I enjoy my cigars as well. You don't inhale, doesn't hurt your conditioning at all. Enjoy gentlemen

There's a difference doing it before or after a game than during a game at halftime like in the 70's. Also I'm pretty sure before the season players would drink and smoke in the 70's as well as during games.
