I believe the same logic applies to "I'm not a cigar smoker". But I remember a Hollywood star said that when he meant he rarely smoked cigars. I could have misunderstood him. Please confirm. Thank you.

I'm not a big coffee drinker. - I don't drink much coffee - so the implication is rarely.

I'm not a big cigar smoker. - I don't smoke many cigars - again, implication is rarely.
