Do you normally smoke alone or with friends? I find most of the time these days i smoke alone which is a shame really but thats just the way it goes sometimes.

I smoke mostly alone, by alone i mean without other cigar smokers... Except for the occasion when i go out with a few work mates to Nottingham, then my two buddies who wont smoke in front of their wives join in.

Its normally just me, the cigar and the PC or TV... :cowboyic9:

Alone thus far--I only have one friend who also partakes, but we're both pretty busy. Seems the older I get, the less time for hanging about I have.

Both!

I probably smoke alone more often, but I have some mates that I get together with for poker nights and we generally burn some stogies. :cool:

Unfortunately, I have to supply the smokes most of the time! :(

I rarely smoke by myself. I usually meet up with people at least once a week, but if I don't have time, sometimes I won't get a smoke in for weeks at a time.

Most of the time these day all by myself.
If I get company my wife usually says why don't you offer him a cigar ?:frown:
Are you out your F in mind woman I think !:der:
I'm just suppose to hand over 1 of my humi children to someone posing
To be a cigar burner that will probably not get past the first 2 inches !
I've lost alot of loved ones over the years to posers and refuse to do it anymore...
Call me cheap but family is family ! And my Humidor children don't deserve
to burn up in just any ole fire with strangers ! ! LMAOROTF

Mostly on my own this end, but had a good smoke off with Daverave the other week. Good company and a fine puro go, oh so, very well together:rock:

Always with a friend of mine.
I can't remember the last time I smoked on my own...! I much prefer having a 'smoking companion'! :smoke:

A lonely hobby these days. Banned from public places by the Government. Banned from the house by the missus. In the Summer it's better, at least then
a coffee and a small cigar at a street cafe allows the opportunity to watch the ladies go by in their skimpier outfits.

I usually smoke alone during the week. On most saturdays or sundays, I'll get together with a friend for a smoke.:biggrin1:

twice a week at lunch with a colleague who appreciates a premium cigar. on the other days i'm usually smoking alone - but i have found that cigar smokers tend to be a friendly lot and on several occasions whilst sitting in either patricks park or stephens green fellow cigar smokers have joined me.

I tend to smoke alone, but on occasion I might pop into Floridita and have a chat with a couple of the regulars there [admittedly I don't go there that often...but I might do on Saturday/Sunday this weekend since I'm quaffing around up in town anyway!].
I quite enjoy the smoke on my own for that forced 'me-time' and a change of pace. However I do like a smoke with friends where possible in a social setting for a little bit of the banter.

I sit on a bench outside the cathedral and do just the same thing.

Like most here, usually I am "Billy No Mates" when smoking :hurt:

Thanks to the smoking :ban: opportunites are rare these days. :rolleyes:
Have enjoyed smoking cigars in company when the chance presents...

I love all possibilities.

A silent, slow one deep in my mind ramblings is great.
I love mates round to my shack, or smoking with other cigar buddies elsewhere.
I seem to be smoking most out late walking my dog at present.

I prefer to be enveloped by thick smoke indoors. Alone or with mates. I like the clouds hovering around my shack downlighters - Very stage set.

On a dog walk, there is no sense of the smoke hanging about your person, but it can lube up sympathetic passers-by and induce comment.

I have to smoke an 'everyday' cigar with company as i cant have the full attention to inspect a good smoke, wouldn't want a good good cigar to go up in flames in vain. :)

Do you find your BEST smokes are normally with company or on your own? I think smoking with company is more consistent, good company can make an average cigar very enjoyable. But smoking a cigar on my own, I have to be in the right frame of mind, relaxed/fatigued. I know its the right time when I've been craving a song then I'll stick my headphones on, bit of rum and ice water and any cigar I light up will just sing. :)

Unless my wife joins me for conversation, I always smoke alone on my back patio, taking in the view of the mountains. Its very relaxing but not as much fun as the few times I have gotten to smoke with friends.

Wed afternoons in the company of the cafe, usually the only cigar smoker but in the summer a lifeguard turns up who goes to Cuba 2-3 times a yr & we have a good time.
During a 2/52 leave, I usally meet up with a Belgian mate & his wife over a w/end & they both smoke. Even better in the winter they smoke in thier house:eek:, warm cosy & great company, which means I don't mind supplying the wine & Havanas.
Fishing usually one my own unless in the UK & then MattBlack is my boat partner.
Manage to pop into Boisdales once a month & meet the lunchtime crowd & whenever I can make a herf I will, the best times of all:cowboyic9:

I have to admit to being, predominantly within the 'loner' smoking camp. I enjoy the sense of escapism that a cigar can give you - half an hour or an hour in the garden, getting away from everything and just concentrating on the cigar, nature and sounds etc.

However, I also love herfing - I've hugely enjoyed all the get togethers I've had with other members of the forum. :849:

mostly im a lone smoker but that suits me fine its always been my time to chill relax and contemplate my thoughts, occasionally i do smoke with friends and family, though i have to say since joining UKCF i love to light up a smoke and indulge in a little forum reading makes me feel im with fellow BOTL's and good company, bah im getting all soppy....:smoke:

Alone nearly always. I have one friend who enjoys a smoke but doesn't realy buy stogies unless there's a special reason. I did enjoy quite a few pleasurable smokes with him whilst we were on tour last year, but not recently. I'm looking forward to the summer when I can sit in the beer garden on the quay nearby and enjoy a smoke and a drink with friends, but until then it's just me, the Military History channel and yet another bottle of cognac/armagnac/vodka.

I hear ya, mate. I generally smoke alone but a couple of my mates will join me in a smoke occasionally on the weekend but it's always from my stash...I don't mind though, it makes a pleasant change to enjoy a smoke socially :41:

I much prefer smoking with company, but unfortunately the opportunity doesn't present itself very often. My uncle and father visited me this summer and we smoked up a storm :)
