I agree 100% I have always cringed at the term. In fact, as much as I love the movie, Wedding Crashers (and watch it often), I almost dread the part where Owen Wilson's character replies to Secretary Cleary's offer of a cigar with "Stogies!"

Now....on the other hand, I do occasionally use the term 'sticks'....but, for no clear reason, usually in the plural...rarely to discuss a specific cigar.
