I don't smoke cigarettes or pipes, but at least with cigars, it's
very easy to get into. You're tasting the smoke in this case, not inhaling it. You'll still get something of a buzz, since there are looooots of entry points into the bloodstream in the mouth, but even for someone like me who's a gigantic baby when it comes to inhaling smoke, it's easy-breezy to enjoy a cigar.
If you like smoked food, you'll love the taste of smoking. Though, I highly recommend limiting it to serious celebrations, for obvious reasons. I generally only have them at weddings.
