Cigar Smoking

Jazz,
 
You can try to find some more brand specific information online but all cigars still contain tobacco so it would be risky to try and smoke anything. How about some campfire music instead?

Hi Breanne.  Does that apply to all cigars or just the big unfiltered stogies?  Mr. J. and I were told that the Colts Mild are OK.  We haven't tried one yet (not a puff of anything since Jan 2!!), but it sure is tempting when we go camping.

Members,

Think smoking a cigar won’t hurt? Think again!

Did you know cigars contain many of the same poisonous cancer causing chemicals found in cigarettes?

What’s more is you are putting yourself at higher risk for cancers of the mouth, esophagus and larynx. (4 to 10 times more likely to be exact.)

You are also 4 times more likely to be affected with COPD or emphysema.

Not worth it, right?
