Cigar Gatherings

I enjoy a good cigar. Unfortunately, winter in Edmonton means that I can’t enjoy them year-round.
I mean, I suppose I could smoke in my apartment. Even though I technically live in a non-smoking building, everyone seems to smoke in their apartments. I’ve even seen people walking through the halls with lit cigarettes between their lips—the resident manager included.
However, I don’t want to smoke an entire cigar in my small apartment. The stale smoke will linger for days, and I don’t like that. Maybe if I have a powerful air filter…
Anyway, the weather is finally starting to warm up, which means that I can occasionally sit out on the balcony and enjoy a good cigar, as long as it’s a shorter stick (since, even at 5C it starts to get chilly after a while…it’s above zero, sure, but it’s also about the same temperature as the inside of a refrigerator).
While I certainly enjoy a solitary smoke—it’s quite a contemplative experience—I’m beginning to see cigars as more of a social experience (I’ve got a pipe for my solitary, contemplative smokes). I much prefer to smoke a cigar over the course of an hour or two while talking to friends (who are, presumably, also enjoying a cigar) than to sit around and smoke one by myself.
Basically, what I’m getting at here is that I’m looking to enhance my cigar smoking experiences by combining them with social experiences. If you’re up for a smoke and a conversation, let me know and we’ll see what we can arrange. If I’m feeling generous, I might even let you pick something from my personal collection (as small and humble as it may be).
