However, any changes that happen subsequent to underwriting is not subject to disclosure. You could have a had any number of health conditions, but if it was not preexisting or did not come up in underwriting, the life insurance company cannot deny a claim on that basis. Once the policy is issued, you can do whatever you want, but you don't want to lie prior to the policy being issued also.
I read all this online. Like I said earlier. I will disclose the occasional cigar. That said being healthy, young, a runner, non drinker, I dont see any health issues arrising from cigars in the next 2 years. It has almost been a week since I had a cigar though and will likely be another week apparently before this dude gets off his arse and gets out here. I am sure I will test negative.

I tell you what the Cohiba Esplendido I got in the MAW will meet its end after this physical.
