My son is fascinated by cigars!

My daughter is 12 and she's always after me to smoke a cherry cigar. One of these days I'll relent, but all the no's are what will make it fun for her in the future.
She'll think she's totally badass when she gets to take a puff.

Haha good point. When that day comes...she will be very happy!

My nephew was always interested in cigars, my niece too to a smaller extent. She would love to flick the ash.
When he was young, about 4, he'd beg me for a puff. I just couldn't say no. But I told him that the way you smoke a cigar is to blow into it so the smoke comes out the end. He'd put the cigar in his mouth and blow hard, his little eyes almost crossed to see the smoke billowing out the foot.
The most memorable cigar I've ever had was one New Year's morning in the shadow of Mt. Washington in NH. It was 15 below at dawn and I was out on the balcony at an inn we were staying at. I heard a little knock on the slider door, he was inside grinning. I let him have two "puffs". The look of joy on his little face as we "shared" this cigar remains vivid in my mind today. It was a CC, Punch corona.
He's now 18 and on his way to college in Florida. I can't wait to take him to some cool places in FL where we can smoke a good one.

Always as he was growing up, I told him countless times that cigars are for adults only. After the age of 5 or so he never asked for a puff again.
I'm glad for that because I'm known as the "Bad Uncle" influence wise. If he had been caught smoking cigars at age 12 I'd have been in big trouble!
I think it's very important to reinforce that smoking is a choice that adults make. A choice that can have some serious consequences.
