Cigars and meaningful conversation

cigar_rkweblog

This photo was recently taken by my friend Tom Kerr, a photographer in Redding, CA. One reason I love cigars is the meaningful conversations I have with friends while sharing them. I know, the ladies hate them, but maybe that’s OK when us guys need to chill about stuff.

If you know me at all, you know that conversation is my sweet spot. Share with me the setting you have your most meaningful conversations.

    Around a plate of ribs from Oklahoma Joe’s in Olathe, KS. Replace that cigar with a rib and I can converse all night.

      YES! Except we not only would have an amazing time, we would roll out the door. ;) Loved that place, Ben, and your company.

    Me and the guys hung out last night here and smoked a few. I’m a relative noob when it comes to cigars (just started this year), but there’s nothing like hanging with the guys, talking man stuff, and just “being.”

      Rich, I’ll enjoy a cigar with you anytime brother. I wish we would have had more time together in KC. Perhaps soon. Hope you enjoyed SAVING GOD. Looking forward to reading your blog about it. Also, know that I’m putting a link to your blog from mine in today’s post. God bless. http://c10pictures.blogspot.com should be up shortly.

    One of these evenings, I need to ride on out to the desert, bring my pipe and some choice tobacco, and conversate.

    I like Cigars too, but my fiancée hates them, and hates me smoking them, I only smoke one a year really, but we are going to Cuba on our honeymoon :D

      Most ladies hate them… that is part of the appeal, eh?

      Cannot wait to see a pic of you puffing a Cuban!
