sometimes let it go out and pick it back up later.

Smoked my first cigar yesterday and I inhaled the entire time had me coughing like hell but was still enjoyable

[@aru1224]

I smoke cigars often and i really enjoy it, but I cant even inhale a cigarette without coughing for some reason. Trying to inhale a cigar would be equal to a sniff of chlorine gas for me I guess. Also I dont think you get as much of the flavour when you inhale and in general, why damage your lungs for no reason?

I accidentally inhaled just now lol it gave me a great buzz

[@DarkTradFR]

My first ever cigar when i was 19 was in my room , i wasn't inhaling directly the smoke but i was smoking with no windows open or fresh air coming , so i was, in the end, inhaling the smoke. Results: I spent 3 hours not feeling well on my bed unable to do anything. lol Nowadays i just smoke next to my opened window.

If you're scared to inhale cause its bad for you, why smoke in the first place. Inhale or stay home.

[@randomcharacters2230]

because inhaling will give you cancer, while just holding it in will give you the desired effects without as much of the risks

[@TheDivello]

If the cigars aren't too strong, I can inhale them. Strong cigars I don't inhale, but when I exhale, I inhale again and catch some of the smoke again in my lungs. It depends on how good you can handle the burn in your lungs and throat.

[@joelspring6201]

Everyone has their own personal preference. However, I say a Cigar is not meant to be inhaled. You smoke cigarettes to inhale the smoke, but you smoke a Cigar to taste the smoke and aroma. I suggest that you don't inhale.

What's the point of smoking a cigar if you dont inhale defeats the purpose of smoking I thought people inhaled at least a quarter of the puff

[@capturefield4949]

Taste. If you want a buzz smoke cigarettes or weed. Cigars are for the flavor.

[@Existomalus]

I thought the same thing until I started smoking it regularly. It's 100% for the flavor of what they produce. And trust me, you don't want to inhale these. Lol it fucking sucks, coming from a cigarette smoker myself

[@miguelthebest384]

I have a Question... If you suck on it say 4-6 seconds. And you're keeping the smoke in your mouth for about 10-20 seconds, whiles breathing in and out through ur nose, Is that Inhaling??

I don’t fully inhale. I like to inhale just enough for it to hit the back of my throat. Then I exhale. Very little to none gets to my lungs.

[@juliamihajlovich]

So if you dont inhale, how are you smoking it? Just puffing it then inhaling through your nose after the smoke has lifted?

[@sparrowgaming6941]

Nicotine absorbs in the mouth that's the logic behind cigar smoking

I have been smoking cigarettes (not a heavy smoker) for more than 30 years ,, I quit 1 year ago ,, I decided to go nicotine free for the first 3 months , then as a reward later I told myself that I will start enjoying cigars (never inhale) once or twice a week. It worked ,, sometimes I stay more than a week without a cigar and it’s fine with me no cravings whatsoever. It turned out that cigars are much much enjoyable socially and my lungs are much better off compared to before.

so how do u get the smoke in ur mouth do u just let it fall i or what?

+ben smith Just puff. It's like taking a drink of water through a straw. You pull the water into your mouth through the straw, and then swallow. Only with cigars, you pull in the smoke through the cut end, savor the flavor, and blow the smoke out.

[@tylerdeluca7409]

Have you lost any sense of smell

[@NikoBellaKhouf]

If you blow smoke out of your nose all the time it will hurt your sense of smell eventually. The smoke irritates the receptors and causes them to atrophy. The irritation also causes increased mucous production.

[@nekolin47]

Just don't go so hard! I inhale literally every puff, and I just - wait until the cigar isnt super hot - keep the smoke in my mouth for a bit and maybe swish it around beforehand - dont suck a whole lot out of the cigar to begin with and boom! I don't get sick, it's just a nice little nic high, like normal. You can use one cigar conservatively and spread it out over a long time, like a pack of cigs.

[@laughingachilles]

I wanted to offer what is likely a unique perspective on this as I am both a cigar smoker and a biologist who has dissected many organs and tissues including lungs. Way back in the early days of my research career I was dissecting donated lungs for research on COPD, as you can imagine this involved donors of all types; smokers, non-smokers, people who worked in mines who did and didn't smoke etc etc. Over a period of time I noticed something odd, certain lungs seemed to be darker towards the top and lighter towards the bottom and it triggered some preliminary research that revealed the people who had darker lungs towards the top were often cigar smokers. It seems that even though cigar smokers don't inhale, a small amount of smoke does tend to enter the lungs and affect the upper lobes. At the time the research was not focused upon this sort of thing and I've found very little reliable research about this specific issue but I thought I would bring it up in case anyone is interested. Ultimately we all know this is bad for us but we enjoy the flavour.

[@kilo393]

Laughing Achilles There is a man named Richard Arvin Overton and he is the oldest ww2 vet in the US.He smokes cigars with a glass of whiskey everyday and he is fine.He is 112 years old by the way.He does claim to swallow it though instead of inhaling it or taking a puff.I don't know how that works.

[@laughingachilles]

In science we work on trends, a single individual is an outlier that proves nothing. As the man is 112 I would suggest he has incredible genetics.

[@RR-gw2uj]

Laughing Achilles That is why science never progresses in our modern day. Must only bad genetics be studied because they’re commonly seen, or should outliers with good genetics also be studied as perhaps they hold the answers? A true scientist would not ignore a single data point because it doesn’t conform to the rest, rather, a true scientist would determine WHY that data point does not follow the trend.

[@vladimirspectorov5752]

Zuihnecr Xoawke science in our era progress faster than in any era. And... it is OK to not rely on one single individual. Because on one 112 yr old smokingdrinkingstilldriving there is a thousands of old people that could not even walk or remember his own children. And the fact that he is smoking and drinking not the case of his age, it’s his INSANE genetics, that was not beaten by his lyfestyle. But, some studies said, that nicotine consumers are more common to have clear mind without dementia, B.C. Of the stimulation of dopamine production. That’s why a lot of smoking grandpas are pretty ok with mind (but not with respiratory system or vessels ofk)

[@NikoBellaKhouf]

@@laughingachilles thanks for sharing your experience. It was interesting information.

[@Cr4v1nDys]

The nicotine content of cigars and pipe tobacco is much higher (100 to 400 mg) than that of cigarettes (about 8 mg) and is not mitigated by the "filtering" tobacco layers. The tobacco and shapes of cigars cause that an accurate indication of the nicotine content of cigars is practically impossible, and therefore it is also not specified by law. In addition, the cigar smoke contains more toxins such as tar, benzene and benzopyrene. Also for those reasons it is not recommended to inhale the smoke of cigars and pipe tobacco. During puffing the cigar or pipe the nicotine is absorbed through the oral mucosa indeed, but much more slowly, so it has not a stronger effect than a cigarette. By puffing much of the toxins are exhaled again with the smoke and do not enter the lungs. Nevertheless, regular cigar-puffing is not much healthier than smoking in general. So, in order to sum it up: If you say that you just smoke one cigar a day, by inhaling this one cigar, you can compare it to smoking a whole pack of cigarettes or even more. Therefore you are then considered as a heavy smoker... and that by just one cigar per day (if you inhale it).
