Ask octogenarian to centenarian and they have stories to tell about smoking cigar we commonly called "dinubla". This cigar is planted and handmade by them. Old guys believed cigar rejuvenate their strength and help them against many illnesses like stomach ache and spasms. There are rituals where cigar is used as offerings. Would You believe cigars and cigarettes can do good things to our body? Anyway,this is just discussion and I hope I didn't violated rules I took the photo

No, I don't believe this is true. When smoke is drawn into the human lungs, it will always create health problems.

There's a man in our province who's job is "hilot" he used tabacco as medicine to stomachache. He mixed it with oil and rubbed it to the stomach.

I am sure it might help some, but nothing that I would think could be considered healing. But you never know unless more research is done.

I would never believe they would do that. Offered as offerings? I have never heard of that
