This started out as a response to another thread. It came to mind when writing about how I've changed since I started smoking cigars. When realizing how it brings the good out of me, a calm and patient person.
We now live in a time where some blokes smoking a cigar are, not only seen as an unusual sight, but frowned upon, while beeing asked to "put that smelly thing out." This has happened to me in the smoker's area of various places, and have been asked this by cigarette smokers. But it wasn't always like this. Once people like us could sit back and relax after a good meal and light up a cigar, pairing it with a neat cognac, whilst sharing the expirience with good company. When fellow BOTLs weren't viewed as inconsiderate, but as a refined person with good taste. Someone who cared for the taste the smoke gave, who cared about the finner things in life. It also talks about a person who knows how to give himself/herself time. Someone who can pause his/her day in order to appreciate a good time for himself/herself. Someone that is always learning new aspects of his/her hobby; his/her passion, always willing to learn more, to try new stuff. I smoke cigars because I love the taste it gives. I smoke cigars because I like what it brings out of me. I smoke cigars because, why not? Why do ye smoke for?
