 Nicotine is very mentally stimulating. It improves memory, cognitive function, reaction time and attention. That along with the taste of good tobacco on top of the relaxation of appealing to oral fixations make cigars a great addition to any complex conversation. 

Alcohol improves social interaction, and can reduce stress. It also improves mood and creativity.
