This calls for a cigar

RHerrington · 09-05-2012, 06:07 PM

I'm pretty curious - what activities for you, fellow BOTL's, absolutely calls for a good cigar? What do you normally find yourself doing when you are enjoying a stick? What is it that you can't imagine doing without a cigar?

For me, I always find myself reading. After a long day at work, nothing could make my day more enjoyable than to end it sitting on my balcony looking over the woods behind my apartment with a book in one hand and a good cigar in the other..

Case in point - just now I had a Pinar del Rio Reserva Limitada while reading Mansfield Park, and tomorrow will most likely end the same way with whatever cigar looks tasty as I dig through my coolidor.

So, what is it for you guys?

For Me, Any Time I Have An Hour Or So To Relax, Especially After A Tough Day At Work!

I Usually Listen To Music & Have A Cold Beverage With My Cigar.

Any time I need to "recharge and relax", a stick always seems to do it for me. On that same note...I so much prefer to enjoy them with good friends...always makes the stick so much more enjoyable.

Kevin(n)tn · 09-05-2012, 06:38 PM

I agree. Just anytime I have time to sit back relax. Nothing beats some quiet time on the patio with a book,beer and good smoke.

equetefue · 09-05-2012, 06:35 PM

Every afternoon after a long day of work

TJtorpedo · 09-05-2012, 07:09 PM

After a long day of work = cigar + music + beverage + back deck

markem · 09-05-2012, 07:15 PM

Usually, I grab the kindle (working through Terry Pratchett's Discworld Series) and head out back where I sit here:

and scratch these ears

love your spot as well. Most relaxing.

N2 GOLD · 09-05-2012, 07:19 PM

I find myself smoking, drinking & relaxing...

RHerrington · 09-05-2012, 07:20 PM

Very nice spot you have there, Mark. I can't wait to have a place of my own so I can put together something half as relaxing as yours looks.

Hope you get it, Rick, and that you post pictures when you do.

icehog3 · 09-05-2012, 07:53 PM

Relax...recharge...unwind. Three reasons already stated that are huge for me.

Also, if I am home watching a sporting event of interest, I usually burn a couple as well.

And herfs? Don't get me started....

Ogre · 09-05-2012, 07:56 PM

It's great you can have that moment of time. Enjoy it brother.

EricF · 09-05-2012, 07:57 PM

Chillin' after work, watching football, a good movie and of course herfin' with friends!!

14holestogie · 09-05-2012, 08:11 PM

Golf and a cigar. Couldn't imagine a game without one or two.
Football season as well, whether in the sunroom or the garage, I need a smoke to calm me down.

And whenever Todd calls....

Taki · 09-05-2012, 09:21 PM

Hanging with all the boys from the neighborhood...Shane, Dennis, and Ken! Great times with great friends

dvickery · 09-05-2012, 09:30 PM

interesting that there are a few who smoke and read.

i cannot smoke and read...even tho i probably read 25 hours a week and watch tv 5 hours a week...my favorite cigar activity is to smoke while watching hockey(mind you only the oilers games).

I am reminded of a classic Champagne quotation:

"I only drink Champagne when I'm happy, and when I'm sad. sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. when I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am. otherwise I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty"
Lily Bollinger

Substitute cigar smoking where necessary.

Blackhawks games might make those cigars even sweeter, Derrek.

I either sit at my picnic table or if the spine forbids I wander around my property looking at all things of interest....deer and elk sign, mushrooms,rabbits,birds,cows,fish etc. It is very relaxing for me.

Things that demand it...Sitting around a campfire.
