Want a cigar, can't have a cigar. What do you do instead?

I want a cigar. Actually I want about five of them all in a row. I can not have any cigars because I'm scheduled for some serious deer hunting and need to avoid strong smells. I have a few too many friends and neighbors who aren't leaving their houses to work or anything else, because people in my neighborhood are being tackled to the ground - including children - for having the wrong color skin. Not cool. I can't do a thing about that part, but my plan is to fill the rest of my deer tags and give them all the meat so at least their holidays don't completely suck. Did it before during Covid, fixing to do it again till season's over or I put my legal limit on the ground. Until that's done, no tobacco, no scented detergents or soaps of any kind. Sneaking up on deer with a bow isn't quite as easy as it sounds and going scentless is part of the regimen.

What do you all do when you want a cigar but can't have one for awhile? Any good substitutions or distractions that work for you?
