Per Mark Lloyd:
I'm not sure about cigars, but I have been around someone smoking a
pipe, and it's not nearly the nasty thing a cigarette is.

I kind of like the smell of cigar smoke. Doesn't mean I'd want to work
with somebody sucking on a cigar all day - or share an elevator with
one.... but, in an open space, I find the smell mildly pleasant.
