Backwoods Wild Rum are what I smoke when I mow the lawn or work in the shop. Don't chew, never have never will. Have friends that chew though. Their teeth and gums are nasty and they leave their spit cans all over the place.

I smoked Salem Lights for years, until I started working in a foundry for my town job. Decided that breathing in the fumes from molten iron was doing enough damage to my lungs, so I did'nt need to help it along by smoking cigarettes. Now I belong to a "cigar club" and get a box of them sent to me every six weeks or so. The smoke of the month is called "Iguana". Light green wrapper, not too big around, has a hint of vanilla taste. Pretty good, really. I usually smoke one in the evenings.
I chewed Copenhagen for awhile in high school, during baseball season. Never did really care for it, though, and gave it up after awhile. Started smoking cigarettes about the same time, though.

I never tried chew cause a lot of guys i hung around with chewed and i thought it was nasty. started smokin ciggarettes around 17/18 yrs old, marlboro #27's and somtimes ultra lights, i decided that having almost every relative die from either lung cancer or heart disease pretty much convinced me to cut back substantially. but i sneak one once in a while lol. havent bought a pack in months though. my dad still smokes, he likes KOOL menthol.... yuck!!!!

I started chewing to stay awake on my 2 1/2hr drive back and fourth from my dads ranch to my mom's house and while bailin hay. Its hard to stay awake with only 4-5 hrs of sleep a nite while puttin in a 10hr day. i guess i switch it up after each can. Copenhagen then Skool then Redman. I'll stop when i dont have to drive back and fourth.
Smokin makes me sick so i dont do it. but a puff off a cigar at parties isnt so bad.

I started with Skoal which I purchaced as a young lad for .32 cents a can, in 1981 I switched to Copenhagen, to which I continued until last year. I cannot tell a story of ill health or advise to quit I had just 3 simple reasons why: $5.38 a can! Also I run out last fall on a Sunday and went into Chug to get a can only to find out the truck had not come so they were out, I did not like what was going through my mind and the free cheap stuff they gave me to settle my nerves did little to help, On the way back to the ranch I remembered something else as a couple of years back I was at a event that had a Copenhagen-Skoal tent there and when I went in to get a free can, for some reason I could not get it out of my mind that the girls who were about 21-22 with temp Copenhagen tatoo's and not much else on did not strike me as being chewer's ( a chewer can pick out another a mile away) also the gent's behind the counter handing out the free stuff gave me the same feeling, after two years I never got over that.

I had a couple of those once, not bad, but again...dried out. I'd like to try a cognac flavored one that wasn't dried out.
BTW FarmForward I've had those Iguanas before. Candela wrappers, not bad.
I don't really smoke cigars on a regular basis, I like to have one or two when I'm working on my car or just wandering around outside (although every now and then I'll get a craving for one). Usually only smoke maybe 3-4 times a week during nice weather, very little during the winter since I generally don't feel like hanging around outside for 20-30 min to finish a cigar
