"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Old Paco smoked cigars - cheap stuff, mainly Dutch Masters - and I loved the aroma. I snatched one when I was six years old and walked w-a-y to the back of the neighborhood which was still undeveloped and smoked it. I kind of liked it, but I figured I could take it or leave it. And I did leave it, for about 12 years. When I graduated from high school, I began smoking high-quality cigars. I always inhaled them - breathing the smoke up into my nose and then blowing it out through my mouth. Years later, when cigars became a "thing", and dilettantes drove the prices up, I switched to American Spirit cigarettes. I quit smoking altogether almost seven years ago.
"French inhaling" is what I did; suck some smoke into your mouth, then let it out slowly and breathe it into your nose. You still get some in your lungs, though not so much.
I don't inhale and I enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI know, girly man.

DeleteI misunderstood, I thought you meant into your lungs.
ReplyDeleteI often inhale into my mouth and out my nose but never into my lungs.

DeleteSo..... You French cigars?
DeleteNot that there's anything wrong with that.
Er, no. It's just the expression used to describe the process - the unfortunate expression used to describe the process.
DeleteAt least I didn't use the Bill Clinton joke.
ReplyDeleteMy only experience with smoking was with a cigar. I thought you were supposed to inhale it, so I tried that, and thought I was gonna die.
ReplyDeleteNever had any interest in trying that again.
