I just added an after junk food dinner item to my NYE menu. I picked up an Arturo Fuente cigar. I only allow myself a few cigars per year, and NYE seems like a good excuse for one.

Does it make your head spin? I can literally salivate thinking about cigars. I just don't go there/do that any more. I was a nicotine addict for so long. One drag and I'd be back on it.

I do get a bit of a buzz, now that I rarely smoke cigars, but not bad. I enjoy a good cigar, but never got "addicted" to them.

My dad quit smoking when he and mum got together but he did have the occasional cigar at Christmas but that stopped a long time ago. The smell takes me back to being a kid at Christmas, warm and happy.

The thing I like about smoking a cigar is that it is a chance for me to sit down, and do absolutely nothing. If I'm smoking with a friend or few, it's a good time to just relax and have a good conversation.

It may not happen tonight, unless it stops raining. I was thinking about sitting by a fire in my backyard fire pit to smoke my cigar, but not looking good for that. I don't smoke in the house -- the smell turns foul overnight, and takes a few days to go away.

I guess I'm lucky. I can smoke a cigar, and go months before I have another. I'm that way with weed, too -- um, I mean WAS like that (I'm a lot more afraid of going to jail then I was in the 70s).

Alcohol had a pretty good grip on me, and I still crave a drink from time-to-time. Alcohol is considered by many experts to be in second place for addictive potential after opioids, like heroin. I can believe that.

Alcohol is easy to be addicted to, you have a bad day, have a drink, have another bad day....and so it goes on.

I smoked since I was 12 or 13, pot with my biker mates every weekend, my best friend had three brothers in a bikie gang. Then I settled down. I don't have an addictive personality but love a drink, but in normal hrs. I worked with an alky, small bottles hidden strategically around bathrooms. I don't start until 8 or 9 at night. My body is pretty good for 63. Nicotine got my mum and nana. Hopefully I will avoid it?

It is already 2021 for some of you?

I finished my last meal of 2020 a short bit ago: ribeye steak, pan fried, with a small bit of salt and fresh ground pepper. Coarsely mashed Yukon gold potatoes (home grown) with apple, nutmeg, provolone and muenster cheese; and salt and pepper. Stir fried cabbage with cayenne.
