Addie fancies puffing on cigars after concerts

Some people choose going to see a movie or shopping at the mall as stress-relief therapy. Composer-slash-conductor Addie M.S. opts for something a little different: smoking cigars.
When his days get too tiring, lighting up a cigar does the trick in perking him up a bit.
“I indulge myself in smoking cigars after finishing a concert,” says the 15-year stogie veteran.
“It’s like a carrot dangling in front of my head to remind me that after the hard work, I’ll get to do what I want.”
At first, clove cigarettes were his weapon of choice. But after countless burn holes in his shirts, Addie chose another option.
“I had a friend laugh at me when he saw holes in my conductor’s costume, and then he offered me a cigar,” says the 50-year-old.
“At first it tasted weird. But then I got carried away with the different sensation cigars bring.”
