First off I’d like to apologize for my lack of participation since joining The Jungle. I know that the first 642 questions I’ll have can be answered with three simple words – “search the forum”. So as a n00b, I am spending all my time reading/searching and not actively participating.
Here's my first stab at discussion, or rather a chance for everyone to laugh at the n00b:
My wife is, uh, opposed to cigars, so to speak. As such I spend some effort trying to mask/hide/cover/reodorify as much as possible. Lengths I go to in order to enjoy a cigar include:
- My "smoking jacket". A long sleeve wool shirt I keep in the trunk of my car, and wear while I smoke, or when shopping in a B&M that allows smoking indoors. Wool is surprisingly good at not holding odor, so other closet smokers take note.
- Pocket flask of mouthwash in my bag.
- Hide my herfador on the top shelf of the back closet, far out of reach for those under about 5'10".
- Cash cigar purchases only.
- Matches, or other not-cigar-specific fire.
- When in doubt, blame a buddy. "I was trying to stand upwind, but once Frank fired up a cigar the wind kept changing direction!"
- Altoids (DO NOT drink cold orange juice right after an Altoid, by the way).
This list is by no means comprehensive.
Anyone else have to go stealth?
