I'll say a hobby and an indulgence.
Although I'm not good at describing them, I like trying different smokes to see how they taste. How many shifts can I detect. And this is usually done best for me when alone.
An indulgence because as we all know, it's not the cheapest hobby around.
I also like the social aspect of smoking cigars. I've met all types since smoking cigars. Regulars guys like myself as well as CEO's, professional athletes, entertainers and just good people from all walks of life.
And I've had the pleasure of dealing with you Bums! I've never really done this forum thing before smoking cigars.
