Popular Post jwr0201 Posted March 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2017 A week ago, MUH DUH ROW and I went to a local favorite coffee house hangout to enjoy some good coffee and a few prized Cubans. There was an art show on the main drag, so lots of people and bikini watching to do. MDR arrived early and looking to be courteous, picked out a table outside off to the side, well away from others in the front courtyard area. Coffee enjoyed and cigars gleefully burning, the area began to get busy. We had been there about an hour and a half when a rather scrawny lone ranger chose a table in front of us. Being outdoors and a nice breezy day, we unexpectedly received an inquiry as to how long we intended to stay. Then something about if we intended to "smoke all of those things". I was proud of MDR when he beat me to an answer, informing the inquisitive interloper that if we were to smoke them all, it would be days. Or something like that. Then MDR asked in his most soothing voice, "why doseth thou ask". Well, not exactly like that, but you get the jist of it. The irritating inquisitor turned his back on us and mumbled that we knew why. Bad move! We happily puffed away and enjoyed our caffiene and wonderful cigars while lamenting our next anticipated purchases and what we wished Rob would put up next! The pest promptly left. Chalk one more up to the good guys!!! 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ken Gargett Posted March 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2017 yes, one does try and be courteous but when tossers assume that they can lob an hour after you and then have you stop doing what you are legally entitled to, it does get the back up. i remember being in helsinki and went outside a pub to smoke at a table on the footpath. there was no one else there, at any table - it was a bit cold and about 10 in the morning - and the pub had no problem, they brought me out an ashtray. then i spot this woman walking up the street towards me. she is making faces and waving her hands about to clear the imaginary smoke from about 20 feet away from me. the problem was that there was a good breeze blowing, coming from behind her towards me. a pack of bulldogs could not have smelt a thing from her position. it was all for show and there was only her and me there. so i made absolutely certain i puffed out as much smoke as i could as she did get near to me so she could actually smell what it was really like. if she had not carried on, i would have held off taking a puff as she walked by. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 When I think of the Dalai Lama I think of his appearance on Masterchef a few years ago or his shopping adventure in Coles at Neutral Bay. I mean would the Pope or the Queen do that? Dalai Lama...right on, punch on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 A few years ago we were all at an end of year get together and we ended up at Dean Merlo's local Lawn bowls club. We had been happily chucking the big black balls at the little white one and after Rob and I were standing out by the gate smoking cigars. This girl came up to us and asked what kind of marijuana we were smoking. F#@$k I laughed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Orion21 Posted March 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2017 I was in Florida recently enjoying a work trip in Naples, but had the opposite interaction. I was staying a the Ritz-Carlton and when checking in was told I was in a non-smoking room, which is no problem. I was assuming I would enjoy my cigars on the beach, on one of the many patios around the property etc. However, when I got to my room I found a I had beautiful balcony with a view of the ocean with seating! I called down stairs and asked that if I was placed in a non-smoking room if I was permitted the smoke on the balcony and was told yes, but please make sure my sliding door was shut. Then the concierge asked if it was cigarettes or cigars. I told her I would be smoking cigars and within five minutes I was brought an ashtray from the downstairs bar that sells cigars. My new favoritew hotel! Fast forwards an hour and I was picking out my cigar and went outside to enjoy the view. I looked to my left and my heart dropped... On the patio not six feet from me were a bunch of children's swim gear. You see, the one thing I am overly sensitive to when smoking is smoking in proximity to children. But they weren't out there and I figured they wouldn't be spending much time on the balcony considering the beach and pools close by. I'm halfway into a beautiful Siglo VI watching some dolphins swim near the beach when I hear the sliding glass door from the adjacent room. A woman comes out and excitedly yells to her brood inside "babies come here dolphins!" My heart sinks again, lol! We make eye contact and both smile at each other and I say "My apologies, I am happy to put this down while your out here with your kids. I have kids myself, so no big problem." And you know what she tells me "Don't be silly! It's just a cigar and you obviously are enjoying it. Anyway, I love the smell." I laughed and said she was my new favorite person and I continued to smoke away. I always love when I run into understanding and kind people. Cheers! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Reminds me of the time five years or so back a mate and I went to Siglo in Melbourne on a Friday night after work. It's basically one of only two places where smoking cigars is still permitted in the city. It is, for all intents and purposes, a cigar bar (and one of the last remaining). We're 20 minutes or so into our first CC (SLR Regio from memory) enjoying the evening and a few drinks when a couple of women come in, dressed to the nines. They politely ask if they could use the other end of the couch we were on. Sure. "No worries, it's all yours." My mate and I continue our conversation when just minutes later I notice that familiar look of constipated disapproval and the over-dramatic hand-over-face waving technique so often employed by the disapproving. "Ahem, would you mind?" comes the unwelcome suggestion. "No, not at all," I reply, taking a puff while pulling out a couple of churchills and placing them on the table in front. "These beauties are up next." Needless to say they left unimpressed and I had done my good deed for the day. After all, it is a goddamn cigar bar! It's like these people go out of their way to find something that 'offends' them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
