Once in a great while I get to enjoy a cigar, maybe three or four in a good year. Not an expert by any stretch, but I actually prefer my smokes from the Dominican Republic over Cuba or anything else. Just a flavor preference really. Aside from that I do not smoke. I have had cigarettes a few times while drinking heavily, but I do not drink heavily anymore, as I can no longer endure the price of the hangover. Believe me they get worse as you get older.
