I'm always happy to find an established poker blogger; it's nice to read through first postings so I don't get discouraged on my own fledgling poker career.<br /><br />As for the cigars? Inhalation=death. I don't have any numbers, but it's supposed to much, much worse than inhaling cigarette smoke... like one good 15-minute smoking of a cigar equals a pack, something crazy like that. And I definitely agree with how hard it is to get the taste out of your mouth, mouthwash or no. I always forget since I smoke a cigar maybe 4 times a year, but the next day's always rough. The fiance hates it :PThornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15595432592496812351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-52021140465317364532010-03-29T05:40:57.369-07:002010-03-29T05:40:57.369-07:00My buddy who was at the time an assistant to the c...My buddy who was at the time an assistant to the city manager of Lubbock got me started, and I learned there was a clear cut difference between a Swisher Sweet, and a Macanudo or Don Tomas.<br />I had a Cuban on a cruise and it was nice. You can find good Dominican or Costa Rician made cigars that not so expensive you feel like you are burning a rolled up $20 bill, that are made by the Cuban exiles that left when Castro took over.<br />But it isn't for everyone, and the lightheaded feeling goes away quickly.PrinceofHoustonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-25598472372416055352010-03-28T13:46:44.927-07:002010-03-28T13:46:44.927-07:00Yes, do not inhale but enjoy the flavor (especiall...Yes, do not inhale but enjoy the flavor (especially with the "dipping it in scotch" suggestion).

I'm not an everyday smoker, by any account, but there is something to be said about the experience.<br /><br />In your case, if you try again, I'd recommend pairing the cigar with one of your favorite Scotches. You can even dip the end of the cigar you keep into your mouth into the Scotch to add another level of flavor.<br /><br />As for the morning after breath... yeah, there's not much you can do. Some Listerine before bed is usually the best bet.<br /><br />Oh, and congrats on the job.JKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442410099610262200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-56385975406969227892010-03-27T11:38:47.284-07:002010-03-27T11:38:47.284-07:00What a great detailed description of your first ci...What a great detailed description of your first cigar. You heathen, you. I am not even sure you are supposed to inhale cigars when you smoke them. I know I never did (not that I smoked cigars very much, but still). I have fingers crossed for the signing of the contract!The Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13791985039561584580noreply@blogger.com
