By the time I found out how fuzzy the photo was the cigar was too small to bother taking another picture.

It was a very mild, strawberry flavored cigar. The first time that I have smoked a flavored cigar.

Macro?

You would have got almost the same photo evens with a tripod. The things in the distance are much better in focused than the lighted cigar. So the problem was the focus distance not the lack of a stabile supporter like a trpid. Many cameras have a close-focus option or macro shot setting (oftens using a symbol of a flower) which is designed to get a good photo like the one you took. Evens if you have such a camera or setting then you often need to reduce the flash when using it or the light is so bright the image is mostly white.

focal point

I think it has a macro setting but this is a new camera that I am not familiar with. I should have at least used the portrait setting. I took two pictures one with flash and one without. Both pictures came out alnost identical for some reason.

I half depressed the button to set the focus but the cigar must have been too far off center and it focused on the background. I should have focused on the cigar first and then swung the camera to the right.

Did it have that

George Burns smoked cigars every day and lived to be 100 but he didn't inhale. When I used to smoke I inhaled whatever I was smoking including cigar smoke. Some of the better restaurants used to offer a cigar at the end of a meal and they were usually very good cigars but sometimes someone would give me one that wasn't so good. You of course remember in the good old days how a father would hand out cigars to everyone whenever he had a new child, (a habit that seems to have disappeared), well sometimes they were pretty strong but I still inhaled the smoke. I quit smoking several years ago and now I try not to inhale when I have the occasional cigar but that one that I had tonight was so mild that I caught myself inhaling it.
