A genuine question...

There's a few women who frequent Astoria Cigars down here, sometimes alone and sometimes with their partners.

Pandora Your Instagram feed is always interesting and well curated 👍

I might just have to head over Kent way when all of this stuff blows over. I do enjoy sharing a smoke with others, and whilst at the moment it is all virtual, I would love to get out and meet some cigar sisters and brothers in real life.

And thank you for your complement Horsebox 🙏🏻 It can be a bit frustrating battlling the algorithm at times, but I enjoy sharing the pictures and my notes about the cigars with others.

Good to see support!

I would go as far as to say I'd prefer not seeing scantily clad pictures of people smoking or people gushing over pictures in a 'sexist' way on here. Obviously Peejay's picture is of his wife enjoying with a cigar, is more than fine and doesn't fall into either category! I think we all know what I meant before I get myself into trouble!

I follow a number of scantily clad women cigar smokers, but I will clarify that a good number are in Florida, South America and other hot climates where much more than a bikini is decidedly overdressed. I also know that they really do smoke the cigars that they are holding.

There is a tendancy for the "chicks and sticks" comparison to be made, and I myself have been asked to wear less and pose with bigger cigars, which I personally found very offensive. It is so refreshing to hear that the majority of people respect cigar smokers as cigar smokers whoever they are ❤

Just leading on from your comments about being asked to pose with bigger cigars, my wife tried a Macanudo I was smoking and her comment was, "If I was to smoke cigars properly I'd like something like this one but I'm not sure if I want something so big in my mouth'. I felt quite inadequate I can tell you.

MrsB occasionally has one of my milder cigars, but usually has a try of whatever I am smoking. When we have been in Havana, she will always have a very mild cigar wherever we are.
