Up in Smoke

There's a smoke shop on our main downtown street and next door is a specialty cigar shop which carries a large variety of cigars like Acid cigars, quite fitting isn't it? Whenever we go for a stroll we pass by men sitting outside enjoying their smoke and it kind of makes me wonder. What is it about cigars that have a semi comforting smell? I don't mean the smoke itself but the smell of an untouched cigar always feels rather warm and homey doesn't it? I've never smoked one and really don't understand why people who don't smoke cigarettes all of a sudden decide to smoke a cigar but I guess it's the same as those that only drink beer or eat only a certain form of chicken or something. Maybe the smell is a reminder for some of us from a past life or something? LOL
