That's a large part of the reason why I go out of my way to ensure that my cigar smoke doesn't affect my neighbours. I suspect that cigar smoke probably smells just as disgusting to them as cigarette does to me (I know my wife hates the smell of it) so I try to be as considerate as possible.

I have noticed also that cigarettes smell gross but to me cigars don't smell as bad. it seems the cigarette smoke tends to linger and really get into things and just fester.
