how to find smoking buddies

How do you guys find your smoking buddies? I have no friends who smoke cigars and no b&m's anywhere near me, well I guess there is one but they mostly sell other types of smoking devices and cigs. It is getting boring smoking alone. Any advice?

    I'm in the same boat as you, pretty much; this may be your best bet: http://www.cigar.com/cs/forums/thread/294933.aspx

    Make that a third. No friends here who smoke cigars, and the closest B&M is an hour away and not open on Sundays. Every time I do make it down there, it is Saturday in the middle of the day and the place is completely deserted.

    Yeah, me too. The one friend I've converted lives quite a ways from me and we only see each other on multi-day trips. B&M's aren't very close to me and are too expensive for me to go to very often. I mostly try to find things to do while smoking, putter around in my woodshop, go for a ride in a boat, etc. Sitting still for an entire cigar, can't do it - holy boring.

    +1...I seem to float between reading, watching cartoons, and drawing. Sometimes cruising the internet too.

    This is true, even though I have buddies to smoke with. None of them smoke in the morning and I tend to read a book or magazine while having a fine cigar. Hell, sometimes I put the ipod on and put my earplugs in and zone out my friend.

    I find that advertisement sells the product, so to speak. Ive met a LOT of cigar smokers who come up to me and go "Oh, you're a cigar guy huh?" because Im wearing a cigar hat or t-shirt, they see a cigar pic as the desktop on my computer screen, etc. If you fly the flag, other cigar guys will find you.

    I've found 3-4 guys from work alone. That was done by advertisement, as stated above. I usually leave the ccom catalog on my desk. I've worked with these guys for a couple of years before I knew they were into cigars. Now we meet regularly. I also netflix movies on the iPod when alone or listen to music.
