Social or Not?

RevSmoke · 11-08-2011, 07:00 PM

Personally, I enjoy a cigar best in the company of others who are enjoying a cigar with me. Next, I really enjoy a cigar in the company of friends who may not be cigar smokers at all, but who do not mind me indulging myself.

Lastly, I will enjoy a cigar alone - although that is not preferred at all. Alone, I will more often gravitate to filling my pipe and sitting with a good book or movie. Although, with the right movie a cigar is OK - but better if the movie is shared with another smoker.

How many of you find yourselves in that same boat?

How do you prefer to have your cigars - alone? Or with a friend?

Peace of the Lord be with you.

90% of the time I'm flying solo.

Sonic04GT · 11-09-2011, 01:08 AM

Alone almost all the time, with my iPad.

E.J. · 11-08-2011, 07:11 PM

I prefer to smoke with friends, which is how I do 90% of my smoking.

With a friend(s) for certain!!

Stephen · 11-08-2011, 07:17 PM

I smoke almost exclusively alone. More often than not it's time that I use to relax, unwind and savor the moment.

Ogre · 11-08-2011, 07:14 PM

With friends, everything is better!!!!

I tend to smoke with friends - mostly opther cigar or pipe guys. I don't object to smoking alone with a book...but I do prefer to have it as a social occasion.

I prefer to smoke with a friend(s), but I often smoke alone.

Bill86 · 11-08-2011, 07:19 PM

I smoke alone, all by myself.

Most of the time at least.

Mattso3000 · 11-08-2011, 07:22 PM

Most of the time I smoke alone, In the winter tho I tend to gravitate towards the local B&M. Gets a little cold outside.

688sonarmen · 11-08-2011, 07:43 PM

I smoke alone mostly to unwind after a day or get up early to start the day. I enjoy cigars the most with no distractions and will smoke new cigars or ones I have been saving when I can pay the most attention to it. Smoking in the company of others has it's benefits but it's not about the cigars so I'll smoke my go to.

When I smoke alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Zeuceone · 11-08-2011, 08:00 PM

Mainly smoke at the local B&M and always smoke bymyself. I smoke at home but I'm always doing something as to not waste time just smoking.

big a · 11-08-2011, 08:27 PM

I smoke alone %50 of the time, %25 with my wife and %25 with friends. When I smoke alone i am often on my laptop on CA so i am with my friends in an around about way.

darkleeroy · 11-08-2011, 08:29 PM

Most of the time I'm smoking at my B&M. It's always nice to know the random thoughts of a fellow BOTL.

I also fly solo, but not really. My trusty Basset Hound is almost always by my side laying on the porch with me.

Emjaysmash · 11-08-2011, 08:38 PM

I haven't smoked alone in close to 3 months. The few times I have smoked have all been with friends.

Bageland2000 · 11-08-2011, 09:06 PM

I smoke alone sometimes to be by myself and relax, but most of the time I despise it. In fact, if I had a buddy who smoked as much as I would like to, I'd probably go through sticks about 10 times as fast as I do right now. Usually I smoke with people during that rare, "hey Nagel, I think it's finally time to have a stogie" special event type thing. Rare, but maybe that's a good thing

11-08-2011, 09:08 PM

I've returned to smoking as a social activity, and it's reminded me that I enjoy it enough to do it solo....if that makes sense.
