Why did people go from cigars to cigs?
Cigars, I hypothesize, got tied to hard liquor and the coolness of it because they only go in the mouth, stimulating taste buds or something, making the brandy more interesting. That's just a wild guess though. This would also explain why one would smoke one after dinner.

I perfer a good cigar after a meal about twice a year, it is relaxing and a nice way to top off
Prsonally I punch my cigars now as oppose to clipping, makes a big difference
Cig are just the cheaper and quicker way to get your tobacco hit
