Right here... picked up stogie smokin' in the Army.

Took some effort, but hunted down the incredibly rare Series Land Rover cigar lighter for Grover. Look closely at the pic; the gauge below the lighter has an exposed light, I made a shield for it out of a cigar tube.

I picked cigars up from the military too.

Smoked a John Bull Dark Hour today while exploring West Bowl in Southern Montana today.

I enjoy a cigar most evenings at home, on the trail, at camp, or at work at the firehouse. I good cigar always helps wind down a long day. I have a travel humidor that holds 5 cigars well and keeps them fresh. Recently purchased a few of the Line Of Duty Cigars.... I've been impressed and will continue to purchase.

I had tried cigars a handful of times, before the military, even snuck one with my older brother and cousins at a wedding when I was 6.

Still, the Army is when it really got started - will never forget that 1st Army cigar. Was out in the middle of nowhere on a training exercise and I was a Cadet in charge of my first unit. After a successful completion the Training Officer gave me and a couple other cadets cigars. He said "the successful completion of a mission requires a good cigar".

I tend to smoke a couple a week. I have a full size humidor, a 5 cigar size for my vehicle and a 30 for when I’m in the field or on a big fire. Ive had some davidoff grand cru #2 this weekend that were superb.

Haha all-hazard here. In the wintertime we cover 50 straight miles of interstate that go through a mountain pass. Slide offs and roll overs for days. Though with this insane heat wave we’ve had it’s more wildland fires in January than anything elss

Cigars no, although I have in the past.

Pipe? Yes, daily.

I just don't have the time to slot to burn a cigar, and it doesn't matter the cigar I can't go with a relit cigar (that has been out for any appreciable period)

What's this "after a long day on trail"? I pop the back vent window, roll em down, and chomp on one through the whole. Helps me not tense up. Then have another picked out for camp. If its an event I stick the humidor in the drawers, otherwise I grab a smaller wooden cigar box and get a fresh Boveda pack to keep em fresh. My favorites are La Aroma de Cuba, San Cristobal, and Rocky Patel, but I usually just grab whatevers on sale. I'll also do pipe tobacco occasionally.
