Kind of like the question in Fight Club. If you could smoke a cigar with anyone famous living or dead who would you smoke with.
I will post but I am still thinking about it.

My Late grandfather. I have no heroes in the public eye alive or dead.
My Godfather. As far as famous people go, it would probably be Ernie Kovacs
Doc
Ernie Kovacs or Groucho Marks! Perhaps George Burns?Quote:

I would love to burn one with Richard Feynman. A close second would be Samuel Clemens.
*bandwagon alert*
Either of my Grandfathers. My dad's dad was gone before I was born, and I only have vauge memories of my mom's dad.
Famouswise: John Mellor
Will
Is there anymore room on the bandwagon guys?
My grandfather was a pipe smoker and when I was real young I had one of those plastic pipes that would blow the soap bubbles. I always had it in my mouth when I was with him and I thought I was a total boss!
I wish he was still around so I could hang out on the porch with him and an actual tobacco pipe and flip off all the cars passing by as he would do when he was super drunk, which of course was daily.
He was a crazy, funny, cool old dude.
As for famous, I would like to smoke a cigar with Buzz's calves someday.:smiley4:
Monica Lewinsky.

Oh man.........that one literally had me LOL'ing :smiley20:Quote:

ahhhhhhh..........add me to the bandwagon too. My dad's father passed away before I was born and it'd be cool to be able to talk to him and get to know him.
George S. Patton.
If I was to pick a General or an Admiral, I think I'd go with Chesty Puller.Quote:

One of my favorite Patton quotes:
"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. ... As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence. "
I would second this. The man new more about history and the history of war than most can even fathom. Although I would pick to have a smoke with Thomas Jefferson.Quote:

I sat an talked with him many a day on the front porch and later on averanda of the home he had to go in his last year of his life. I began tearing up instantly when I read Kevin response thinking omg if I could have one more day. :smiley19:
Famous person would be Don Rickles
Well, it's Friday night and I could use some musical entertainment. So, for today I would choose Shannon Hoon.
LMAO :smiley36:Quote:

Don't really even care what brand they are at that point, but he 's snobby, so it always goes well.

I wasn't thinking of fictional figures before... Forget the nephews, I change my answer to smoking a Cuban Churchill with Kramer.
I'm surprised no one mentioned Winston Churchill.
I'm not big on the idea of smoking a cigar with famous people so I'll have to pass on this.
Éamon de Valera
No on in particular, anyone decent that enjoys a good cigar and conversation.
Jesus Christ.
Amen! :smiley20:Quote:

Well George it might start out like this, "What's a cigar"?
Doc
I was wondering that myself, even though He should (theoretically) know what a cigar is...Quote:

...and finally - what cigar would be most appropriate for Him and what would be appropriate to pair the cigar with? Wine sounds about right, but would He be perhaps interested in Scotch? Again - there would be those that would be shocked if Jesus smoked - and (more importantly) even more blown away he'd choose something like Scotch (or other alcoholic beverage) to "enjoy" with the cigar...
Wow. Seriously - once you got past all of that awkwardness and Jesus was amiable, what an incredible discussion you could have if He really would be willing to sit down with you over a cigar and glass of Scotch.

I suspect that having been made in man's image and having lived as a man for 30+ years here on earth, Jesus would partake of all 4......a good cigar, a good drink, good company, and an excellent conversation. Or at least, I like to think He would.
And yes, that would be an amazing conversation!
I'm not going here.
One could argue that simply breathing our polluted air is bad for your health. I wouldn't be surprised if Jesus would enjoy a cigar and some scotch (in moderation). Some present-day pharisees would likely make a comment about how He would be hanging out with sinners, and I suspect His response would be very similar to what He said 2,000 years ago. He turned about 150 gallons of water into wine at a wedding... some people get a little freaked out by that thinking that He was promoting drunkenness - but was he promoting gluttony when He provided way more than the necessary amount of bread and fish when He fed the 5,000?
"Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."
Matthew 15:11
Buzz will go there...
:smiley36: - Yeah, I'm a bit reckless on a mountain bike too...Quote:
