As much as I enjoy sitting by myself with a good stick while reading a good book or listening to some tunes I would rather get together with others and enjoy my cigar and the conversation. What do you prefer?

Alone. I often smoke to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. I cannot get that when smoking with someone.

I enjoy it both ways, but do over 90% of my smoking alone and don't mind it. I am comfortable in my own skin.

While I do enjoy smoking with others. I end up smoking alone most of the time.

I enjoy smoking with others, but it is usually alone on my patio, which is fine too...it can be relaxing.

Well there's a a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't smoke with the one you love, honey...

I think I have become split down the middle. I love sitting out on the screened in porch and usually watch a movie or catch up on a show. But almost every Sunday my best friend and I go to this great little cigar bar in St Augustine where we have become regulars. There is a fantastically talented kid there who plays acoustic guitar and sings. They always have a killer selection of craft beers on tap and everyone knows my name. That's become my weekly therapy session.

Me, usually alone. TV on, usually with a book, magazine, or tablet. This is how I end every day. The last of the unwinding. I dont, however, mind a little company. Take a trip with my son to the nearby cigar bar for his monthly tastings. This gives me the opportunity to interact with people with similar interests. After two years I'm regular, first neme basis with the owner.

Oh yeah, this also involves some type of adult beverage. Usually bourbon or whiskey. Always only one (unless I'm at said tasting event).

I do most of my smoking alone.
Occasionally I get with a friend or two to enjoy a stick & conversation.
In these colder months that are approaching I'll wind up doing more communal smoking when I have to go to a lounge to enjoy a smoke & not freeze my butt off!

I gather with friends/coworkers once a week for a cigar at a cigar bar. Sometimes after they finish their one cigar and I am still smoking (I'm a slow smoker), I will finish and even have another while chatting with one of the other regulars. Right now, during colder weather, this is my almost only type of smoking I do; with others. Although I do enjoy this, TBH, I probably prefer to smoke alone in my yard or back deck. I don't get much time for peace with my family, so I relish the alone time I do get.

Winter; with others.
Summer; alone

I smoke alone if you don't count the wifey outside with me on occasion. I think I was born to be a loner as I couldn't get company with $100 bills falling out of my pocket on Bourbon Street. Actually, that's just fine with me........

You sell yourself short!!
If $100 were falling out of your pockets you would have more friends/followers than you think!!😉

I heard that about you :shocked:

I might even consider hanging with him !

I almost always smoke alone, but then again there are no B&M's around here.
And that's fine with me - very relaxing.

Most of my cigars are enjoyed at home, so I'd say I'm a lone wolf when it comes to smoking. I do enjoy the club though where your always sure to be surrounded by good people.

I enjoy it both ways. It does depend on the company though. I have a good friend in town who I love to get together with and have a cigar and a drink. Most bars here that allow smoking don't like cigar smokers. Go figure, someone can chainsmoke their Camels all day but a good cigar is too stinky.

Since my son was born in May I have had very little time to smoke at all and basically none to smoke with friends. If I get a chance to it is usually after 8 pm and a shorter smoke, so it's hard to get together with friends at the moment. Hopefully, that will be changing before too long.

When I travel I enjoy smoking with others esp. when I travel out of the country. I get a lot of information from the locals and about the area and then follow up as to good restaurants or places to explore that aren't tourist traps. When I travel domestically I already know about the local cigar places because I've already been there a few times and I have my favorites. Have gone inside only to strike up conversations for hours and enjoy the locals. I like smoking alone as well as it gives me the downtime I enjoy to just sit and think and enjoy music or a good book.

We have our BRSA meetings at our local Sportsman Association and smoke with our group of hunters, gun shooters and beer drinkers. Also, just like to hang at my front porch with the wife unit on our rocking chairs and burn one there....Very relaxing no matter with or alone. Burn away Bums

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

There isn't anywhere close to smoke with others, and no one I know that lives close smokes cigars. I have enjoyed smoking one with one or both of my sons on the rare but blessed occasion.

droy1958 are there any streets closer to the east coast that you stroll down with those c-notes falling out of your pocket? :wavey:

Either is fine with me.
I smoke most often alone. I am one who smokes nearly every day, so during the week its on my balcony when the wife has gone to bed, relaxing and enjoying silence.
On weekends I like to visit my local shop and hang out with the regulars and enjoy a smoke.

Almost always alone, and that suits me just fine. After dealing with clients at work, I find I like people less and less :)

I usually smoke with me, myself and I.

Once in a blue moon someone will be around who enjoys tobacco and I'll have a smoking buddy.

I actually have a fair bit of smoking friends close enough to me...guess that probably says more about my company than anything else haha

Alone in my car, alone on my porch, alone in my garage, I'm gonna have to go with alone. I can count on one hand the number of times that I've smoked in the presence of other people.
Having a family with two younger boys, I enjoy the peace and quiet of the alone time.

I enjoy it both ways

I will be contacting you shortly. I enjoy it both ways as well! There is nothing like smoking a Padron 50th Anniversary while sipping a glass of Courvoisier after frolicking with both a man and a woman. One of life's greatest pleasures. If Mrs. Smokey is down, let me know. If not, Diane Sawyer is always up to go down.

I smoke a cigar any way I can get it. Just based on having young children and being tied to the house at night time, the majority of time I smoke alone or with my wife by my side (who doesn't smoke). Sometimes my wife sits with me and we have a nice talk - normally if the weather is nice. Other times I'm by myself. Now that it's cold, she doesn't sit with me hardly ever. But I always love a good cigar and good conversation with a friend as well.

So in conclusion, smoke cigars!

I showered 3 times after reading that and still feel dirty. I will ask Mrs Smokey, she may be interested. You ever slept with a 64 year old woman? By the time she's done with ya, your rectum will be bruised and your face will look like a glazed donut.

Today is my wife's birthday and she's in the sixty club also. I just get the bruised rectum thang. I sure like glazed donuts so PM me the details..... ;)

I like smoking alone or with friends and neighbors. I'm not likely to head to a cigar lounge to jaw with folks I don't know.

California is very hostile to smoking, although to be fair, the vast majority of smokers only smoke cigarettes. I think most people don't even realize that cigars and pipes are included when you legislate anti-tobacco laws.

As a result, I have tended to smoke alone, although TheGrumpyOleTroll , defetis , Sweet Cigars and I used to v-herf a lot.

My wife and I have enjoyed a cigar together on a handful of occasions, so I guess technically now I tend to smoke with another person?
