Many women are boldly taking a place beside men in cigar bars, lounges, and board rooms across the world and participating in the ritual of cutting, licking, and lighting their own cigars. Women consume huge numbers of cigars and are a valuable part of the cigar community. Although still a minority women cigar smokers are on the rise perhaps to capture what men always considered a traditional symbol of success, celebration and achievement. These rituals of elegance and sophistication, of good fellowship and camaraderie women appreciate. The marketing for the cigar industry must appeal to the consideration of women cigar smokers because a women smoking a cigar is something to admire. (photo by nyc870 on photobucket)
