Smoking Music. Jazz or....

That's fine, WHAT blues

The Real Sonny Boy Williamson...from Jackson, Tennessee, John Lee Hooker...haw, haw... haw, Robert Johnson, Led Belly, Muddy Waters.

Best enjoyed with really cold beer and Whole Hog Pit Bar-B-Q.

I dig some blues, some Johnny Cash, and then there is the old stand by.....PUNK ROCK. Yeah, I'm a loser, haha. I usually don't listen to a whole lot of punk rock when I smoke though.

I've got a Sirius satelite radio and listen to mostly blues or classic country. Add R.L. Burnside to that list and you hit most of my favorites.

I love cold beer, cigars and smoked pig. My smokers not big enough to do whole hogs though . I found a bunch of marked down pork chops the other day and bought a freezer full. Chops are pretty good off the smoker as long as you don't dry them out real bad.

Do you have digital cable or satellite? They generally have a lot of channels dedicated to certain music tastes. Run your speaker "out" lines to your stereo and you've got CD quality, 100% music channels to enjoy!

Since cigar smoking is an art of relaxation, relaxing music would be best. Classic Jazz, Classical, etc. Frankly, I mostly listen to rock because I'm a rock kind of guy.

I have Sirius radio on my satellite dish. The Metal channel gets a bit of use when my dad isn't home

The Elvis station gets a lot of use when he is, so I hide upstairs in my room.

Jazz lover here too. Nothing better than listening to live jazz in a small club while smoking a fine cigar. Life does not get better than that, IMO.

For home listening, Miles Davis is a favorite. "Kind of Blue" is a classic and a great introduction to jazz.

Miles Davis really does it for me, especially Kind Of Blue (So What and Freddie Freeloader are the best on that album). Just some awesome relaxed, funky, laid back kind of stuff. I also like a few of Diana Krall's and Ella Fitzgerald's Ballads. Again, relaxed, laid back.

I'm a Jazz lover too. Ben Webster, Miles, Billie Holyday, to name a few, are always welcome in my house during smoking time.

Ohhh, Pyrofish. You need to embrace Elvis. Elvis, who I still love (headed to Memphis in October) taught me about guys like BB King, Big Boy Crudup, Muddy, Sonny Boy, T-Bone Walker, Son House.

THOSE guys are who really stared it all. Look back a ways: the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, all started out as blues players. The English kids in the 50s and 60s recognized these great artists way before Americans did.

The blues, cold beer, bbq-ed pig, and a tasty stogie--it just don't get any better!
