Shorting Cigars

Maybe the people I know are just health nuts or something, but I can't think of one person I hang out with on a regular basis who is a daily smoker of cigarettes or cigars. I think it might be a Florida thing, because when I go out of town, I feel like smokers are everywhere. Now if you're talking about weed, you can't walk ten feet in Florida without catching a whiff from someone nearby. :D

LOL, My experience has been completely diffferent in FLA regarding the popularity of cigars in FL. It is probably the state with the most high end cigar bars and club-- maybe even worldwide. Not to mention the huge cuban influence in Miami. Cigars are everywhere, heck there are even hot girls on south beach who carry a tray of cigars etc up and down the sand and street selling them person to person. I have never seen so many cigar smokers as I have met in Florida and I was into the scene a little in NYC.

Certainly, most people who frequent these establishments don't smoke every day or even weekly, but several cigars per month.

It still remains a huge business here-- I think Orlando has several huge establishments dedicated to cigars.

Obviously, I know its bad for your health-- but it can be good for mental health as far as relaxations go--- Back when I was a member of Grand havana at 666 Fifth ave penthouse in NYC we held the surf fest there-- believe it or not with a good ventilation system its tolerable even for non-smokers.

I have cut way back but still enjoy a cigar or two monthly depending on my mood.

What I do think will put a major hurt in the cigar biz is vaping. I just got back from Boca Raton and counted 6 different Vaping franchised shops within a 5 mile area. It must be HUGE. Not sure what the health ramifications of vaping is but its certainly better than the analog alternative--- I think. Maybe someone can enlighten me. thanks! surf
