Pretty much any book I've read that was an early children's book describes cigars that way .
I was going to say I'm familiar with that trope.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.
'Not Fade Away'
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Um. My apartment has no water. I guess that's what that work crew on the corner was all about. Hopefully it will be fixed by my morning shower!

You think they'll fix it between now and morning? I wouldn't bet your pension on that.

Yeah, but I don't think it'd be an overnight priority for them. Not usually an around-the-clock emergency fix.

Heck, I remember an X-Men comic book issue where Kitty Pryde grabs one of Wolverine's cigars and nearly gets sick. Wolvie just smirks and pats her back and says, "I have a mutant healing factor, remember?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She probably inhaled a lot more heartily than most cigar smokers do.
I think I smoked about a pack of cigarettes when I was in single digits, just to see what was the what. Never cottoned to it. But I did have a spell of a couple years of cigar smoking. Petered out the harder it got to find places to smoke. Not like I was going to do it in my apartment or car or anything.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Water-ma, omnis.
I have gotten sick from the second hand smoke of a cigar, so I would think their effect could be very strong on a child.
I fell asleep shortly after getting home from Easter dinner, and now my body thinks it's morning.

Yay water and debt-free! Yay putting out!
ita, I hope you'll find a better drug, even if it means no one will be here to talk with me in the hours I'm awake in.
And yay F2F goers. Take a lot of pictures for me, will ya?
