This happened to me too, when I was younger. At the time I was a heavy cigarette smoker who finally kicked the habit. Hadn't smoked in over a year when I was offered a cigar. Tried it and next thing you know I was back smoking cigs a pack a day.

Took me another year to quit but now no more cigars and cigs for me. I definitely have an addictive tendency so I have to watch myself.
