Women and cigars...

While it may be more common to think of a man smoking a cigar, women in history (some say going back as far as Catherine the Great) have smoked cigars. In 2008 it was estimated by the Cigar Association that a half a million women in the world smoke cigars. It may surprise you to learn I have not, despite the years I smoked cigarettes, I've never tried a cigar. Since the whole smoking concept of a cigar is different than a cigarette, most say do not inhale cigar smoke (though I know some disagree) but that's not even a controversy when it comes to cigarettes, it's pretty much a given that you inhale. Which for me, I'd have to stop the reflex behavior of years of inhaling...
