๐ถ It's a family tradition! ๐ถ
While digging through the past as Mrs. Shrek and I were working on some family genealogy, she came across this photo of my great great grandfather James Bowron Jr smoking a cigar.
Nice to know I am not the only one of my bloodline that enjoys cigars. It did pose the question that I thought we may find interesting.
Did this fine hobby get passed down to you from a family member or did you pick it up another way?

My dad's father. Always had a stick going when we went fishing; White Owls if memory serves. He quit in the mid 1970's I think & died in 1997.

An elderly friend of the family and then my stepfather's best friend smoked cigars when I was growing up. No relatives, though.

My dad smoked cigarettes, and I think I saw him smoke a cigar once. But I was always interested in cigars... more with the celebration of the experience

My real dad was military and cigars were always around.
Smoke has always been a thing with american indians.My step dad, it became a tradition, of sorts, for us to smoke in the wheel house of the boat on our way back to port after the nets, crab pots or what ever were stowed.
I was never much into pipes, so usually a small box of RyJ were kept in the cabinet with his pipe tobacco.In Fumo Pax

I used to smoke cigarettes years ago. A buddy suggested I try Backwoods cigars (this was about 15 years ago.) I enjoyed them for what they were. Later on I had a few other gas station cigars. Again I liked them, but thought they could be better. I think the first premium cigar I smoked was a Romeo E Julieta and was intrigued. I had a few cigars off and on until just the last couple years when I have decided to burn all my extra money.

Dad smoked a pipe. Cigars I just decided I'd try a few.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

My grandfather. Although he smoked these Italian cigars with three bends in different directions and smelled like someone peed on a hot radiator.

My maternal grandfather smoked a gar and sipped espresso while reading Emerson on the verandah.

My brother gave me one the night before my wedding. I really enjoyed it. Now I'm hooked!

My dad smoked cigars my entire childhood. I remember being 10 or 11, and I gut-shot a rabbit while we were hunting. The smell was absolutely revolting while trying to clean it, and he gave me my first stick to help cover the smell.

^^^ Some say there's a "family tradition" in states like WV and AR where they keep things "close to home" and our favorite woodtick, Ricky, (obviously speaking from experience) saw the title and assumed something different than the rest of us.

You mean things like an AR virgin is a 11 year old girl, that can outrun her 13 year old brother.
