Parties and smoking cigars

Squid · 12-24-2008, 04:25 PM

I'd say to you to pack up some gars and head to the party. As you mingle and socialize, you'll get the gist as to whether any others may be smokers...when you see them heading outside to the patios, etc.

Always pack up a few extras....I have inevitably found that when I light up a stick outside, it becomes a conversation piece. Many have fond memories of fathers or grandfathers, when they catch the smell of a great cigar. At that time...make the offer of a stick to those that truly seem interested. No doubt, before you know it, you'll be trading stories. At that time, you can also share with them info on CA...and let them know there is a world of others that enjoy them, as well.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and enjoy the party!

Lots of good suggestions here already. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best!

I always pack my 15 stick travel caddy, and I always have a tin of shorter sticks if people are going outside to smoke. I'd rather smoke a short cigar that not smoke at all, and if there are people that are interested, I break out the regular stash.

As some of the others already said, you can always put them back in the humi after the party!

I hope you are enjoying the party and smoking a cigar as I type this...

If I would have replied in time my recommendation would have been -
Never let others determine who you are!!

Ended up not even firing one up, thank goodness. We were there for just over an hour. Was too stuffy for me. We really didn't know anyone anyways.

BUT- to answer your question- no, I likely would not light up if I were the only one doing so. However, I WOULD bring my humi and maybe join someone for a stick. And I guess it would also depend on how formal the party is. A big outdoor BBQ might have me lighting up(with permission) away from the crowd- even if I did so alone. Many variables- but be a Boy Scout- "always be prepared!"

i'm curious - i don't think i saw this mentioned, but what made you think that cigars would even be allowed? pretty rare occurence these days, i think.
