Okay. . . I'm with you so far . . .
Some even have cigars dangling from their mouths as they forcefully
wade through the water to get to their spot only to blind cast.

Nope. . . I lost you on this one. Do the cigars have something to do
with the sloppiness of the approach?

I don't do cigars because I believe it was our 42nd President who
said; "Cigars are for pussys!"
On a serious note, it's not so much the downwind smoke,

.. . . I smell San Fran bicycle-nut smoking nazi . . .

but tying your
fly to the tippet after touching the stogie. Fish have a keen sense
of smell.

It's probably just crappy fishing technique, but I've never caught more or
less fish after the cigar. Well, maybe less fish, but there's not much doubt
in my mind that I can't blame that on the cigar.
