What music do you listen to when smoking cigars?

[Edicion]

Normally I would go for something like Buena Vista Social Club, but have to admit I'm deep into a Bob Marley period again. I feel it goes really well with the mood of smoking cigars. What do you enjoy listening to? 

[Fuzz]

Depends on my mood, who I am with and what's the weather like. Mostly it will be easy listening jazz, as I normally smoke with a group of friends. Sometimes I will play some 50s/60s rock, Buena Vista Social Club, or just let Spotify continue to play on from whatever I chose earlier. Other times I will get a specific hankering to listening to the Beach Boys, Beatles, Meatloaf, Buble, or whatever.

The music just adds to the overall ambience of the occasion.

We're talking smoking cigars, right?

[anacostiakat]

Same here.  Depends on my mood. Because I have a wide range of genre's that I like.  Acid Jazz, Funk, Doo-Wop, Motown R&B, Vintage Country, Bluegrass, Western Swing, Big Band, Cuban/Latin, Ska/Reggae, Blues.  LOL

Also have been listening to a lot of Bob Marley.  Sirius/XM has a new channel in his honor.  Very much like Stick Figure too right now.

[Mickey D]

Usually southern blues rock, classic rock, older country (‘80s-‘90s), Waylon, Willie, Cash, David Allan Coe...

• When drinking Cuban rum and wearing my guayabera or barong - Buena Vista Social Club
• All other times, generally jazz or continental (Dzihan & Kamien)

[Hibauchery]

Usually Pink Floyd or Steely Dan / Donald Fagen.  Some noir jazz or blues.

[La_Tigre]

Usually Ibrahim Ferrer or Celia Cruz if the ones picking the music.

I have a specific cigar music that I listen to that’s just instrumental. It’s mainly from a musician Jan Hammer but I have some instrumental songs from movie/tv-shows like blood diamond, I am legend etc. but Jan Hammer is my go to.

A few of my favorite Jan hammer songs if anyone’s interested.

[kcmontie]

I’m a old country and western kinda guy. 🤠

also reggae, jam bands and some new country music.

  So far this Spring it's been a CD I found at a library stock sale: French Cafe Accordion Music.

  Actually pretty relaxing in the early warm spring sunshine, to be honest I think the neighbors are just happy the Highland Cathedral album has been given a rest...

A little bit of everything.  My playlists look like a psychopath put them together, pick a genre and it’s represented 

[Digi]

Heavy stuff, real heavy stuff!  I curate a small playlist of faves here: 

Take a listen to "FU" by Sordid Pink - currently last on the list.  You haven't heard anything like it before

Normally I watch sports while having a cigar. If I am going to specifically listen to music while I have a cigar, I put my Cuban music playlist on. If I am going to do that it is normally on a weekend afternoon or evening sitting on the deck in the summer.

Pachelbel’s Canon in D. Or some Vivaldi or Bach. Depends on the day of the week/mood.

 

Weekend it’s kickass rock to get me pumped up.

 

Yea, the classical leaves my family scratching their heads too. 😬

[Lycosa]

All sorts of stuff. Hip hop, funk, soul, trap, drill, rock, metal, pop, r&b, electronic music. It's a mixed bag.

I've recently discovered salsa through El Gran Combo De Puerto Rico, great stuff and fits cigar smoking quite well! I actually discovered them thanks to the My Father cigars website, they have (or had) one of their songs playing on the website. Great songs to check out include Achilipu, Me Libere, Brujeria, La Loma Del Tamarindo, and Un Verano En Nueva York.

I love classical.  Technically you named Baroque figures, but I really enjoy a lot from Vivaldi.  I tend to lean more toward the Romantic period, Beethoven, Brahms, Grieg, Schubert, but they are all good.  After a stressful day, this is a great way to decompress after the family has gone to sleep.  A good cigar is always my companion, along with an Old Fashioned.

[Nevrknow]

I’m just a good ole boy so “classical” is a catch all term for us.

Thanks for the heads up. Now I can really chaff an ass when I correct them. 😬

” It is Baroque. Not “classical “. You heathens.”

Then I’ll play some kid rock. Just because. 😂😂😂

For the past few weeks it’s been a lot of formula one news & analysis. On the music front I range from older rock & blues like Rory Gallagher to various Afro-Cuban playlists. 

[Shrimpchips]

Musical choice has recently been some deep house playlists, but if I’m really wanting to savor and concentrate on flavors, then no music or other distractions.  Also now that baseball is back, a beer and cigar is a great way to catch the game.

[CHPSteve]

Blues is my go to more often than not when I’m enjoying a cigar. There’s just something about a good cigar, good drink and a good blues playlist. It just works for me. 

[Paladin865]

I have Sirius satellite radio, almost every genre known to man. I like classic rock, country, 80's metal, blues and jazz. I was listening to music written by Jim Steinman who just recently passed away.

[WLC]

I seldom listen to music while smoking a cigar. Usually sit on my front porch and just listen to the sounds of nature and enjoy a bit of quiet relaxation.

[Chibearsv]

Lots of different music....Jethro Tull Songs From the Wood right now
