About 6 years ago I quit smoking and about that same time I started exploring wine. I wasn't very excited about wine at first but as time went on and I started to get my taste buds back, the wine got better and better. I even dabbled in making my own wine. I lasted for about 7 months and started smoking again. I still drink wine but it doesn't taste like I know it should. I have vowed to stop smoking again after Thanksgining. If you smoke cigarettes you are missing the REAL taste of wine. "LETS QUIT"

I second that huzzah! The wine will taste better and so will your leftover turkey sandwiches! And it will give those near and dear to you something extra to be "Thankful" for! (For a real treat, if the budget allows, take all your clothes to the laundry and have your carpets, drapes & sofa steam cleaned -- speaking from experience, your surroundings will be as improved as the wine!)

Me too...Pass me my Partagas 150 will you??
I love cigars with or without wine and my humidor is always full as are my taste buds!
I never smoke in the house though!

Light one for me, Drew. I love a good cigar on occasion, but never with wine. I prefer a VSOP Cognac or a Barrel Select Whiskey, a roaring fire, a cool night, a photo of WW pinned on the dartboard..... ;-)
