Smoking Alone Vs. With People
I was walking back from my B&M tonight and i was thinking about how when i smoke there vs. smoking at home i alone i tend to note focus on the cigar and the flavors like i do when im alone. I can tell i am enjoying the cigar but the specific flavors i dont tend to remember. I might remember one or 2 but not the same as if i was alone. So i was wondering if its me or do you guys notice the same thing?

Typically when Im smoking with freinds I have more than 1 so I typically pick my cigars to build in profile.
I do prefer to smoke with friends as opposed to alone. Alone is fine, but sometimes I get a little antsy.
With friends its fun to while the time away.
i find that i tend to pull less complex smokes while with friends.
Hi Everyone,
My very first post! I've been a lurker of this site for about a good year or so now. I'll actually be attending the upcoming herf event in Lincoln, CA.
I say smoke with friends. With any good smokes or drinks, I like to share it with my friends. There is a definate joy for me when I have friends that appreciate it just as much as I do.

hey Kaspera79,
i'm from the bay area (northern california). my favorite stick is the padron 1926 series maduro. i absolutely love it. i think it's the best balanced peppery, creamy, nougat, hazlenutty, etc stick that i have found. the only thing is, it's a bit expensive and premium (for me). so i try to make it a 'celebration' stick (i smoke it once a month. i guess i celebrate alot?) lately, I'm loving the Diesel shorty and unholy cocktails. what an amazing spice bomb that things got.
thanks for the invite! looking forward to many more posts
hey Hays. thanks for the welcome! i am fully intending to stick around and learn, chat, herf, etc with you guys. looking forward to the herf session too. my buddy suneet and i are planning to get the man of war badge there.
good smokes, food, drinks, a little gambling. what else can you ask for?

Hays: can we give this Missouri boy a little rookie hazing at the Casino herf?
I prefer smoking cigars with a friend, in this case Jiunn. We tend to order the same thing and try them together cuz it helps have someone to bounce ideas off of in terms of the experience and what you think you taste, and just developing the palate. Plus that way if you both think a cigar sucks, you know it just isnt your bias.
haha thanks for the warm forum welcome suneet and boyd.
what would hazing be? having grape swisher sweets?
Moving on.. I tend to smoke alone mostly. None of my friends smoke cigars and while my best friend does smoke pipes usually if he's around us and our women are playing risk or killer bunnies so I'll light up a cigar though i don't smoke the really complex or expensive stuff. I find that when I smoke around other people I don't pick up much from the cigar.
