Cigar etiquette

[Mike72]

I have had a few occasions when people have come up to me after I had a cigar to tell me how good it smelt or to tell me a little storey about how they once had a cigar. Not however from those that are sitting in a smoking area, then give you the evil eye - and then move tables

i was sat outside a bar in Lithuania recently having a smoke and i heard a guy ask his mate 'who's smoking a cigar' i didn't react but he found me. he was from London and we sat for about 40 mins while i finished my smoke and we had a beer and a chat about the hobby.

always offer a nod... and an appropriate Morning/ afternoon/ evening ...! the rest unfolds...

So I'm having lunch with the wife today at a local cafe in the North London burbs. Guy, youngish, 30's?, casually walks past smoking what could have been a Libertador! I definitely saw the LCDH band and I think it was a Bolivar band.

Should I have rushed out and made his acquaintance!? There are so few of us around!

I know it's not the done English thing to rush strangers!

Or is there an equivalent of the bikers nod?

A secret handshake?

IDK...

What do/would you do?

I guess at least we would notice as it is such a rare species.

Maybe we should start a specific nod or gesture or something?

I doubt I would start speaking to someone just walking past in the street.

I usually speak to anyone smoking a cigar, we are a dwindling band & usually happy to converse with like minded brothers. In Portugal I wore our UKCF label badge but it didn't attract any enquires.

I have spoke to quite a few folk that cross my path in a cosa ...it tends to be in cigar places so conversation is sparked up

If it was a non cigar area and the person was near I would engage ... don?t that I would run down the street after them lol

I usually attract attention as my sister and the other half?s sister enjoy a puro too
