Are cigarillos good? For casual Al fresco smoking with beer in a sunwashed town square in the south of France, I mean. I'll be there in 3 weeks time, and cafe crème or davidoff minis might work.

I'm off the vape and fags, but want to achieve a state of grace

Crashed out on this one. Cigars are not for me, and I'm glad.
To test the waters before my South of France sojourn, I bought 10 Neos Cappucino cigarillos from a very well stocked tobacconist in town (Paragas ✅, Montecristo ✅, Romeo y Julieta ✅, Davidoff ✅). They are this wan Scottish smoke reviewer’s favorite everyday smoke. So I blazed on up at a nearby pub with a Guinness. Fucking vile, toxic, and acrid, a thoroughly and irredeemably execrable experience.

Once the plastic warehouse after a fire taste had subsided, some 7 or 8 hours later, I had a second one by the pond in the garden. No better. Stamped it out after an inch, then scrunched and binned the rest.

Cigars are a psyop. I'd rather vape mango bongo than spark another up.

The problem is, the flavour is always 99% combustion products, tars, and carbon, maybe 1% ghost of a hint of bonfire hiding a coffee tin.

I spent an evening smoking fine cigars at a hotel years ago, Spanish-owned place in Regents Park. Mostly inhaling, and kind of enjoying it. But not enought to ever repeat the experience. I've been spoilt by vapes, probably.

it might be one of those things where if your not an Alpha the experience will overpower you.. maybe you have to be Alpha to be the |Master of the experience. theyre not for everyone.

its good that you tried and can take some learnings away from the experience. you can enjoy your holiday without cigars.

It was also another lesson in the irresistible power and sneaky subconscious machinations of nicotine addiction, and its stages.

1. It's good to drink in the sunshine with friends
2. Only known way to improve that? Smoking!
3. Don't want to smoke fags though
4. Cigars! Little ones. Why not, I'll buy some when I get there in 3 weeks' time and not smoke after
5. Why not try some out before I go?
6. Why not buy some today! Right now!

its funny how it can lie dormant for very long times before ambushing you again. its clever like that.
