quick back story - since college i've always been a bit overweight, and grew up in a foodie family, so i love to eat. about 18 months ago, i got in a really bad car accident (hit by a drunk driver going the wrong way on the highway) and steadily put on weight while recovering.
last week, i started a medical weight loss program (ultra low calorie diet and meds), and whenever i feel hungry or crave something i can't have, i just light up a nice stick and it takes my mind off things. so far i've lost 14 lbs in the first week and feel great. and it also gives me a great excuse to load up my humidor.
in short, cigars = great for my waistline (but less great for my wallet)
