Smoking on the Road

[Zeede]

I have had friends who smoked cigarettes and there were always guys mooching cigarettes at the local smoking gathering spot. I gather this isn't true with cigars?

I find this true with me too. Smoke more on vacation and pack a herfador. I also carry a key chain punch. Pack 2 lighters into the herf sealed in a ziplock bag and try to book a balcony. I don't think I'm committed enough for a phone app, but that's neat they make one. I have been carrying around the top to an old coffee grinder for an ashtray. It has a slanted top and long tab to hold my cigar, and fits into a cup holder. I do most my smoking in the car if I'm on a solo trip, and just use the wind to ash, but the ashtray comes in handy for the balcony. I keep the driver's side window cracked, and close the vents to protect the air filter. I always look for rules, but rarely see any smoking rules posted for balconies. Hope I'm not the one motivating them to add them! Never had any complaints though.

I'd be shocked if a random stranger approached you to bum a cigar anywhere. Cigarettes are cheap and people have them by the pack so it's not a big deal to bum one but cigars are a whole different smoking experience entirely. Friends bumming cigars on the other hand..

Agreed. A stranger asking would be strange (but it has happened to me at B&Ms), but I always offer when my friend(s) might want one. I know most of them well enough, I know how many and which ones to pack.

Never been mooched at a cigar spot of any sort.. Well last night a drunken Georgia Peach wanted a puff. Of course I declined
