    I think most people most of the time enjoy a smoke more with someone else.I know I do. But smoking by one's self isn't bad, just not as good, IMO.

    I rarely get a chance to smoke with others im a bit out of the way for most of my friends to come over for a smoke. But I am able to take a little more time when smoking alone and actually enjoy the cigar to its fullest when i can focus on it alone.

    I don't mind smoking alone since none of my friends smoke I usually have no other option. The closest I get to smoking with friends is when I take a stick out to my weekly softball game.

    I smoke alone most of the time since I smoke while studying; that said, a lot of the best cigars I've ever had were smoked with my Dad out by the pool. Good company can really do wonders

    I hate smoking alone so I try to avoid it. I let my sticks sit in the humi and if my smokin buddy stops by we'll light up. When i sit outside and BBQ, smoking alone isn't as bad though.

    Almost always smoke alone. I have a cousin who smokes cigars but that is it. Once I took a fine lady on a date to a cigar bar and she smokes and it was real chill. Probably best to smoke with someone but I would rather smoke alone then not at all. Hey that makes a great sig.

    I like to stream some Dexter off of Netflix and light up a stick and just sit and chill by myself. I also like to smoke with friends

    When i smoke alone i usually smoke alot faster. i find when i am smoking with other people, it is more enjoyable. i think talking slows you down and lets the true flavor of the cigar emerge. That being said if it wasnt a 118 degrees outside today, i would be reclined in my backyard enjoying a nice smoke by myself. Guess i have to wait for the sun to go down.

    I generally smoke alone and enjoy it, it gives me time to reflect. That being said smoking with friends in a social setting is nice too. I guess I enjoy my cigars no matter what the setting!

    I almost always smoke alone, and I do get that nagging feeling sometimes, but more often than not I'm reminded that my cigar means an hour or two of "me time"...and that is pretty much priceless!

    When I smoke alone, I go outside with a radio and listen to sports talk radio and my computer. I love it and love some alone time but I still prefer to smoke with others.

    I like to keep it in balance... I love the meditative nature of smoking alone in the dark, exploring the nuances of not only the cigar in my hand, but of the day and life in itself. On the other hand, smoking with friends always leads to excellent conversation, and I'm a social creature, so this works excellently. If I find myself trending more towards one venue or the other, I tend to revert and re-balance.

    Smoking for me is usually an unwinder at the end of the day, my quiet time, so I usually smoke alone. Although I still strongly agree that smoking in good company is preferred, I just don't have that many friends that enjoy a fine cigar.

    Its always better with company, but i smoke most of time bymyself. Occasionally will go to B&M or Casa Fuente for a nice Mojito and a fine cigar, or at home with one of my smoking budies to discuss shitty economy, unemployment, sports and so on :)

    It's hard to find people my own age in California to smoke a cigar with who aren't either total d-bags or who are smoking flavored swishers or phillies, so I almost always smoke alone. I'm not complaining though :)

    I have always smoked alone. Don't know any of my friends who indulge. Most recently, I had the opportunity to smoke with an old friend. We were on our yearly week in Myrtle Beach to golf. One evening we were just sitting around after dinner chatting. He had expressed an interest earlier in cigars..so I brought out two "very special " stiks. For the next two hours we talked about the past and how things had gone for each of us. He is retired and had worked in the same company I had for over 35 years. That was the one and only time I have smoked with anyone. We had a marvelous conversation and I thoroughly enjoyed sharing. It was a very good experience, but I still enjoy the relaxation of smoking alone. It relaxes me and allows me to just not think about anything but the moment.

    It really depends on my mood. Most of the time I prefer to smoke alone because it's my time and I like to smoke, reflect, and sometimes just space out. Smoking with good friends has its obvious benefits. I've had many an awesome conversation with friends over a cigar.

    I'm with you here. I usually enjoy a smoke alone, as a one hour vacation or mental health break. I'll stop at the beach on my way to/from an appointment and grab a bench. But with the warm weatehr here, I will sometimes sit on the back deck at the end of the night, make some cocktails and have a stick while my wife and I relax and unwind. In the winter I'll go to my B&M, and there I'll have no choice but to be social. But I would prefer to have my local cigar lounge all to myself.

    Depends on my mood. I do like it when the gf comes out and sits with me and we talk. It gives us good alone time, she has a kid that lives with us. Other times I need some me time so it'll be me, a book and a nice smoke.

    I have gotten used to smoking alone and that's fine with me. It's my time to just relax forget about some stuff and just enjoy this great hobby of ours. I wouldn't mind smoking with company every now and then it's just that everyone around here smokes cigarets. People around here may look at me funny because I'd rather have a cigar and that's cool I don't care they don't know what they're missing.
