Anyone done some hard research into cigars and neruroanomy/neuroscience/psychology/associative psychology?
interested in links or what you know...

Oh, and after I'm done smoking, the cigar nub smells like my beard.

Freud:

Oral Stage (Birth to 18 months). During the oral stage, the child if focused on oral pleasures (sucking). Too much or too little gratification can result in an Oral Fixation or Oral Personality which is evidenced by a preoccupation with oral activities. This type of personality may have a stronger tendency to smoke, drink alcohol, over eat, or bite his or her nails. Personality wise, these individuals may become overly dependent upon others, gullible, and perpetual followers. On the other hand, they may also fight these urges and develop pessimism and aggression toward others.

Not sure if this is what you are hunting for, but then again everything can be considered "Freudian"

Or if you're like me, you'll take it with a grain of salt

I've heard the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Thankfully, I don't have a problem. I'll just smoke more.

his ideas are all based on only the sick people he saw (he never formed any theories based on healthy people.)

betasynn:

Freud is no longer considered relevant in terms of his literal doctrine. There is probably no such thing as Freudian Psychologist anymore, since his ideas are all based on only the sick people he saw (he never formed any theories based on healthy people.) He also used no empirical data, and his theories were developed without any way to test them. He needs to be respected for inventing psychology. Also, he was rocking the ganja pretty hard.
