Favorite Music to enjoy while enjoying a good smoke?

[smokepiper]

I've been into Buena Vista Social Club lately. What better than a fine smoke a mojito and Cuban Jazz.

I'm wishin' I was in the backyard now.

I am more of a metal head, but I agree with what has been said about the relaxing part. I'll put on some rock like Rush, Live, or Led Zep. That way I still have a little edge without getting riled up. Otherwise if I am in the garage puttering around, it's the ball game.

If I am by myself than the Band and or Dylan, with others then the iPod is on shuffle.

The only time I seem to listen to music with a cigar is when I'm at a smoking buddies house, and at his house it's always Classic Rock. My musical tastes are ALL over the place (Pennywise, Beatles, Keith Urban, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Portishead, New Order, Social Distortion, Jimmy Buffet, Aimee Mann, Kenny Chesney, Beastie Boys, Minutemen, DMB, you name it I like it). But if I had an evening free to sit out on my back patio in a lounge chair with a scotch and a good cigar, I'd put on Luna Negra (Ottmar Liebert). Probably would be some good smokin' music.

Mixed array of music but to really mellow out and imagine what it would be like to live the good ol days - I'll tune into Singers & Soundtracks on XM - good ol Frank & Elle Fitz playing some good tunes.

[Moro]

Bob Marley is the option. "Roots, rock, reggae..."!

BLUES,BLUES,BLUES

[IndyRob]

I think a lot depends on my mood.

These are some of the artists I really enjoy listening to while smoking though: Rodrigo Y Gabriella, Paco de Lucia, Jesse Cook, Opeth (Damnation), Johnny Cash and Albert King.

My old bass instructor turned me on to James Jamerson a few years ago and I love listening to Motown now. How Long Has That Evening Train Been Gone (The Supremes), classic Motown stuff.

Blues and cigars go together like ham and cheese for me. I usually find an online blues radio to listen too, since there is no good stations around here.

Opera. I even like the early stuff.

Mostly Jazz, but I'm usually listening to or playing/practicing Jazz for most of my waking hours.

Portishead is great for chilling and being "thoughtful." Something similar (in that it's dreamy/moody) but with more of a rock edge is Team Sleep, fronted by Chino of Deftones fame.

Movie Soundtracks are great too, especially if you're feeling particularly epic. Sin City, Last of the Mohicans...but the greatest soundtrack of all time has got to be Conan the Barbarian.
