great shots.... I really like that "dark" look, namerfrats
I recently got a 40d that I need to learn how to use more... I have a crappy lens (18-55 Canon kit lens)
I haven't tried any stogie shots yet... I'll give this a whirl. Then come here for some advice, bc it seems like you guys know what's up, for sure.
(PS - The Dark Tower is my FAVORITE series
:-) )

Good shots MedicCook. I would recommend trying to get the cigar more in focus, and blur the back ground to bring the cigar out even more. Using a high aperture to create the desired affect.

yep on a sunny day like that, bring your f-stop as low as your lens will allow, make sure the ISO is 100 or so, and adjust shutter speed accordingly.
:-) And making sure the camera focuses on the cigar, should give you a good amount of bokeh.

Mine aren't quite as good as most of the ones in this thread, but I think they came out OK. I don't have a great camera (Canon Powershot G6) for this kind of shooting. It's not an SLR.

A friend let me borrow her Canon Rebel XS that's a 10.1MP DSLR. This is the first time I've gotten to play with a "real" camera and this morning I took a TON of pictures with it. I'll be putting them up here soon.
I've always loved photography and did pretty well with my point and shoot, but this is a whole different world (and I have TONS to learn). I may get one of these... I really dig it.
