What are cigars to you?

[droy1958]

Cigars are an escape for me. I know that a lot of people love them because they bring people together, but I'm quite the opposite. I'm happiest when I have some alone time with my stogie. I pour myself a beverage, put some kind of sports on my laptop, and just relax for two hours. I find that I can only really enjoy the nuances of a cigar if I'm alone. It allows me to really focus and think about what I'm tasting. My favorite time to smoke one is either really early in the morning, or into the wee hours of night.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hermit. I frequently have drinks with my lady friend and my buddies, and I'll spark one up. But I just can't focus on the cigar in that case, and usually smoke one of my cheap-o cigars. I save my nice stuff for when I'm alone on my porch.

I'm the same way mate. It's either me and my cigar, or my wifey outside with me. I have great friends and buddies, but none that smoke cigars......
