investandprosper Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Question for those who enjoy their cigars outdoors. Do you ever have bees buzzing around you while smoking? In my yard, there is a particular black carpenter bee who enjoys dive bombing me trying to get my cigar. Nothing like a giant bee coming at you to disrupt a good book and a good cigar!

Never had this problem. In what part of the world are you located?
Colt45 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 On my deck, all summer long. I don't bother them, they don't bother me.
Diamondog Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Last summer was a pain...constantly had wasps around...was a nest somewhere but could never find it, they disrupted my cigars many times!
Guest robustog Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I have never had a problem with bees but I have notice that when smoking a cigar it seems to attract butterflies, once done they go away. One time just to test I lit a second and they came back. Weird....
cigcars Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I don't smoke outside except for VERY rare occasions like a get-together of close family for cookout, etc. Never been bothered by ANY flying anything! In fact, while smoking indoors as usual if a fly gets into the house I blow my cigar smoke around him and he DROPS like a stunned boxer meeting Mike Tyson's "bad intention" fist! Then - he's mine - Mwuhahahahaha!
Duane Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 the only buzzing i get is my dog shih-tzu jumping on the chair next to me sniffing the smoke, think he wants his own maybe he was an cigar lover in his previous life
IcedCanuck Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I tend to smoke on my balcony which is 14 floors up and I rarely see insects. BBQs, camping, get together when I'm outside on ground level is a whole other story lol. I hear the Aussies have a device to shoo away those pesky insect vermin
habanos1972 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Smoke a non Cuban, that should drive them away :-)

He's a west highland terrier. I just have to click the cutter and he sticks to me like glue
