Cigarettes are gay and if you’re guy smoking them you are gay. The ettes” in CIGAR-ettes implies their feminine nature. They’re what the women would smoke. If Op is a woman all fine and dandy.
During one of the hurricanes several years back we were without power for a week. Literally the only place in the whole area that managed to keep power was some white trash dive bar called Bare Foot Billy’s. Not my kind of place but it had air conditioning, cold beer and a place I could charge my phone. The cigarette smoke in there was so thick it looked like a foggy morning. As soon as I lit up a Kentucky Fire Cured all the rednecks started crying and moaning while asking who “lit the turd”. I laughed as grown men with their cigarettes got more emotional than a woman on the rag about a little cigar smoke.
