Hand rolled cigars.
We all know smoking is unhealthy in any form.

Proud to say I am 1 year 7 months smoke free. I had to figure it out since I don't even consider myself a previous smoker.
It is completely removed from my memory and life.

Congrats on being smoke free for so long! I must say that I have never picked up a cigarette, but from others I know who have smoked, they say it is terribly hard to give up - so BRAVO to you and great capture!

@Mandy: Thank you for your kind comment. I must admit I never tried to quit before but knew someday I would quit. It was time to give it up, very strange how I have no real urges to ever go back. I would always frown at others who had quite for a very long time (2 years) then suddenly go back. I do not want to be one of them. It is very hard for most people, but once you cross over a breaking point it can be done.
You are the smartest to never have turned to the habit. Good for you.

Good for you, Barb - I'm glad you quit.

Let me see, how long has it been for me?
I quit in 1962 - 45 years, 7 months ago - when David was a baby!

cigars are definitely a work of art, yet I have to question whether these are ACTUALLY made in Tampa and w/out a ring...they have got to be Cubans!

Very nice comment Nathan, thank you. Interesting observation about these cigars being without a ring. Years back there were factories of cigar making in Tampa, Florida. Most of it is history but still some are made to this day. Apparently it is illegal to sell or purchase Cuban cigars here in the U.S.
