Tried it about 2-3 times in the Marines. Meh.
Now, many, many years later I smoke cigars. Living in a northeast makes that a spring/summer activity. Cigars paired with strong coffee or a drink/whiskey makes for a splendid afternoon/evening.
I'm closing in on retirement/moving south this year. I fully expect my cigar habit to increase exponentially. Probably will be coincide with my pool/beach time.
