Weekend Poll Comp: What's your favourite accompaniment to a cigar?

[Fuzz]

You can be in the greatest location in the world, smoking the best cigar, with the finest liquor...but nothing compares with having your mates around!

[BigGuns]

Mates and music is my “other” combo. This QD52 started tonight sharing time with one of my best friends who just returned from burying his father in Greece and now it’s finishing with music. My place of peace and reflection.

My absolute favourite place is on a semi private beach near where we live in the South West UK.

Sounds nice👌 would like to see a photo of this beach one day if you can pull it off.

I may actually prefer smoking alone in my yard with some relaxing music...bossa nova, jazz etc

I like hanging on my deck with a cold beer & some good music with my dog, Filbert. Summertime heat can be brutal so Spring & Fall really call for these moments so long as the sky isn't dropping rain.

On the deck, warm weather, just enjoying the sun and the cigar.

Tough one but I chose listening to music as I think great music enhances a cigar amazingly. Cuban music pairs with and enhances a good cigar as well as any other magical pairing I can think of. 

Sports are a big one for me. Just lit a Punch DC for hoops.  

Peace and quiet at home alone, my favorite lounge, is where I light my best stuff. 

I have one best buddy I grew up with who I see 2-3x a year mostly for fishing trips who really appreciates cigars. He recently discovered Bond Roberts thank God. Always something I look forward to.We usually plan our next trip over cigars each trip.

Side note, why don't my pictures embed, am I doing something wrong?

No, it's just that Apple format HEIC images have to be converted to another format like jpg etc. to do so.

For me it is either alone with my dog in my background enjoying a quiet and a cold beer or with a couple of good buddies. During Covid when we were sent to work from home we starting meeting in a local park every Friday afternoon weather permitting. It was a nice way to stay connected in person during the period of social isolation.

On the deck with friends, my wife, and our three dogs. Pictured is Havana, my 40th birthday present last year (and our confirmation to the nuthouse).

Favorite cigar bar — cigar bar and grill in San Francisco. Early hours it’s quiet and peaceful, later hours the bands come out and there’s dancing. Full bar, and a solid kitchen to boot. Love it here.

Girlfriend is at work, just me and the dogs enjoying the view. I love smoking with friends and family, but all time favorite is lighting up an amazing cigar with zero distractions and a great view.

Ardbeg has been rocking it for me lately. Fishing solo of late, Diet Coke or Pepsi Max does the trick.

This'll be the third time I've tried to respond to this, the forum gods are not liking what I do.

I've got very few photos but the Mrs friend got a couple. Cannot wait to get back out there.
