What are some things people have said to you, not necessarily stupid but strange or unexpected that have just caught you off guard or whatever, in relation to smoking

Like once I had a woman come up to me and say she had no idea that cigar smoking was such an art or process and she went on to explain that she had watched me go from out of the travel humi to lighting and that it's so deliberate and interesting.

Or I've asked people if the smoke is bothering them just being polite if I'm in a place not necessarily cigar specific and they say no actually it smells good.

Also love the look on the faces of people that walk in to cigar bars and get asked to put their cigarettes out. Lol I understand how they feel but hey there are smoking places that won't allow stogies.

Most recent "excuse me can I have the end when your done? my husband likes to smoke them in his pipe"- complete stranger. This older lady was actually walking past my house and saw me lighting the cigar and must have come back about 40 min later to see if I was done, then walked all the way up my drive way waved and asked me that. She's been back twice since.....

I was just getting to the end of a good smoke as I pulled into a WalMart parking lot so I decided to drop the nub into the ash container by the door. A middle aged daughter was walking to the door at the same time along with her elderly mother. As I was taking my final puff and dropping it into the can she turned to her mom and said "Ooh do you smell that? Doesn't that remind you of Dad?"

I was helping a mother and her 15 yr old daughter at my pharmacy on Friday. They were picking up birth control. I proceed to tell her that it is free for her daughter now on her plan, and the mother says,"Oh great, now you can have all the sex you want." She said she was just kidding, but who knows.

What does that have to do with nam, Shark?

The question was about smoking.

Maybe the family name was Lewinski?

When I was up in Alaska this summer, it was a bitch finding places to smoke. I couldn't in the rental, didn't want to in the hotel rooms, so I finally ended up a hotel with a beautiful deck. We were sitting out there watching some movie on the iPad, and I had been debating about firing one up. Another couple was further down the deck and we knew they had just ordered a pizza. I don't know anyone that really wants to eat around the smoke, so I wasn't going to fire one up till they left. Eventually Karen convinced me they could eat indoors if it bothered them enough.

Halfway through some Tat Monster they are about to go back to their room, and the guy comes up to me and asks what I'm smoking. Turns out, he had smoked for years and finally stopped, but still loved the smell of them. He just wanted to come by and enjoy the smoke for a minute, then they took off.

I've been yelled at for my cigars in casinos before, even when I was within smoking areas. I always check that I'm okay to smoke first-don't want the establishment telling me no, and losing a good cigar. Alaska was the first time I've had someone ask about the cigar, and be interested in it, but not actually be a smoker.

Had a friend tell me that when she was smoking her first cigar she happened to be at a party where an undercover cop asked her if it had weed in it.

I had a woman tell me one time when I was smoking at a Fourth of July get together, "that cigar is really smelling (with a scrunched face and waving hand)." If I hadn't been a guest I would have responded, "I know, it's great!"
