Any vapers still enjoy the occasional cigar?

Huge cigar fan myself. I actually put them down to start vaping. I smoked about 2 to 3 sticks a day. I have found some juices from MyVapeJuice.com that offers some cigar flavored naturally extracted tobacco vapes. The Gurkha Legend and Garo Double Habano juices were nice, but if you are an avid enjoyer of stogies you'll probably want to add an extra flavor shot. The vape still does not offer an authentic retrohale flavor, but the inhale/exhale is nice. Little weird tasting these flavors as "cold" vapor, and I am awaiting my RDA before giving them my final opinion but it might suffice for your desires. I believe they offer an extract that is based on a black and mild.

So far, just using a 1.8ohm Innokin iClear30S, the flavor is there, but much cleaner than an actual stick. It feels like its missing some of the bottom end, but I have been enjoying them for the most part.

When I first met my husband, he worked in a cigar store at the time. His best friend owns it. They are both cigar connoisseurs of sorts.

I LOVE CAO's La Traviata series. And also love Baccarat's The Game Double Corona's. I never got into cigars as a habit, just he would bring me some small CAO's from time to time and I always would take a few puffs of whatever he was smoking. And wow...it's amazing what a cigar does when you are drinking a glass of red wine.

I've avoided cigars since putting down cigs and switching to vaping, just because I don't want the cigars to make me want cigs again. I think it's all good now since I love vaping and don't really miss my cigs, but still........that puff from a cigar might just tell my brain that it misses tobacco.

I still love when he gets home from hanging at the cigar store. He smells soooo good. One day...

I never really cared for them myself. The funny thing is, I went to a local B&M the other day to try some juices, their test equipment was crap, but I bought some Indigo OOHRAH! mainly because it tasted better than anything else I tried. Got home and tried it taste exactly like a Swisher Sweet to me. It's actually growing on me, I my have to try some of their other juices.

I may never quit. Although since moving from Chicago and then to D.C. for a half year I have all but given up now that I'm in Cali. Out here they are about 50 to 70% more costly and usually 50/50 whether or not I will get a properly maintained one. I basically switched over to pipe smoking a few times a week to satisfy. Now I have a EVOD starter kit and am awaiting my first selections of juice. Cigars will be reserved for holidays and special occasion days. Because I am a heavy puffer half of my pipes are probably damaged from lack of allowing a good layer of cake to develop and smoking them too hot. I have not smoked cigs regularly since High School.

Strangely I wasn't a stogie smoker (maybe smoked a dozen in 30 years of cigarette smoking) but now my favorite vape is Cuban Cigar. I make my own NET from real Cuban seed leaf, add a minute bit of TFA Tobacco Absolute and usually drizzle Cherry on top when I drip.

I strongly recommend that, if you were a cigar smoker, get into DIY and NETs and enjoy all the special flavors you assumed you would miss when switching to vaping.
