Stop at a cigar lounge! The smell of a well maintained walk in humidor is an experience itself.

In the US where I'm at, it's very much not a pretentious luxury thing. Mainly working class guys at the lounge. But we also have access to cheaper cigars than a lot of places so long as they aren't Cuban.

If you're really worried about the smell on your clothes, congrats. You're now cool enough for a smoking jacket.

I'll maybe do that for the sake of experience. I've been curious about this craft ever since I saw this cool guy rolling a cigar on YouTube. I've researched it quite a lot actually with the shapes, taste notes, and it seems like a great hobby for discovering new things.

There are better hobbies. Cigars aren't the worst thing, but they're not great. You do you though, but don't get drawn in just by some YouTube videos. It's mostly a social thing, like drinking usually is. Don't do it just because you think cigars are cool.
