The jury is still out on whether cigars boost creativity. However, there are plenty testimonies from people who insist that, while cigars are considered unhealthy by some people, cigar smoking is about more than just smoking.

Cigar aficionados swear that smoking a cigar is an experience that cannot be matched by anything else in this world. While smoking cigarettes is about getting nicotine into your system as fast as possible, smoking cigars is about the experience. Smoking cigars can also help cultivate a smoker’s patience. Unlike cigarettes, a cigar is supposed to be savored and smoked slowly. A good cigar can last up to two hours. During the time that a smoker spends with his cigar, he can meditate, contemplate the meaning of life, come up with a new idea, or relax after a stressful day.
Smoking cigars is also a way for people to build a community. Many cigar smokers do so in the company of friends and since cigars take time to finish, these groups often exchange ideas, or discuss important topics together, which is a great way to pass the time.
Cigar smoking introduces a person to the finer things in life. Unlike cigarettes whose smoke is meant to to be inhaled into the lungs, cigar smoke is savored in the mouth and exhaled either from the mouth or from the nose. Cigar smoking is enjoyed, not because of its nicotine but because of the unique pleasurable experience one derives from every puff.
While many discount cigars due to possible health risks, just as many claim that they have discovered personal benefits from participating in this age-old activity.
