I tried a cigar for the first time today!
(lemmy.zip)
Did it taste like burnt hair?
Just FYI, smoking can lessen the effects of hormone therapy
I'm on injections, so that shouldn't be a problem :)
(Plus it's only this one time. I hate nicotine but wanted to say that I smoked a cigar at least once in my life lol)
They say the best way not to get addicted is to never start, but for me the experience of smoking a cigar was so bad that I never wanted to smoke again. Worst thing I ever put in my mouth.
yeah same here. i remember some dude offered me a single joint of weed (or idk what exactly it was, it smoked, anyway) and that was bad enough of an experience that i made a wiiide distance around anything that smokes afterwards.
As a smoker I've never really understood the whole cigar thing.
I've tried a few over my life so far, apparently 1 was very good quality and expensive af, and just like with wines, I couldn't tell the difference between a good one and a bad one lol
How'd you like it?
Ehh. Nicotine isn't my drug of choice. It was a neat experience though
I tried a cigarette sized one once and that was enough to put me off for life. I imagine those big ones are worse, you have my respect.
Enjoy your diarrhea... 😓
You’re not supposed to eat it!
I didn't.. and yet, each time I smoked a cigar there were horrible consequences
Sigmund Freud said "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar".
