All Cigar Discussion>Are you an "oblivious smoker"?

Can his statement be any more Spanish? It's hysterical because he's Spanish - and an aristocrat - daring to sound proper, but failing to realize how ironic and contradictory his statements are...because he's from Spain.

Americans multi-task. Spanish take siestas. Go enjoy your tapas and wake up at 9pm on a weekday. I'll decide what I do with my free time while we continue to bail you out and let you party on my dime with Italy and Greece.

What a joke.

I love sitting and relaxing and taking a cigar in and enjoying every detail of it. But sometimes I want a cigar and have stuff to do. So i go both ways on this. I have cheaper cigars that I will pick when I can't sit and relax and others that will only be smoked when I have time to relax and enjoy.

I pretty much only smoke in my backyard or in the green belt by our house. On a rare occasion I will smoke on the patio at the bar I am at.

I used to smoke while I Golfed but it just took away from the cigar. My cigar time is for me and the cigar.

I'm actually trying to cut back on my cigar smoking, but before I would average 2 a day. Now I'm down to about 5-7 per week, mostly over the weekend. If I'm not smoking on my back patio, I'm usually at the cigar bar, or at the park not far from my work. It's definitely a period of relaxation and letting go of the day's stresses, however I'm never going to be convinced it doesn't carry it's own risks either.

Guilty of smoking in the street while walking the dog, but for me and the dog it's a ritual. When he sees me putting on my shoes, a ballcap and go into the den for a cigar, he starts jumping around and wagging his tail because he knows we're heading out. He's a beagle, so he stops to smell something about every 20 feet anyway, so its a slow, leisurely experience. Its a contemplated experience and by no means oblivious. :-)

Smoking cigars - I think - IMPROVES my overall health. :-)
Absolutely agree! :-)

The only "me time" I can count on without fail is my half-hour walk home from work. I think that walk deserves a cigar. Simple as that.

Funny since Albert Jr. just put up his Connie #1 photo at the bullfight today in Spain. Made me chuckle.

I only smoke to relax. I buy short cigars because I don't have an hour block ever. I do smoke cigarettes where ever when ever.

I usually only smoke while visiting friends houses. Just recently I started smoking at my house as well. I did smoke on the way back from the B&M one day and I don't feel bad or less civilized because of it.

I don't smoke indoors at home or in my truck but when I'm in New Orleans on Bourbon Street I light it up! The only time I smoke in doors is at my fav local cigar shop and at the Casino because it puts most dealers out of their game.

When that peckerhead starts buying my cigars then I'll start being concerned about when he thinks I should smoke them. Otherwise, he can FO.
