Personally, I like a good cigar every once in a while.
 
I tried one once and didn't like it...
 
I know people who smoke frequently and manage never to smell like smoke, and I've also encountered people who smoke frequently and have smelly clothes and breath that would make the Grinch turn another shade of green. The first one I can deal with, the second kind is quite unpleasant!

So do I, It is one vice I do partake of. That being said I would welcome the chance to discuss a car purchase over a good cigar.
 
Now I want a cigar.

There is such a thing as a "good" cigar?
 
I've tried several times but have yet to find one that didn't gag me.
 
Now, Woodford Reserve? That is a different story.
 
But then I can't stand venison either and I don't care who shot it, what it's been eating, how aged it was etc...

Maybe you should go see a nice salesman and let him know what he has to do to put you in one of his top of the line models.
 
See if that works.

Ok, I'll go see Isell. I have a couple of really good cigars, we can have them as we discuss a car deal.

That's a good idea, then you can tell us how this guy really operates.
 
I don't know if I should be wishing you good luck or bad luck.
  
If we see you posting over at "Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous" we'll know what happened.

Maybe I'll like my next cigar and get hooked on them?
 
I'm glad I didn't like cigarettes either!

isell....bad (cheap) cigars have fillers. A good one is as smooth as a good merlot. I know people that have sipped my Woodford and I thought they were going to barf. I may have a cigar once or twice/week, or so (usually on weekends). Some of my cigar loving friends make fun of me, but I can only smoke about 1/2 of one at a time. That's about as much as I can take.
 
Back to Sales.....bigveedub...of all the female sales people I've had (all of two), they are more concerned with their appearance than any "male" sales people I've had. I mean that in a good way. In general, they've been more professional in their appearance and their actions (sorry Craig). I know I'm making generalizations, but it's just what I've observed. BTW....us males don't mind the crow's feet, as long as the eyes are sincere and the smile is genuine.

Well next time you're in my neck of the woods I'll take you to a good place to enjoy a good cigar. A good cigar, unlike a cigarette, is smooth and mellow. And unlike a cigarette they are pure tobacco, no fillers or additives.
 
Now back to your regularly scheduled rants

I sincerely hope not. I have seen some cancers of the oral cavity caused by cigar/pipe smoking and when the surgeon has no option but to remove parts of the mouth or the tongue, it is not a pretty sight.
