Are there no fountain drink aficionados?
No chewing gum aficionados?
It seems elitist.

I think you can be an anything aficionado. Not exclusive to cigar smoking.

I think there are wine aficionados.
My husband thinks one can be a sports car aficionado. 😂

Are there no fountain drink aficionados? No chewing gum aficionados? It seems elitist. To me, it is a word from the 1910-1940s that signified well to do people who were did things everyone else did but were able to afford the luxury level of item. Men smoking cigars were fairly common place but an "aficionado" could afford imported pricey ones instead of the domestic produced budget cigars. Same with cars, horses, clothing and just about anything else. ETA: there isn't really a high end import difficult to get fountain drink or gum that everyone envies and wishes they could afford. Wine is one drink that has aficionado attached to it some times. |

Hello sharlag. Been thinking of you and hoping you are doing well. I’m an aficionado of cookies. |

I always thought aficionado meant someone who knows a lot about high end luxuries.
However, I looked up the definition because of this thread and my dictionary says an aficionado is a “person who is very knowledgeable or enthusiastic about an activity, subject or pastime.”
Based on that definition, I would say all the peas are shopping cart etiquette aficionados since we are so enthusiastic about the subject.

I am a fabric aficionado. I don't buy or sew with cheap fabric (cheap referring to quality vs price). Not only do I use the best fabrics for the project, I am continually studying and researching fabrics and learning more. That bank of knowledge is what sets an aficionado apart from someone who just likes something.
