I've recently rediscovered tobacco as the awesome nootropic and recreational drug in one that it is, and cigars as the ideal form to avoid losing the benfits of this great plant to habituation and addiction. My grandfather used to smoke cigars. I love the smell of a cigar, the taste of the smoke, and for the first time in my life, I have the urge to smoke indoors, in comfort, while listening to music or reading a book...
With that comes the issue of room smells. Good cigars smell real nice when I'm smoking them. The issue comes in a few hours, when the room starts to smell stale, like a sleazy bar. I'd like to ask seasoned cigar smokers if there is any way to handle this problem. (Getting rid of all the ashes and the stub immediately after smoking might be a good idea, but it's not a 100% solution...)
I really don't mind the *nice* tobacco smell. I don't want to stink my apartment up with floral aerosols that make everything smell like a gas station bathroom. I tend to use incense regularly, so some kind of smoke smell is well within expectations and tolerance. I just wonder about the chemistry and the practicalities of how the nice, leathery, cedary cigar smoke turns into that bitter, stale, vomity bar smell overnight, and how (and if) I can get one without the other.
Of course, as a last resort, there's smoking outdoors. It would be a pity, a Romeo y Julieta no.2 or an Oliva V isn't something I'd smoke casually while out walking the dog or running errands. I guess going out for a meditative walk in the woods and smoking there might be nice...
