I don't smoke them, but have known plenty of men who smoked them and some cigars smell delicious. With all the different types of cigars, I wonder how some people can smoke the ratty smelling ones, but figure they taste a lot better than they smell.
There's a taste for everyone. It was my son who got me back on cigars some years ago when he gave me a fine one for Father's Day. Since then, I average 10-12 a year, and none during Winter months (Northern Illinois...and I don't smoke inside).
It's like good bourbon. There is something magnificent about it, but it can be overdone, and then loses its value.
Oh, there are some nice smelling cigars. But, usually those big fat ones are stinky to me. We had to ride in the car with my dad smoking those big cigars (forgot which kind) but I got sick of the smell.
