got a problem here

**QuietC** · 06-27-2005, 10:54 PM

Alright, for quite some time now i've been smoking whenever i'd watch a game on t.v., and then it kicked up during the basketball playoffs, well now basketball is over and football isn't here yet, and i can't seem to get in the mood to just sit out on the porch at night and smoke, so don't know if i should just force my ass outside and then maybe it'll end up being a nice time anyways. But then if it doesn't i wasted a cigar. Any suggestions?

**Drake** · 06-27-2005, 11:00 PM

i here ya on that. we get into our rituals and like to stick to them. i suggest you find something else you like to do that can be done while smoking. i personally don't like just sitting. i either watch a movie, post on forums, or read. find another activity you can associate smoking with.

My advice would be not to push it at all. Smoke when you're in the mood or you won't really enjoy it. Just my .02

Agreed, Ray... I usually "retire" to my back patio to enjoy a nice cigar and a glass of spirits. Usually, it's what my mood hits me with. I'd like to think that I'm not hooked on cigars, just enjoy the hell out of sitting, smoking a nice cigar, sipping a nice drink, enjoying my family and the weather - in general, relaxing! I smoke cigars to take me to another place (LEGALLY!!!)...

I agree, if you're not in the mood, don't smoke it. I haven't had a cigar in a couple days... Had a bit of a head ache yesterday so I went to bed early, and haven't had time today. Not a biggie. Maybe if you have any long drives, thats a good time to enjoya smoke!

**QuietC** · 06-28-2005, 03:10 AM

i think concentrating on driving would take the enjoyment out of the cigar for me, it's only been a week so far, i'm sure the mood will hit me at some point.

The point of smoking a fine cigar is relaxation and enjoyment. If you don't feel like smoking, don't. Most cigar smokers don't smoke everyday. That's because we have refined tastes, not a nicotene addiction. You probably like ice cream too, but you don't need to have a bowl every day.

On occasion I smoke a cigar on my commute home after work, and for me it's the exact opposite...the enjoyment of the cigar takes the edge of the drive. of course now it's summer here in Texas, so that means 98+ degrees in the afternoon, so driving with the windows down on 4-10 is brutal....but during nicer weather, a nice stogie, some good talk radio, and a nice breeze and my commute is a lot more tolerable.

I don't concentrate on driving when I drive

therefore I have no problem enjoying cigars when I drive.

In the city I can agree with that 100%. I was thinking more along the lines of a nice highway or country drive

Not me, I was driving on the Long Island Expressway and the Bruckner Expressway in New York City in crazy bumper to bumper traffic (in the Jaguar no less

) this past Sunday evening enjoying every minute of an SLR Serie A

**QuietC** · 06-28-2005, 01:11 PM

i think i passed you on the road the other day CC, your the one that damn near ran me off the road. Also i only drive about 20 mins to work, so that would require a fairly quick smoke, unless i want to try and chainsmoke a cigar and end up passing out

I could enjoy a cigar in bumper to bumper traffic too. It'd keep me from

the other drivers to quick

QC,
As was stated in post prior to this one, Dont force the issue. You will smoke when you find the right moment.

But if you are looking to enjoy a smoke but cannot find the right atmosphere, Try reading.
Assuming you can read, JK.
I find a nice Clancy novel, a coke with or without rum or other liqor, and a nice cigar cannot be beat.

You could also try a CAO BRAZILIA Carioca in a tin or any other small cigar, for the drive home. I find a nice cigar then some time on the porch is real good.

Nothing like a good book to go with a cigar.

As for sports you have no reason to despair, the WNBA is now in season.
