All Cigar Discussion>Cigar in an Airplane?

Never smoked on a plane, but ....

why I remember during the Blitz being on watch in the dirigibles (please don't call them 'balloons'!) keeping a watch for the Hun. We'd be tethered 300-400 meters up by a couple of metal cables designed to give their old kites the ol' one-two. Well, back then, you were just amazed if you lived to see the dawn, so we thought nothing of smoking 2, maybe 3 cigars a night. Those were the days! A couple of good smokes in your jacket pocket, an extra scarf and a thermos of coffee against the cold and duty for your country in your heart. Ah to be young again. Of course, it helped to do a couple hits of acid before going up so that you didn't chite your pants and all.

They made a documentary about that time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rKYL0tW-Ek

If I remember correctly you don't have to be as old as Peter to have experienced a cigar on a plane. You could smoke on international flights in the 90's. Although I was to young then. :-)

It's a joke. Dave's helicopter is open air, so smoking would be hard. Damn him and his love of convertibles.

I smoked a cigar on a Douglas DC-7 back in 1966 or so going to Chicago. Not long after that, they banned cigars and pipes and made it cigarettes only. Yeah, you have to have gray hair to remember that.

I wonder if they allow cigar smoking in fractional ownship scenarios?

So you h ave smoked on a plain but not on a plane.:-)

When I was a Crew Chief back in the mid to late 80's I know a few of the crew members smoked small cigars because other crew members hated it. I don't think they were allowed to smoke on them anymore but nobody narc'd them oout.

The only times I was on a plane and smoking was allowed was in '98. I was in Greece taking a domestic flight from Athens to Thesaloniki. Olympic airlines allowed you to smoke and the plane stunk because everyone was smoking cigarettes.
