I recently started smoking cigars a few months ago and I have found them very enjoyable, I smoke about 1 or 2 per day and I usually pair it with a little bit of rum or whiskey.
I've found a few threads on the forum (although not many) talking about the benefits of tobacco and I would love to open a discussion on the general benefits of Cigar smoking specifically.
From what I have gleamed as the major downsides appears to be cancer obviously but there are studies that seem to indicate that moderate smoking i.e. no more than 2 cigars a day have virtually no adverse negative affect and may indeed have a great deal of benefits.

I personally have found the one or two cigars I smoke a day incredibly relaxing. I believe that there are studies that show they can boost testosterone and DHT but it is not just from the Nicotine. There are thousands of chemicals in cigars that likely have many different beneficial effects.
Anyone who has any studies or anecdotal experiences they can share please do.
Also any recommendations as to what cigars to buy for an amateur cigar smoker living in Europe. I live in the Canary Islands and found some very nice cigars from the island of La Palma which is apparently one of the first places that mass produced tobacco after they were brought back to Europe by Colombus. Also it is the origin of the Cuban Cigar, the first cuban cigar factories and farmers were people who emigrated from this tiny volcanic island.
