Enjoying your Cigar

[Sapper0001]

Fellow cigar smokers,

I saw that there where no new threads, so I decided to post one myself. I know everyone here enjoys smoking cigars, some of us are more experienced or like myself rather new. So, my question is where and when do you perfer to smoke a cigar, what kinds do you pefer and what part of the day, where do you love to smoke, in your favorite chair, outside, or somewhere else. Everyone talks so much about cigars(obviously it is cigar community)but what is it that you are doing at that part of the day that compliments that cigar that makes it enjoyable.

And if you feel my question is silly be careful what you say I am highly trained in demolitions and infantry tactics not to metion battle hardend, combat tested.......................just kinding, i am a nice guy,and I thought this would be a fun question to read others respones. But seriosly I am highly trained in those.

Nice warm evening in the back garden, good book and a couple of glasses of JD on ice. By preference a Robusto or Gordito (though if I have a lot of time it might be a Piramide).

In the summer, I like to walk down to the water, sit on a bench, and just watch the water... I prefer full-flavored smokes, but that's just how I roll...

yes, I'm the old guy talking to the waves.

I enjoy have a cigar in my Car, on the bench on the porch, at the beach (not yet this year) and, of course, playing golf.

I'm a full-flavored cigar type myself and generally smoke in the afternoon and evening.

But I'm not against a lighter cigar so long as it's flavorful or smoking in the morning.

I am glad to see some of you have replyed. All of your wheres of smoking a nice cigar seems to be the opteme of relaxation.

For myself I enjoy and cigar once a day in the early evening. Usually something mild to medium. I have not developed a taste for the much bolder cigars. I like it outside right before dark. To me I am letting my self settle after the day into the night. For me it is complete relaxation.

Thanks for the replys so far, hope to hear from the rest of you.

Something on the milder side in the early afternoon, before I start working for the day. Usually sitting on the little slab of concrete outside my backdoor watching traffic and looking at the trees. I'm in a first floor apt so I don't have much for smoking area. If I'm not too tired when I get home in the evening (11ish) I'll light up one of my stronger full flavoured cigars after I cook dinner. I'm usually alone in the afternoon, but evenings I tend to seek out company. There are a couple guys I work with that I am working on getting into cigars. We all live in corporate housing so everyone's nearby! One weekend a few of us plan to hit up a cigar store and go smoke there. It still amazes us that you can smoke in a mall here.

Sitting out back with a scotch watching all the birds feeding at the all the feeders we have around the yard. Usually a medium smoke but sometimes I get in the mood for a full.

I come home from a 12 to 14 hour work day, eat dinner, and then relax with a nice cigar. I usually smoke toros or larger. On the weekend, I'll usually smoke 3 to 4 cigars throughout the day, with the first being after breakfast and with a cup of coffee. My morning smokes tend to be mild to medium and sometimes smaller size, but I prefer my later-in-the-day sticks to be medium to full flavor and strength.

Due to the summer climate here, I tend to smoke inside while relaxing in the big recliner. In the cooler months, I will smoke out by, or in, the spa.

My favorite place to smoke is either at my Cigar Shop or on my back porch. A nice cool evening, no more than 72 degrees, with a mild wind, smoking one of my favorites (too many to mention here), relaxing with the dogs, with some country, jazz or rock on the radio (I have varied tastes in music as well). A nice big glass of ice tea and a great book. That is my little slice of heaven.

Well I am currently stationed with my Guard unit in LSA ANACONDA. When the day is done and dinner has settled, our HQ section, The commander, Operations personel, moter Sgt, Supply Sgt and others will sit in the unofficial smoking area of our HQ building (known as the house) around 2000 (8:00 PM). Alas we do not have good scotch (or even bad Scotch) just our near beer and diet coke. And for about 45 min to an hour we are just a bunch of guys bitching or praising the path that we choose to tread.

Surprising enough, I rarely smoke cigars at work. Cigars are a form of relaxation for me, and being interupted all day long kinda kills the pleasure and re-relighting sucks. Evenings and weekends are when I typically smoke a cigar.

[cb25]

my favorite smokes have always been outdoors on a patio/balcony, etc...sitting with some friends, BSing about everything and nothing, and listening to some good, chill music.

of course, living in Boston for a few years...none of my friends really share my interest in this type of activity. so for now, i'm enjoying my cigars a little less regularly, but sitting out on our front patio by myself...sometimes reading, sometimes i go there to make my phonecalls, sometimes just to sit quietly, etc...usually just a diet coke, or some crown royal...

[guado]

I love all types.

Mild-medium hanging with the guys while having a BBQ

Full flavor preferably maduro at night on the porch with a drink of sorts. Never alone, wither with a friend with good taste in cigars that appreciates my gifts that burn or with the woman and her "chocolate smokes"

Also my new found place a local B&M with extremely confortable Leather Laz-y-boys and just strike up converstion on whatever comes up.

[Desert Rat]

I don't make firing up a cigar an occasion.

The cigar I enjoy most often is probably the one I smoke at end of the day and house is quiet.
