This. I once had a dentist try to lecture me about smoking; he was stunned when I told him that you don't inhale cigar smoke.

Haha!!! My friends that smoke cigarettes don't get cigars at all and a poor Vietamese friend turned green smoking through half a mild cigar before setting it down. I figure he powered through 30 cigarettes in that one setting!!!

I think there are a lot of other factors involved regarding this. You can mention Milton Berle, Winston Churchill, George Burns, but then again there were a couple of other famous cigar smokers who died of oral/throat cancer: Sigmund Freud and Babe Ruth. Freud was very fond of his cocaine along with his cigars, and Ruth drank like a fish. Connection? Maybe. In any case, I don't worry much about it.
