    Started smoking cigarettes in high school because of how freaking cool it made me look (/s) and picked up cigars in college once I had a little spending money and less sense. 16 years later, I've finally been off the cigarettes for a year and a half. That's just to preface saying: I absolutely love the ritual and experience of smoking a cigar or pipe. While the cigarettes were always a quick and dirty thing (at least once I got good and addicted), a pipe or cigar always acts as a way for me to force myself to slow down, disconnect from things I've been worrying about all day/week/whatever and just remember how important it is to sit and think and spend some quality time with myself. Not to say I don't enjoy having a drink and a conversation alongside it, but my good cigar buddy moved on so it's mostly a me thing these days. My wife doesn't exactly love the way it leaves me smelling so I trying to time it when she's busy with other things and I'm due for a shower after anyway.
