How I gave up smoking and why I took it up again

It's so relaxing where literally nothing else in the world matters. Not the mortgage, not the medical bills, not the stress at work; those are all the furthest thing from the experience and I've yet to find any other hobby that can duplicate that.

When I used to shoot clays weekly it was like that for me. When you focus and get ready to call pull, nothing else exists in the world except you, your shotgun and the little orange disc about to fly out.

Totally understand. The closest I've found to a cigar is baking; just working with the dough was truly enjoyable. Just different than a cigar, but still a certain level of serenity. I no longer bake unfortunately but the parallel isn't lost.
