Smoking with altitude

[PeeJay]

I'm sitting in work listening to a young guy going on about how much more pleasurable smoking a cigarette was at high altitude in the Rockies, blah blah blah, but was wondering if this is actually true. Has anyone smoked a cigar at high altitude and did it make a difference?

Oxygen deprivation effect?

No, he was claiming it was due to the low humidity.

I've enjoyed fine puros in Alaska....that's pretty high. Does that count?


Boy, Bag Boy

I actually misread the title of this and thought pj said smoking with attitude.....images of John 'going all gangsta' on us... (think michell and webbs spitfire pilots sketches).

Last time I was at any altitude I was in no state to smoke.

Yeah I misread it to. The image I had was of an American biker, probably because I've been watching Sons of Anarchy recently

When I was a traffic cop I used to tell the occasional oik that they had an altitude problem and when they said 'Don't you mean attitude' told them they were getting above their station. It amused me, ho hum. tumbleweed.jpeg

Rockies aren't serious altitude Peejay .... Elbert, the highest is only 14,500ft .... some of the Alps are higher .... serious is Everest at 23,000ft. Breathing is difficult at that sort of height, smoking a cigar would be almost impossible for anyone who wasn't a Nepalese Sherpa.

I watched a program a few months back with TV Chef Heston Blumenthal and the prog was about the food they serve on planes and they said that they need to ad extra salt and pepper in the recipes to make it taste better as the pressure / altitude or reduction in oxygen did something to the blood and or taste buds.

This may make a smoke more smooth or enjoyable less ruff ???

You should see the looks you get when you light up a cigar on a plane. Miserable gits
