I would always bust out the cigar for the special occasions (weddings, engagements, etc etc) but since quitting smoking a year ago I haven't had one since. I got no problem with people busting them out and I have always seen them as a way to celebrate something big (you don't bust them out for your birthday every year). Although I do have to say not a big fan of all those vanilla and different flavoured ones, They are cheap and if its an occasion that deserves a cigar you shouldn't be going that cheap.
