A magical experience. You got the right swirls.

Nice capture! I heard it was hard to shoot smoke. I have never tried it. Must be all in the lighting.

I think it would have been more powerful if you included the lit end of the cigar, instead of just relying on the title.

I hate everything about smoking, but this picture of a cigar smoke I like a lot and I hope it will do well. (10)

Lovely smoke. I like your diagonal composition. I'm not sure about the smoke going outside the frame at the top - true that cigar smoke (and the smell) will not be confined, but this little bit of smoke is too half-hearted. Also I'd like to see the cigar - or at least a glowing tip.

Nice smoke capture, but it should have had the cigar in the shot to give this more impact.7

Very creative and effective image of smell, although without title, wouldn't necessarily associate with a cigar. Would be neat to also see the tip of the burning stogie. Excellent shot.

Not enough for me.

Nice. A bit overused lately but a decent representative picture.

I hate cigar smoke, I LOVE the shot! :-) Wonderful composition, I like the smoke going on the diagonal from one corner to the other, and I like the shapes very much, that the smoke has. B&W is excellent for this shot, it's simple and great, my favourite kind of photo. Congrats, and good luck! :-)

WONDERFUL!!! Your composition is excellent, the lighting is perfect and you have illustrated the subject to a level beyond expectation. The viewer's imagination is challenged. I'm impressed!

really good picture - 10

Lovely shapes and lighting but it's pulling my eye out of frame towards the cigar - it's almost like it's pointing out of the frame.

If you show some cigar, we'd incorporate smell better. RIght now, it just looks like it would irritate my eyes

It would have helped to have the cigar in the picture as well. At least the tip. Good capture of the smoke.

Pretty, looks like it's dancing. Nice light.

Nice smoke, only wish we could see the cigar.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

fantastic! excellent use of lighting - my fave!

Love the shot but wish the source was included. An added thought: ithere is general rule in photography that a shot should never go diagnol from corner to corner. However because of the weightof the shot on the left, you seem to have broken the rule very effectively. Good luck

that white border is a bit inappropriate on the top right corner
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I would have loved to see the cigar so that the title did not have to tell me the aroma. 5

Beautiful capture, and lovely composition, but it seems to be pointing down to the cigar mentioned in the title, and my eyes want to see it! Wonderful lighting, and I do like the border treatment; overall a very visually appealing shot.
