Nothing but cigars. Quit smoke cigs 13-14 years ago. Dip or chew always phucked me up too bad and made me drop a B line for the throne.

When I was just a kid playing baseball I saw alot of the pro's chewing tobacco so I had said to my Dad something about wanting to chew . So one day he went over to our neighbors house who's nephew was in town for a visit and he happened to be a truck driver . He chewed Redman . So Dad had him come over and show me what to do . I took a pinch about the size of my thumb , placed it in my mouth between cheek and gums . Held it there for a couple minutes and then tried to spit . Got spit all over my chin and on my t-shirt . And then the burn started , spit the whole wad of tobacco out and tried for a while to get that nasty taste out of my mouth . Awful tasting stuff to me then . Never tried it again . Oh and my Dad and Larry were laughing pretty hard at me . Think I was about 12 at the time . To bad it wasn't captured on video , didn't really have video cameras back in 1979-80 like there are now .

I smoke a cigarette now and then (2 a day at the heaviest) because I enjoy the nicotine rush occasionally and I enjoy smoking tobacco in general. Never could get addicted to it though. I enjoy clove cigarettes too.

Snuff (nasal) I use very seldomly, but it comes in handy on long drives when I'm tired. Never chewed in my life.

Better stock up while you can then. As of the 22nd, all flavored cigarettes with the exception of menthol were banned.

Wouldn't that make you option 4, Jamie?

I used to pop in some skoal bandits or camel snus at work. But since I've started to smoke cigars, this is it.

JJG · 09-26-2009, 12:19 AM

ex cigarette smoker checking in.

It was actually cigars that got me to quit smoking cigarettes, and I didn't just replace one with the other. I didn't smoke at all for two months. Now I only smoke between 1-3 cigars per week, generally on Friday and/or Saturday.

shvictor · 09-26-2009, 12:36 AM

I've been Copenhagen free for 1 month now after 25 plus years. Now its just cigars

Ashcan Bill · 09-26-2009, 01:35 AM

Just cigars now.

Gave up cigs a few years ago. The last time I smoked a pipe must have been back in the mid seventies. Trying a pipe again has crossed my mind on occasion, but I think I'll probably stick to cigars from here on out.

Smoked for 15 years but it was killing me. I stopped 3 years ago. Cigars are damaging also but I average 2 every 3 days rather than sucking 20 or so down in a day. Better for my asthma.

Yeah, it sucks. I bought a bunch, but my B&M still has two cubes in the back room and will sell them to me for $1.99 a pack whenever I want them. Like I said I have one now and then, so I should be good for a while fortunately. But I'll miss them.

I'm still fairly new to cigar smoking and I only do it on the weekends. I love it and am still testing the cigars to find the best.

Finding "the best" is a Quixotic dream, but good luck to you!

first thing I smoked was a cigarette. That was back when I was like 15. I maybe smoked 5 packs of them in my whole life. But I always was interested in cigars. I have tried chew before and had a good experience with it. But I stick with cigars now days and I try to limit myself to no more than 3 cigars a week.

Cigars were harder to get when I wasn't old enough to buy tobacco because I didn't know anyone who smoked em. But It is all I am into now that I am 18.
