Do any of you guys enjoy a cigar or two out on the course? I am usually good for one per nine, or if I pick up some high quality stogeys that are tightly packed with a slow burn I will just savor one thru 18. I am a fan of Cohiba's, Macanuds' and Onyx. Any other suggestions for me?
I'm underage (15) but even if I wasn't, I wouldn't go anywhere near tobacco.
I play golf with my grandfather a lot. He used to be a heavy smoker so as a result, he has contracted severe emphysema. While we're out on the course, he hacks, spits, and chokes when even the finest foreign particle enters his system. As a result, this condition has limited his game and limited his lungs.
Here's my suggestion to you. Quit smoking while you're ahead.
Well I dont smoke and I have never wanted to smoke. My dad smokes and thats what really turned me off to it. But I dont mind someone smoking a cigar on the course. But I might mind it if some one that dips shot a wad on my golf shoes.

Keith - I usually have 3-4 cigars in a sealed plastic or small tupperware container packed away for 18 holes. I try to keep it to one cigar per nine, but sometimes its so easy to light up a new one after six holes.
Your cigar choices are great. I tend to stick to lesser-priced cigars, and recently have been enjoying Don Kiki Brown (strong), Green (mild), and Red (medium) Label cigars. Pretty tasty, and when they're on sale I can pick up 25, 6x52, for less than $30. But as they say "smoke what you like, and like what you smoke."
By the way, I usually pack an extra cigar or two because invariably someone will mooch one during the round - even complete strangers, or if I'm with friends we'll do some swapping before the round.

J.C. It drives me nuts when I see cigar and cigarette butts laying on a course. All holes have garbage cans at the tee boxes, how hard is it to drop them in there. The guys I want to put a choke hold on are the guys who spit sunflower seed shells on the greens.
I wasn't talking about the cigar butts and cigarette butts...I am sure the people on this site are respectful of the course and deposit those items where they are supposed to. I was referring to the chemicals. There have been instances where people have played golf (not here) and put their cigar/cigarette on the ground while playing a shot but they didn't know the course had just sprayed (usually insecticide) which helped along an existing medical condition and that player died. I am sure Greenguy can comment on some of the stuff they spray...I just sprayed Monument on parts of my backyard at home to eradicate some stubborn weeds from my beautiful bermuda (in preparation for a couple pitching greens).
jcgolfpro - thanks for the info about the chemicals. I've always used this "cigar holder thing" which clips on the bag.
And I agree about cigar butts and cigarette butts on the course. No excuse for them! If I can't find a can to drop the cigar in after I'm done, I'll "field strip" (military service lingo?) it and leave it for the forest gods, where I can usually be found. The little that is left of it I think is bio-degradeable.

Great point! I recently had to "discuss" the sunflower seed issue with a couple of new guys in my league. Playing in the groups behind them was like following a trail left by a large family of squirrels. :mad: These seed spitters would never spit'em on their own line....but don't think twice about leaving soggy seed shells for the next guy to pick up!
The worst for me though is the guys that chew tobacco and spit continuously while on the greens.
those darn seed spitters will be the ruin of game yet...hated it when i lived in OHIO and we had one in our league, we all gripped at him and he would just laugh, one night while he was in doing the scores, we filled his bag with about 50lbs of seeds....he never said anything and didn't spit in our league either.

Now that was a great practical joke ...and you got your message across! You wouldn't have a 5 gallon bucket of tobacco juice sitting around anywhere would you ?
