Smoking and Music

[Eros]

Hopefully this hasn't been done before. I was going to put this in the music/movies section but that seemed to primarily just be about movies and music as opposed to cigars. So if you aren't in a social gathering, or even if you are, what kind of music suits you while smoking? I know some people smoke in silence, but that's too boring for me most of the time:D

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

I listen to everything except country. Mainly like classic rock, jazz, hip hop, jam, and a bunch others..

[icehog3]

Out on the deck in the summer, I tend to turn to 60s and 70s Motown.

[tx_tuff]

Everything from Texas Country to Rock to audio books or watching Netflix. Was great catching up on Mad Men while smoking.

[irratebass]

Lately I have been listening to thecigarstation.com on my phone, nothing out of the ordinary, but relaxing music and every now and then they will talk cigars. If I had a shop this would be on 24/7.

[Apoco]

The local college radio station used to play classical from 8ish until 11ish. I usually tuned into that and felt like the classiest man on earth.

Now I usually just put on some trance music and read on my kindle :/

Blues, jazz, rock, pop, talk radio and audio books mostly. Although I did buy Compay Segundo simply for the sake of listening to him while smoking. Listen to his music all the time.

[maninblack]

I use the Pandora app on my phone and blast some Petty, Springsteen, Stones, alot of classic rock. And some new southern rock, like the Drive By Truckers.

[MurphysLaw]

Lately it's been "Blues Guitar Legends" on Pandora :tu

[darkninja67]

Smoking an M80 right now listening to Soulfly. Usually listen to metal/rock but will go with vocal jazz sometimes.

[Brutus2600]

Two Pandora stations are my favorite while smoking...Reggae and Hawaiian. Those two genres go very well with the relaxation of enjoying a cigar. Occasionally I'll throw on the Frank Sinatra station, but it's usually the other two :)

[gbum]

70% of my smoking time is while i'm watching live band in a lounge...
mostly evergreen and current hits song...

[Emjaysmash]

Lately it's been "Blues Guitar Legends" on Pandora :tu

Thanks for the suggestion! :tu listening to it now!

[DaBear]

Generally something relaxing. During the day I'll bring out the speaker and play some classic rock with my roommates out on the porch with me. At night I'll generally switch to some of my relaxing stuff(Damion Suomi, Frank Turner, Johnny Flynn, Wadi Rum, etc)

[stearns]

classic vinyl on xm... or any classic rock if no satellite radio around

or, in the ideal situation, acoustic banjo and guitar in dave's garage :ss

[MurphysLaw]

Thanks for the suggestion! :tu listening to it now!

:tu One of my favorite stations, glad that someone else digs it

[wayner123]

I mostly listen to audio books. Although Buena Vista Social Club ain't bad either.

[TJtorpedo]

In the summer, I love listening to baseball games on satellite out on the back deck while smoking. Other than that, I stream a bunch of indie rock while having a cigar.

[Bill86]

Classic rock, Talk radio.

[BHalbrooks]

I listen to Boston's biggest Sport station. They talk basically about the Sports I'm interested in, and not the ones I'm not.

[Ismith75]

Phish, String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain. Anything funky or bluegrassy.

[Steve]

Hard to beat some T-Bone Walker

[Gargoyle]

I do most of my smoking in the car lately. I'm mostly listening to Sirius Liquid Metal (40), mixed with lesser amounts of NFL Radio (88) and Spa (68).

[tsolomon]

Hard to beat some T-Bone Walker:tpd:

:tu Bluesville on XM

[pektel]

Phish, String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain. Anything funky or bluegrassy.

Nice. :tu

For me, I mainly listen to the wind/leaves/trees. I live out in the country, and enjoy the peace and quiet when I get my alone time without the SO and kids.

[teamgreg8]

I have a great big playlist with all of my OAR, Dave Matthews, Zac Brown Band albums and also like streaming reggae internet radio. Very relaxing.

[pektel]

Reggae fan? You should check out katchafire. One of my recent favorites.

I listen to almost anything from country to metal depending on my mood. Most of the time I like to just read while smoking.

[darkleeroy]

Depends on my mood. My music tastes are pretty eclectic, can go from Yo-Yo Ma to Rush and end at Theophilus London and everything in-between.

But I REALLY like Rush.

[MrClean]

Outside of classical, my Ipod has all kinds of music on it.

Since we live in a rural area, sometimes I just sit and listen to the peace and quiet. I read a lot while smoking too.

[keith_mahoney]

I like some nice relaxing metal like Iced Earth, Rhapsody of Fire, Helloween, or Dragonforce

[irratebass]

I REALLY like Rush.

:banger

Helloween

:banger

[IndyRob]

I'll listen to pretty much anything. I can't stand top 40 pop crap though. True country, blues, jazz, metal and rock.

Been on a 70's hard rock kick lately. Been digging the hell out of Rainbow, UFO and stuff from that era.

One of my favorite relaxation albums for drinking/smoking is Morphine's Cure for Pain. Awesome stuff and it gets the wife all hot and bothered. ;)


You should definitely be rocking out to Devil To Pay when you smoke though... ;)

[Islayphile]

Usually old school country (Hank Sr, Waylon, Cash etc) or classical

During baseball season I listen to the game

[ktblunden]

I usually either read a book or watch Netflix while smoking, but I'll listen to some metal on Pandora or Rdio too.

I like some nice relaxing metal like Iced Earth, Rhapsody of Fire, Helloween, or Dragonforce

Helloween is one of my favorite bands.
