Best Answer

You shouldn't inhale cigars because they are high in alkaline and high in nicotine, and inhaling will make you cough. You can enjoy the flavor of a cigar without inhaling because the nicotine is absorbed by the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth. (Cigarette smoke being acid, it is almost exclusively absorbed in the lungs.)

So the smoke does not go into your lungs and so you can get a better taste. It's like wine tasting.

How many cigarettes 1 typical cigar?

There really isn't an equivalency because of the way they're smoked. When you smoke cigarettes you inhale, so you get all the good carbon monoxide and other fun chemicals in your lungs, and into your blood. Plus, cigarette smoke is acidic and it seems that pH affects the addictive quality of nicotine.


Why aren't cigars addictive?

It's the pH of the smoke. Nicotine is addictive if it enters your body in an acidic carrier. Cigarette smoke is acidic, so its nicotine is addictive. (The acidity also prevents the nicotine from being absorbed through the walls of your mouth, so you need to inhale cigarette smoke to get the effect.) Cigar smoke is alkaline, so it can enter your body through the walls in your mouth and it's not addictive. There's also the part about cigars being so expensive you can't afford to get addicted to them, but that's a side issue. - - - - - I may be wrong here, but as far as I know, you aren't supposed to inhale cigars like you are with cigarettes. And then you won't inhale the nicotine either.


Will a costarican cigar make you fail a drug test?

If they're looking for Cotinine--IOW if they want to see if you smoke tobacco--a Costa Rican cigar, or any other cigar, will make you fail. If they are NOT testing for cotinine you can smoke all the Costa Rican cigars you want. And since they're supposed to be excellent cigars, if you can find any go for it.
