Why do you recommend to not even puff on a black and mild? Is it personal opinion or a good fact?
Good fact. There was a case study not too long ago:
Cancer linked to Black and Mild cigars
LMMFAO. :laugh:

IMHO let go of the black & mold. They really are more in the cigarette world. A cigar is not ment to be cool or for you to join the crowd. They are more for enjoying with close friends, a compliment to a fine drink or meal and relaxation. You may ask yourself why you want to smoke cigars before you take up the experience. I feel the relaxation I get far outweighs any health issue. Stress will kill me before a cigar. Besides, I'll probably go out sliding sideways at full throttle anyway.
If you say you don't have enough cash for the $44 Acid tin, how much money is "lots of money" to you? No offense, but if you are on a tight budget and worried about inhaling cigars like cigarettes, better to smoke a pipe.
It's pennies per bowl, it has a tip like a black and mild, the aromatics resemble Acids, and you'll looks years more "mature" than your friends.

I used it... Why can't you? I wouldn't be such a dick right now if this wasn't the fourth or fifth time I've tried to remind you to use it. It's simple. Reach that little pinky finger an inch down and hit it while you hit the letter... So simple they're teaching sixth graders the concept....
On the other hand, at least you're using punctuation. Thank God for small miracles...

Youtuber,
I definitely agree with what most have said here. For your health concerns, the key is moderation. For me, I limit myself to once or twice a week. I like it as something of a "reward" for a hard week at work. A way to sit back and forget as many stresses as I can. Preferably with a good friend if possible. I find it very grounding. And when I am done, I really do feel majorly de-stressed. Another point to this is that it is easer on the wallet for me. It enables me to very slowly build a collection of cigars at a pace that I can afford and wont break the bank.
Now, as for the Black and Mild... I would suggest as many here have - start with something good. A Black and Mild will not give you an impression of what smoking a cigar is like.
I suppose a lot of this does depend on what you want to get out of smoking cigars. Yes, there is a health risk involved. For me, smoking a good gar is a way to stop and enjoy life. A time to just be a guy.

Just to chime in on the question of nicotine addiction. Much depends on how often you smoke, what you smoke, how you smoke it, and your physical susceptiblity to it. Even if you don't directly inhale, you will still inhale some of your own smoke. Even if you managed to avoid doing that, you would still absorb some nicotine through the mucous membranes in your mouth.
I don't think nicotine addiction is a problem for most of us. It isn't for me, anyway. I was heavily addicted to cigarettes for several years but now, I smoke up 2-to-5 cigars (medium to full-bodied) per week in the summer and drop down to 1 per week in the winter (often skipping a week) with no withdrawal pangs whatsoever.
