Cigars go smokeless, too

Juniper Foo | Jul 17, 2008

Don't stub this out just yet. This faux cigar has been awarded "Most Marketable New Product" at the 2008 Tobacco Plus Expo, and we're just as surprised, given that it's hard to believe cigar-chomping aficionados would willingly trade their Cubans or Coronas for a high-tech cigar. Particularly one that delivers puffs of "flavorful" vapor, devoid of any undertones or body. The Ryuan Vegas Freestyle E-cigar works rather like the e-cigarette by using a microchip, atomizer, airflow sensor and a 16mg nicotine cartridge to mimic the experience of cigar smoking. Who'll buy into this? Probably the posers and quitters, but in a good way since we've only got one set of lungs. Good for 1,800 drags, though one doubts you'll be able to blow smoke rings around this one.
