Question for the Northerner golfers........

When the weather breaks, and you can finally hit the local courses, what's your first golf smoke gonna be?

I've got a Cohiba Siglo IV that's been in my humidor for a couple months now.

    Nice! I can't handle smoking and golfing at the same time. Since I'm a terrible golfer, it ruins the cigar experience. Hmm, for an after-golf smoke, I think my first one will be... I could go with an ISOM Cohiba as well. A fellow BOTL hooked me up with two this winter. Gotta give one a go sometime, seems like as good of an excuse as any.

    I'm sort of with Phil on this one. I consider myself a decent golfer (under10 handicap), but if I take a good stick out with my, my scores tend to go up and I never enjoy the stick as much as I want to. I still puff on a cigar out on the course, but I usually take one I know not to be too strong or complex and one that tends to burn consistently. I tend to take out Padron 3000s, La Herencia Cubanas, La Gloria Cubanas, etc. For some reason, I enjoy golf so much that when I get out on the course (maybe 3-4 times a month) I want to be focused on the golf more than the cigar.

    I have a set of clubs, but I'm not sure what I do can be called "golfing". When I step on a golf course, people in Scotland roll over in their graves!

    When I am finished tearing up the grass, I like something that is medium bodied that would go good with a beer.

    lol, yeah I feel that way too sometimes. If only I could get my short game up to par... I use to smoke cigars while golfing but not anymore. They usually go out or I have issues keeping them in my mouth while swinging.

    Smoking a cigar does nothing for my game, either. I've given up long ago on ever being a "good" golfer. I just like getting outside, enjoying good company and a smoking a cigar or two. The only "short game" I'm worried about is how short of a nub I can smoke my stogie down to! LOL!

I am like you Brandon, Ill smoke an old standby on the course, just to have a decent smoke... wouldn't want to spend my Golf Time Critiquing a Smoke... Rock on

    I still own clubs, but only because I can't bring myself to part with them. I can't golf anymore, and doubt that I ever will be able to again. When my brother tells me he's going golfing, I sit on the deck, light up a good cigar and 'imagine' myself playing a better round than he does. That way I get to enjoy the cigar and the game, lol.

    I went golfing a couple of weeks ago, INdoors. Unfortunately, no smoking is allowed inside.

    Is it time to retire yet? I am definitely going to retire somewhere WARMER, AND somewhere that still allows smoking lounges.

    I get to retire in 8426 days

    I HATE WINTER......... ok rant over.

    I have about 1305 days before I have to look for a job, lol. I'm not retired, but it looks like this 'Grandfather' is going back to school in the fall for a 3 year course. Wish I could still golf. When I did golf, I would smoke on the course. It was never a 'special' cigar, just something I could throw down while I took my swing and them brush the grass off and puff away.
