Arrow Farfetch Story: Sit Back and Relax. |3

General
Gather 'round everyone. It's storytime again. 
Arrow~Farfetch is up to the plate.
I gotta' say, this is a great story when it comes to getting into tobacco.
My favorite time to date smoking a cigar was pretty recent as it was when I got hooked! :P
A friend of mine hosts his birthday party every year at his house. Usually, we do typical mature young adult party things like splashing around in the pool like idiots, chatting, drinking a variety of alcohol AND the host is kind and generous enough to provide some low budget cigars to puff on doing any of these things.
I hadn't done it in over a year (the first time, I wasn't as keen on it nor did I without choking), but this time I was determined to make it a good smoke. Lo and behold, the first couple of puffs I didn't spat it out! Progressively, it just became easier and easier to take the smoke in my mouth and slowly blow it creating a nice thick grayish yellow cloud. I've never felt so soothed by something supposedly "bad"for you- it was just an overall nice experience to sit back and chat with people amid our giant billowing clouds.
I even puffed my first couple of smoke rings!
That next Thursday, I asked my friend who hosted the party to accompany me to the cigar shop he went to in our town (Cigar Plus in Downtown Kissimmee, for any Florida furs. It's a pretty nice place) and help me pick out a few good ones. Once we got back to his place we took our post in his backyard and enjoyed the stylings of Christ Botti (smooth trumpet jazz and REALLY good smoking music) and some higher quality cigars, chatting over our anticipation of the fall to enjoy the warmth our cigars would bring :3
I can't wait to sit back, one crammed in the corner of my mouth, the chill of fall swept around me and the smoke hovering in my nose and mouth...ahhhh.... ^^
Great story dude. It's always nice to sit back and relax. ^_^ Happy puffing too.

Example - first furry convention I ever hit was CF East in Elizabeth NJ. This was back in the mid-90s before the health Nazis had effectively banned smoking in any sort of public building so it was still feasible for me to take a break from the convention in a corner of the hotel lobby smoking area and enjoy a cigar.
I was puffing away happily at a table by the window when another fur came over and inquired if I was permitted to smoke here. I noted that I'd been puffing away off and on Thursday night and Friday without issue so apparently it was kewl - he asked if he could join me, I said yes and we were soon blowing smoke rings and chatting about whatever.
Seeing safety in numbers (I've found the worst enemy of cigar smokers to actually be cigarette smokers) other cigar smokers showed up one by one, asked the same questions about the legality of enjoying their stogies in our corner and joined the table.
I had only intended to have a single cigar at the time but the conversation and companionship of my fellow cigar fans was too pleasant to leave and what was intended as a half hour break became several hours of wonderful conversation and a slew of new friends.
See, nothing fancy, nothing exotic, just a wonderful cigar xp.
