Like the perfect cigar, the smoker’s lifestyle is one focused on enjoyment and relaxation. At Puff Lifestyle, we discuss all avenues of lifestyle - great hotels that are cigar friendly, fantastic wines, cigar friendly dining, cool gadgets, lighters that actually work, hand carved cedar humidors...you get the idea. But we also cover the down to earth lifestyle interests as well: the most enjoyable reasonably priced cigars, best vacations on a budget, and the best way to stretch a buck...which has never been more important. Nothing is off topic!
No matter where a cigar smoker goes or who he’s with, time must be allocated for the proper amount of quality smoking. Is there a smoke shop anywhere near your intended destination? Are there any smoke friendly places at all – bars, restaurants, churches? Will your company mind if you smoke? I mean, you gotta have your nightly stogie…right? Damn, I love my cigars. And if you’re like me, it’s important to spend time with your Honduran, Dominican, and Nicaraguan friends. And some of your little pals may even be from the island 90 miles south of Miami, Florida, but we’ll just keep quiet about that.
Welcome back to another installment of the Puff FAQ, where I strive to answer your most frequently asked questions, whether they be from the newbie smoker or the veteran gorilla. This issue I will be tackling questions including the most infamous of them all: should I leave the cellophane on or off my cigar? Keep reading, as the answer may surprise you.
Yeah, every day of the year was meant for smoking our precious cigars. Whether you do one a week, one a day, or five times a day, it’s always the right time for a good cigar. But a holiday seems to be an especially good time to have a smoke with friends and family, celebrating the good things in life together.
Oh how I love good food – man food, the kind of meaty good stuff that God sent to us in the form of four-legged critters. Any meat that is red (steaks and burgers, burgers and steaks) and grilled on an open flame is mucho delicioso. Any pork product (ribs, chops, loin) that is smoked, cured, killed and grilled is my kind of stuff. Any chicken (wings, thighs, breasts or beer canned) that is battered, fried, wing sauced or charred over fire is for me. And let’s not forget the lamb chops. Yessuh! I really should weigh 500 pounds but I think that will eventually catch up to me in later years when I’m older and crustier.
I’m telling you that I could go to a cigar dinner every single night of the week. Of course I’d weigh six hundred pounds, smell like a junkyard fire, and women would never come near me. Ah, such is the price of a great time with some great cigars.
