LeafLover Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 What would be your favorite music to smoke a stogie to? I'm gonna download all your songs and make it a "Habano Compilation." I will play it when me and my buds get together to smoke our fave habanos and tell them this is what all the serious habano smokers around the world listen to when they celebrate the leaf...............Leaf Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolivr Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Not so serious CC smoker here. Mostly Latin. Any type, Buena Vista Social Club (fairly obviously), but also some of the newer stuff. A couple of years ago there was Reggaeton - Cuban Revolucion and I just picked up a fresh disk I can't remember right now, it combines latin with funk, hip-hop, a real mixture. I will look it up and post back. Edit: the new CD is Gilles Peterson presents Havana Cultura - New Cuba Sound. Double CD on Brownswood Recordings. Loving it.

Right now I've been listening to jazz; Nina Simone, Miles Davis; and something a little newer Melody Gardot. Some good selections from those would be: Nina Simone- Sinnerman Melody Gardot- Who will comfort me, Your heart is as black as night Miles Davis- Love for sale, So what Great thread by the way.

Colt45 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 As I smoke outside, more often than not there is no music - I'm usually quite happy to listen to the birds and the wind in the trees. But when I do, I have a couple of playlists in itunes which includes quite a bit of Latin, more mainstream jazz (Karrin Allyson is a current fave), reggae, accordion music, and so on. I usually don't listen to the heavier stuff while I'm smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I have a selection I have made over the years which includes a couple of hundred favourite tunes. I can't escape the music I grew up with in my 20's and 30's + some modern extensions. SPRINGSTEEN. JUST THE BOSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.HOBS Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Usually anything that is super mellow and helps keep the vibe of a good, relaxing smoke. And Radiohead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloth Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 you know.... i don't really listen to music when smoking. I'm either bullshitting, watching college football, or watching a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellery Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Usually some old jazz (Coltrane, Miles Davis, etc) but recently old Motown. Started listening to vinyl again. I bought a record player and 2 boxes of records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't escape the music I grew up with in my 20's and 30's + some modern extensions.Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Breeders (cannonball), Raconteurs, Death Cab for Cutie, REM, Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Talking heads, Hoodoo Guru's, Soundgarden, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. El Pres, I am with you, triple j hottest 100 from the early to mid 90s... Can I give an honourable mention to Janis Joplin "Kozmic Blues" I just discovered this 40 year old recording and man, she can rock a tune. If you like Sharon Jones are the Dap Kings this is in the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aavkk Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I personally love some old school Carlos Santana and Clapton. Zappa rocks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The type of music totally depends on my mood...but usually it will be the Gypsy Kings, Dave Matthews or George Clinton and george Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic. However, like Colt, I usually prefer the sounds of nature or the city when I smoke at night. When I'm smoking with friends, I never turn on the music as the conversation at hand is always sufficient.

BTW, thanks FOH for the great ideas....Leaf Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesuscookies Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I enjoy listening to music, but rarely do when I am having a stogie. Basically I am outside, or in the garage while smoking. The wife and kids are in den where the tunes are... So no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJack Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Props to El Pres on good taste in rock. Superunknown is on my top 5 list. I mostly listen to electronic/ambient/idm stuff when trying to relax with a cigar. Boards of Canada, Proem, that kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSteelers Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Been realy enjoying smoking to the new Ray Davies disc "The Kinks Choral Collection" Great collection of Kinks music and Ray Davies songs done with a full choir. Some real unexpected songs on here not just a worn out greatest hits collection! Wish I could catch this live somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
