Never again ?

A good laugh at a cigar nightmare for me. I always have cigars with me and I smoke in the car, not when other people are in the car....except my son. Smoking a beautiful cigar while I’m driving keeps me sane in a insane traffic world. That’s one of the reasons I moved to the country almost 30 years ago, Bay Area traffic is crazy. I think that’s also when I switched from pot to cigars while driving. If I’m driving a mile to the store I don’t smoke...otherwise wherever I’m going is a smoke ride. I even keep a panic cigar or 2 in the car.....except when the weather gets warm.

Today I was going to my property to wack weeds....12 minutes away...though about taking cigars, but had to stop for a gallon of gas for the machine and I knew I’d be hot and sweaty when I finished so no cigar. A few miles down the highway everything stops for road work...thought about going back for cigars or just blowing it off, but I didn’t want to lose my place and I need a day of recovery before I try and hit a golf ball. It was only 20 minutes, but I was laughing about being caught without cigars, and no panic cigar. On the way home I wasn’t laughing...1 1/2 to get back. Talk about a perfect time for a cigar. Made me appreciate the JL 2 I was planning to review even more ?

I feel your pain. I commute to the Bay Area 4 days out of the week minimum. Bought a commuter car to smoke stogies in.

As a contractor, I live on the road. Always stock up in the morning before I start my day to keep me leveled in traffic.

I had a project once down by the beach in the OC. 3 hour drive home. Smoked a Churchill a day back then.

It was a ritual. Start the truck. Take off the shoes. Turn the AC on high. Get the windows just right. Clip. Set up the ashtray. Open the bottle of water. Light up... Make a left turn and head for the parking lot (aka the freeway).

I feel your pain.

Thank God I can (generally) run my project from my home office now! I fly once every week or two, and that is bad enough.

Thanks for sharing. -Piggy

           *I don't know how "off - subject" this might be: but when I'm out and I see someone smoking what is obviously (to those of us who know how to recognize it) a quality cigar, I want soooo bad to go and ask them what it is. But being a woman, and out in public at a place where a man (99.9% of the time) is smoking "one of those" as he hopes he can...I can't ask what it is without their response nearly always being, "Is this bothering you?" And I have to practically go through antics of assuring them, "NO! NO! NO!" and then have to find a way to let on that I'm not only one of the few women they probably know who loves and adores cigars - but that I've also been an aficionado of the leaf in the days before the 'BOOM' as it's known as in 1992.  So I usually fight down my driving desire to ask what they're smoking...until it may become clear that I can safely ask the question without their suddenly and quickly concluding that it's offending me.

I would just walk up and start of with I love the smell of that cigar flash the FOH gang signl ? and then ask what cigar it is.
