clint Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I was just sitting here thinking about how bad my eyesight is getting and got to considering how much the visual contributes to my enjoyment of smoking a cigar. I came to the surprising realization that if I was to totally lose my sight that I probably wouldn't enjoy cigars enough to continue the past time. Seems crazy but I guess I just didn't understand how much my sense of sight contributes to my cigar enjoyment. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshot Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Yes totally agree. If took out the visual there would be less enjoyment. I'd be at a loss if I lost any of it really. Vision, Touch, Smell, Taste. They all work together to give a glorious experience of cigar smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InCheTasteWeTrust Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 If I wake up to be Ray Charles, I'd ask if the wrapper is uniform in color. Then I'll touch it and I'll feel if it's oily. I'm sure I'll cut it right then I'll beg anyone to light it for me so I cannot add to my misery by burning my fingers. The enjoyment will be bigger as I'll be a depressed because of blindness and that cigar will be a relieve from it. If I only lose a bit of sight, then I won't to have to worry about the authencity of the band or the wrapper will look smooth with no veins anyway I'll keep smoking. Might even enjoy fakes aswell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliano88 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I believe the visual aspect is very important. There is a joy of looking at a well fermented, oily wrapper leaf and seeing a halfwheel within a cabinet of 50. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more thinking about the actual smoking part, if you couldn't see the smoke coming off the cigar or out of your mouth on the exhale how much would that take away from the enjoyment? Guess I could smoke one with a blindfold on and find out but I don't think I care that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe to see if the cigar is burning well and there is no wrapper breakage, but I'm with you, I don't care much of the visual aspect when smoking.

therealrsr Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hopefully the uptick in other senses that often comes with losing one will make it worthwhile to continue, but I get the point. Interesting question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
