Terminology

[Hambo]

I have a question on terminology. Lay people use the word "Stogie" and Cigar interchangeably. However, in the blogs and forums that I have started reading lately, nobody refers to them as stogies. Is this taboo and are they truly interchangeable?

P.S. GO PISTONS

 

[N2Advnture]

The term stogie refers to a cheap cigar (ie subpar caliber), maybe that's why. (See also stogy)

 

[Jwrussell]

Always just figured it was a slang term. Don't know why it isn't used much in the 'gar community.

 

[The Prince]

Use whatever you like. They are interchangable.

i agree with n2adventure.
i call some of my cigars 'stogies' from time to time (but they're normally cheap yard gars).

 

[shaffej3]

I have called them all kinds of things. I don't think it matters what you call them. Atleast not to me. I have even heard people call cigarettes stogie's. LOL

Were not real big on proper terminology here Hambo.

I do understand though.

 

[Jwrussell]

Yeah, Hambo. You don't want to know what Todd calls them!

I like to call them my "tubular tobacco stickages".

Stress relief/blood pressure reduction devices.
At least that's what I put on my taxes when I write them off

[Wasch_24]

Yeah, Hambo. You don't want to know what Todd calls them!

Please enlighten us JW? :hysterica

 

[Jwrussell]
