I am 39 would not consider I come across as typical looking cigar smoker.. quite often smoke in beer gardens, never had any negative comments actually had a few old boys come over and ask what I am smoking

I would say this is my experience, I don't generally smoke around others but if I do I get the impression that they think I'm trying to be flash, but that's not the case. We all enjoy our smokes and what's better than when having a drink with friends..

People that know me know I will sit in my garden and smoke or even when I'm doing the garden sometimes ..

And if that's what others think sod em I say 😂

I'm never smoking them to be flash and show off i just enjoy them and i agree its 100% better when your with others to smoke and put the world straight

I guess I wouldn't look like a "typical" cigar smoker either 33 years old this month and I'm never dressed "smart" always jeans T shirt and shirt and boots lol maybe that's why I get the looks not the sticks 😅 it doesn't bother me really just wondered If it was just me and it looks like it may be rare I just get unlucky hoping I get someone who will ask about it rather than look at me the way they do

I generally smoke at home, prefer the peace and relaxation at home..... however when I am out.... general never had anyone complain etc.
.but always a remark look at this guy and his cigar...we are just in a pub.

Sorry mate must have missed this I usually smoke alone at home but when I do go out I always get comments like that or just the look of who does he think he is smoking a cigar on a Tuesday

"Please can I come and sit next to you?" said one lovely lady.
"I just love the manly aroma of cigars!"
As I sat on Brighton front in my underwater at six in the morning having escaped from the nursing home.

In all honesty to the question.
There are individuals that smoke cigars that actually think it gives them a status in life higher than other people.
The majority of Joe public have no idea what a cigar costs, or understand this stupid ritual of lighting the bloody thing.
Sitting there in full view blow lamp in hand whafting it about at the end of what they think is a ?? sticking out of your mouth.
Enough to make anyone look at you suspiciously.

It is a bit unusual to see someone smoking a cigar just in a park or walking around, the image people have of cigars is one of celebration or the high life with brandy after dinner in your Downton Tux, so I guess it would be like walking around sipping Dom Perignon to most people and thus would draw looks as it seems out of place or perhaps showing off. I would take it as a compliment that you are not just another sheep of the masses.

You've been reading too many C.A. Magazines.....lol

Not read one, but I know what people think and frankly I would assume the same, cigars are a deliberate choice and very different to cigarettes and they send out certain messages as this thread shows, esp if smoking a Toro or Churchill.
