Yeah, I caught you looking. You're thinking, "Rev, the what's-your-favorite-cigar" has been done to death."
Yeah, I know, I totally agree. But this is completely different. I hope to challenge you to think about a couple things in this thread. It will also get us to know a bit more about each other.
Answer as many as you'd like, or as few.
1) What is your dream (it'll never happen, but it is nice to dream) situation for enjoying a cigar? (place, people, drink, whatever it may be that makes it your favorite)
2) What is your dream situation (it happens occasionally, just waiting for the next time) for enjoying a cigar? (place, people, drink, whatever it may be that makes it your favorite)
3) What is your favorite place to enjoy a smoke?
4) What is your favorite thing to be doing while enjoying a good cigar?
5) What is your usual pasttime while enjoying a cigar?
6) What is your usual place to enjoy a smoke?
7) Name 3 people (living) w/whome you'd like to enjoy a cigar?
8) Name 5 people from CA w/whom you'd like to herf.
9) Name 3 people (no longer living) w/whom you'd like to enjoy a smoke.
10) If we could get all of CA together for a herf, what would be your idea of a great herf (site, activities, drinks, cigars, etc... be as descriptive as you can)?
Have fun with it. I'm cogitating on my answer.
Peace of the Lord be with you.

Sitting on the deck of my cabin on Island Park reservoir with friend and family. The boats are in their slips, driftboat on the trailer. Everyone has filtered in from a day on the water wakeboarding/surfing, walking/floating the river trying to coax big rainbows to the top.....or just reading a book on the deck enjoying the quiet of the outdoors. The sun is going down, but still light out. A fire going in the outdoor fireplace...and cracking of the wood. Everyone is starting into their evening drinks.....and I'm going to light a AF Don Carlos #2 this evening and tell stories of the day. Great company, great conversation, great environment....

Wow, hard to narrow that list down! Too many people here I'd like to herf with.
9) Name 3 people (no longer living) w/whom you'd like to enjoy a smoke.
JFK, John Adams, François-André Danican Philidor
10) If we could get all of CA together for a herf, what would be your idea of a great herf (site, activities, drinks, cigars, etc... be as descriptive as you can)?
A 50 acre farm in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains here in east TN with tents, campers and bunkhouses for everyone as their preference dictates. Holiday weekend, 4 days of cigars, drinks, food and camraderie. At least one day we'd cook a couple of pigs in a pit, maybe every day! Plenty of room for wandering and walking, hiking the hills and seeing a beautiful place. Or you could just hang out by one of the campfires, shoot the bull and enjoy a stogie. It would be a great weekend.

1) What is your dream (it'll never happen, but it is nice to dream) situation for enjoying a cigar? (place, people, drink, whatever it may be that makes it your favorite)
I want to be sitting in Cuba, in some little dive bar, enjoying a Real Cuban CC, while enjoying a mojito and listening to some true cuban music.
2) What is your dream situation (it happens occasionally, just waiting for the next time) for enjoying a cigar? (place, people, drink, whatever it may be that makes it your favorite)
My dream situation is sitting on my front porch, my wife in the chair beside me, as my boys chase fireflies around the yard and I enjoy a nice cigar and enjoy the sounds of classic country coming through the screen door. No drink in my hand, just taking it all in. I enjoy this on a weekly basis.
3) What is your favorite place to enjoy a smoke?
Like I said above, on my front porch or in my hammock.
4) What is your favorite thing to be doing while enjoying a good cigar?
Fishing or just sitting around with family and friends, especially around a campfire.
5) What is your usual pasttime while enjoying a cigar?
Sitting at work or in my hammock.
6) What is your usual place to enjoy a smoke?
My Jeep unfortunately.
7) Name 3 people (living) w/whome you'd like to enjoy a cigar?
My dad, Bruce Springsteen, and Patterson Hood.
8) Name 5 people from CA w/whom you'd like to herf.
Too many great BOTL's to narrow that list down!
9) Name 3 people (no longer living) w/whom you'd like to enjoy a smoke.
Johnny Cash, my grandpa J.L., and my Grandpa Jackson.
10) If we could get all of CA together for a herf, what would be your idea of a great herf (site, activities, drinks, cigars, etc... be as descriptive as you can)?
A great herf would be in the Rockies of Colorado near Crested Butte, all of us around a huge campfire just sharing stories, jokes, wisdom, etc. while enjoying some great smokes and passing a jug around of homemade wine.

Wow! Glad to see this thread back up and running again. SmokeyJoe, you did it again.
Peace of the Lord be with you.
By the way, I couldn't narrow down #8 to 5 guys, so it was nice to have the herf with some of the Massholes - that evening accomplished a good portion of that.
Peace of the Lord be with you.
