I don't.. it was happening at an after-party one night, moderation of fun kind of thing
Gotcha. I like trying to connect people via shared interests. 😁
I would try this coffee though!
Duchess is a very good source of many things people might associate with "the good life."

It was a fun one
Want to write a review about for the next zap.cooking newsletter?
You want me to read your letter and write a review? I’m happy to do that for you.
I meant write about the cigar coffee. 😀
Oh sure I can. Would you mind sending me other posts so I generally know what to write like how long, is it more informative or more like a story?
did you see our first newsletter? It can be a paragraph with a nice photo or if you want it to be a blurb linking to your own long format coffee review article. Hold on...let me tag you
I used to work for a private social club and we had a designated cigar room and I liked the smell. I don't understand not inhaling but the cigar in Riga was pretty tasty. I tried giving it away after a few puffs though. lol
Interesting! I admit to liking the smell of some pipe tobacco. I've never found the idea of smoking appealing. Granted, I seem to be pretty sensitive to stimulants, so I'm not sure nicotine would be a good habit for me to pick up.
Ooh yes pipe tobacco too. I loved cigarettes. But too much. Thankfully I am finally over that habit. It was fun for the first cigarette, but the cravings were ridiculous. Getting antsy and angry when you can't have one, fighting these nasty emotions, all you can think about. Super ridiculous.
I've seen so many struggle with nicotine. It can be really rough. 🫂
Yeah me too. Ugh, and the cost. I was smoking a pack a day, thats a brand new car. Lol
Yeah, at the crazy prices with all the sin tax on top. 😠
I was paying $15 per day at one point. That's $450 a month. Then Starbucks too... Shut the front door. Lol I quit and limited my Starbucks... Got a car instead.
I could never afford to smoke... 😅 Wow! But very good for you to quit both of those!
It's weird how you can afford addictions but now I'm like can I pay my bills? (I'm very responsible btw, just saying )
Yes especially from cigarettes. But I don’t feel a craving for cigars, however I usually smoke the small ones.
Unlike cigarettes, cigars are enjoyed primarily for their flavor. The rich taste of a cigar comes from the blend of different tobaccos, which is best experienced by holding the smoke in your mouth, where your taste buds can fully appreciate it. Inhaling isn’t necessary and actually makes the experience less enjoyable because cigar smoke is much stronger and can be harsh on your lungs. Aside from the taste, another reason people enjoy smoking cigars is because they offer a slower, more natural release of nicotine compared to cigarettes or other forms of tobacco. Nicotine, in small doses, can have some positive effects, like improving focus and mental sharpness, also stimulates certain receptors in the brain that can support heart health.
