    Difference:

    Most Cigar Smokers HATE cigarettes. Most cigar smokers DON'T inhale. There are hundreds of thousands of brands, types and makes of cigars. Smoke them for the variety and tastes. Find a few you like and buy a box.

    Pleasure:

    The varying tastes (from coffee to dirt, wood to berries) All are part of the tobacco's natural flavors dependent on where it was grown and in what kind of soil.

    Culture:

    Not always just Posh people or even rich, although plan to spend twice the amount on one cigar as you would for a pack of cigarettes. Some look down on cigar smokers, most just think it is neat because it is out of the ordinary.

    Tips:

    Once you light a cigar, never let it go out and stay cold for more than an hour and then try to relight it. It screws up the flavor.

    Get a butane lighter.

    Get a humidor. cheaphumidors.com has a great selection and even has a free ebook for beginners i suggest going there (I stumbled upon it when I was starting.)

    Hope this helped.

    You don't inhale cigars. I have never smoked anything but cigars so I don't know how they differ than cigs. But cigars do have flavors. Different types of tobacco outter leaf, there are so many combos. But a cigar is like a good wine. They have a taste while you smoke it, bring the smoke into your mouth and then when you exhale and after you should have a nice taste. Most cigar stores on the web will offer you a good discription of the cigar. Try jackie at this address and she can help you. Very nice and treats customers well. The same goes for pipe tobacco. admin@affordablepipes.com

    Those are good answers above, but the big difference is the tobacco.

    Fine cigars use the best tobacco grown in the world specifically for that purpose with an eye to taste and pleasure.

    Cigarettes use the rest of the tobacco, ground up into tiny chunks, including the stems, and are infused with chemical additives to make them more addictive.

    A cigarette is an addiction; a cigar is an occasion.

    Google "cigar smoking" and look at sites such as cigar.com to find out more tips and information.

    Long ashes to you.

    Smoking a cigar is different then smoking a cigarette when smoking a cigar most people dont inhale otherwise you might get a little sick... another reason to smoke cigars is that the taste lingers in your mouth for like a couple hours depending on what kind of cigar you smoke. and cigars are relaxing and very good when playing golf because they keep you calm. but most of all you have to buy a decent cigar you cant just smoke crappy cigars like Black and Milds or Swisher Sweets you have to have like a cuban or my favorite Partagas they are awesome and only cost about $45

    You do not (well most people don't) inhale cigars. The smoke and aroma stays in your mouth. Smoking a cigar is very relaxing. A cuban will just knock you on your butt.

    When it comes to cigars, draw the smoke in with your toungue, and do not inhale. Let the taste and aroma go through your mouth, and then exhale. it can be relaxing with a good dominican cigar.
