Used to in college here and there when I drank. When it was warm out and we would be outside with a mixed drink and a cigar? Just the best. Also great while golfing.
(I was just reminded of a golf outing I have this summer where cigars will surely be on the table!)
Huh, just had one last night for the fist time in a month or so. It’s all about the weather, and I’ll have a few a week in the summer. Outside always! On the golf course, too.
An amalgamation of the above replies - 1 to 3 a year, only good quality, always outside.
There is not much better than sitting with a couple of buddies at the end of a dock on a pleasant night in San Francisco, after a great meal of fresh cioppino and sour dough bread, smoking a good quality cigar and sipping a nice bourbon.
Yes. When trying to pack in cigarettes 30 something years ago, I tried substituting cigars on the mistaken belief they were less harmful. I smoked them like a cigarette and my lungs didn’t forgive me for years. I went back to cigarettes, which I eventually kicked 24 years ago. The smell of cigars now just make me retch
Yeah this. I switched to cigars from cigarettes when the government decided to tax them like crazy. Cigars are taxed a lot less. Switched to a pipe around the same time. I would do cigars but not a pipe at work. Still do cigars at the hunting cabin several times a year.
Missed that place although I have it bookmarked now. My regular haunt was Pittsburgh Cigar near CCAC North back when the owner was that bald headed mutant who looked like Bull Shannon’s bigger brother. I sure do miss him and his hatred for anything U of Kentucky.
A few times at weddings and such. I enjoyed it but I was also a smoker at the time. Since then, I’ve quit smoking so I wouldn’t tempt fate by having a cigar.
I lived in northern Thailand in the 1980s. Specifically, Mae Hong Son province, the country’s northwesternmost province and right on the border with Burma. Burmese cigars came 50 to a pack and cost about a buck a pack or so. I used to sit out on my porch, sipping Thai whiskey and smoking those things.
