Constant stares in public

[moidoid]

Most people say how much they like the aroma of a cigar when I'm lounging outside my local hostelry - those that don't are envious and ignorant. Either way I end up feeling fine about my lovely cigar.

Being from liverpool the choice smoke is proberly one of butters special. So on occasions i get it but misses just tells me to fuck them [emoji106]

Aye I get this a fair bit when I am in London at the moment. Usual city types are ok but the women wrinkle their noses up in disgust whilst sucking on their horrible menthol cancer sticks in their skin tight dresses and ludicrous heels... Was stood with my mate in Borough Market boozing outside smoking a fcking Montecristo Puritos and the looks I got were ridiculous and not one but two groups actually moved out of the way saying it stunk. Bloody peasants.

A True Story!

Don TJ posted this story before, but I'm going to retell it because I think it's quite fitting for this thread.

Several years ago, while la familia Coro was on a luxury cruise somewhere in the North Sea, we decided to spend the evening on the upper deck enjoying an outdoor movie and a fine Cohiba Siglo I. After settling down in chaise lounges that lined the upper deck on the side where no other people were sitting, we began to eat popcorn and don TJ broke out his Dupont lighter to spark up his fine puro.

Well, it was quite dark at the time and no one could see what don TJ was doing, but no sooner had he clicked open his Dupont lighter with a "ping" and sparked it up, a ship employee showed up to apologetically tell us that a woman on the other side of the ship, over 30 meters away, complained. There is no way she could see, let alone smell, don TJ's fine puro, so apparently the spark of the lighter was enough to cause this woman to have a hissy and impose her will on others by complaining. (A damn yankee, no doubt!)

But because the employee was so nice about it, don TJ agreed to relocate near the back of the deck to enjoy his puro. Well, no sooner had he sat down about 3 meters in front of an outdoor bar and lit his stick, another woman nearby began to make one of those faces we have all seen and complained the smoke bothered her breathing condition. So once again, the same employee asked if don TJ would mind moving to a little nook beside the bar at the back of the deck. They placed a small, round table and chair in the nook and as he was sitting down, they surrounded him with a red velvet rope!

So there he was, sitting behind the rope line; a freak on display - Come One! Come All! See the astonishing freak as he puffs on stick of fire and blows smoke out the hole in his head!

Don TJ later told me he was determined not to let the "normal" folk ruin my right to enjoy a fine puro and did his best to blow smoke in the direction of the woman with the (ahem...) "breathing condition." She and her mate eventually moved away. Victory!

On a positive note, several of the ship's employees commented on the sweet aroma emitting from don TJ's Siglo I as the walked past. Solidarity, Mates!

he is a true story; I was there. I hope you enjoyed it.

Hey RJ! You tell that story almost a well as the late, great don TJ.

[PeeJay]

Kudos RJ but I'm guessing you don't mean our North Sea.

[TJCoro]

North Sea Baby!

Kudos RJ but I'm guessing you don't mean our North Sea.

No, it was the North Sea.

Took off from the UK, then France , all the way up to Bergen and back to Amsterdam! Included stops in Scotland and Ireland and other cool (literally) places along the way.

And you sat out on the deck?! It must have been a very good summer, the North Sea is not a hospitable place.

[TJCoro]

PJ you dawg!

And you sat out on the deck?! It must have been a very good summer, the North Sea is not a hospitable place.

Haha! Well, I might be exercising a wee bit of "poetic license." The Coros have been on many cruises all over the western world and I'm not sure on which this event occurred, but I thought it would be fun to have it take place on a cruise ship near you

Now bugger off, se?or PeaJay you dawg...ya' bother me!
