    Default prefer smoking alone or with people?

    Personally, if i'm in the house, i like to smoke alone, also if its a new cigar, i'd rather be alone so i can study it more in order to give it a rating in the book. But if i'm outside i'd rather have someone to talk with.

    Default Just depends......

    It depends-I prefer to have someone around to talk to if they enjoy cigars as well. It's great to have the same cigar as a good friend and be able to converse about what the other is tasting, as well as experiencing with a given cigar. With that being said, smoking solo isn't that far behind in terms of preference. I like to grab a good corona or churchill and dive into a great book. For me, the weather is more of a predictor as to whether or not lighting up on a given night will be enjoyable or not. I've had times with good company that were "worse" than when I was alone and the weather was more favorable. I don't smoke indoors due to the little ones being around in the house. I also don't like lighting up if children are around in public establishments. I've let a cigar or two smolder out when kids appear from the basement of the local legion or enter for some reason late at night.

    I really like having friends around as well as going to the local cigar store/lounge. But I also like to sit alone with a good book as well.

    As with which cigar to smoke this is very much an attitude, and current feeling thing as to what I enjoy more at any one time.

    So in a true politician/lawyer-like fashion I am not deciding and making no commitment here.

    If I am in the mood to just sit in my comfy chair and relax, then solo is nice. But I also love getting with a friend and sitting in the local pub enjoy a good cigar with a dark brew.

    Default Me too.....

    although I would choose to smoke with my best buddy if possible, but either way is OK.

    I smoke alone
    With nobody else.
    When I smoke alone
    I prefer to be by myself.


    I go to the cigar shop once or twice a week and smoke with my buds there. The rest of the time it's just me and my cigar...usually prowling around the back roads searching for bad guys.

    I usually smoke alone. When I am done work, all my errands and the house is clean I will sit back and relax with a stogie and a Heineken

    Both for me too. But the type of cigar differs depending on which situation I am in. If I am out with friends I enjoy a Churchillish size cigar that is full bodied, alone usually a more mild robusto.

    Maybe if CC and Roham would quit drinking skunky beer their attitudes would improve. Try some Fat Tire guys.

    Isn't drinking "skunky beer" an offense that warrants jail time? Might want to check the books on that one. I agree 100% about the Fat Tire- YUMMMY!!!. But my new interest is Bud select.

    Also try Belgian beers...Delirium Tremens, Nostradamus, La Binchoise, etc...serious beers....you will never go back to watery pseudo-pilsners again. Hard to find in some places but worth it.
    KOTL--grow your own and smoke it!!!!

    Oh sure, the next time I'm at a bar or a club, I'll be sure to ask for one of those.
