Posted at: 7:11 pm There’s something about a good cigar that brings men together. Perhaps it is the long period of time (the best will take at least 25 minutes to smoke) that it takes to smoke one. Perhaps it is the whispy clouds of smoke that rise from the cigar itself. Sharing a cigar with another guy really is a token of friendship and love. It makes you feel good. Cigarettes, while more expensive than they used to be, cost much less and take much less time to smoke. Pipes, which are probably much more pleasant to the non-smoker, are just too much work…draw, tamp, light, tamp, draw, tamp…it’s a pain in the posterior. But cigars, oh the cigars. What a great way to spend a few minutes with a guy. You cut, light, draw and stand there for a while watching the world go by. Pleasant and not too stuffy, cigars are just a cut above the normal things in life and let us separate ourselves from the day-to-day for a few minutes. I smoke for fun. I don’t care too much for those who would come up to me and judge me when smoke is rising from whatever is in my hand. “That will kill you.” they say…yeah. The same thing always goes through my mind… “Brilliant”. Life is deadly. Perhaps it is just the fact that you are spending some time with a brother that makes cigars so great. It also doesn’t matter if you know the guy when you start smoking that cigar. With any social skills whatsoever, a cigar smoker will befriend most quite easily…that’s just the way it is. Nothing beats a good cigar… |

I recall fondly the fall nights when I lived in Alexandria VA, enjoying a fine cigar and discussing the finer merits of Big Ten versus SEC versus Big 12 football with my good friend from Texas.

I completely agree with that sentiment brother! My friends call me an old man for it (I just turned 27 yesterday), but nothing really beats a good cigar (a Davidoff or Dunhill) and a nice single malt scotch. I guess I have an old soul like that, but even in college taking a nice little break from everything lighting one up and reading the New York Times are a lot more memorable than all of the parties that whirled by!

I’m right there with ya brother. I love a good cigar. A friend of mine got married and had his honeymoon in Jamaica. I ended up having to do some stuff for him while he was gone, and to show his appreciation he brought me back a bottle of Jamaican rum, and a Cuban cigar. It was a great unexpected present. Take it easy man.

Well, you know my feelings, since you have smoked so many good cigars with me. There is indeed a kinship to life, that only a good cigar can kindle from the soul. Oh! I’ll take a nice glass of single malt as well, make it a double.
