I recall about 15 years ago, I had a semi heated discussion with my cousin about cigars. I maintained that there would be nothing wrong with having cigars just for the smell, never lighting them, or lighting them and letting them burn while you're not around. Some have a very pleasant smell. He maintained that this would be wrong because it might stumble the person whom you buy the cigars from or anyone who might happen to see them.
I was pondering this exchange a few days ago, and came to the conclusion that it was a very petty subject that should never have warranted serious consideration. Thoughts?
