Snob defined is as follows:

–noun
1. a person who imitates, cultivates, or slavishly admires social superiors and is condescending or overbearing to others.
2. a person who believes himself or herself an expert or connoisseur in a given field and is condescending toward or disdainful of those who hold other opinions or have different tastes regarding this field: a musical snob.

Key words here are "condescending", "overbearing" and "disdainful".
Personally knowing many of the folks that have responded on this thread, adding cigar to this meaning does not define you in any way.
I may be a litany of things but because I enjoy the finer things in life whenever and every time I can, I guess I now know I cannot participate in this poll.

If need be, I can also google those new three words.

Yahtzee!
