I agree with that Tom.

A great occasion can make any cigar better. A great cigar can make any occasion better. The mystical combination of a great cigar and a special occasion that allows it to be enjoyed is what makes great smoking memories. For me they are never solitary. Might get the most out of a particular cigar when smoking alone but there are no placeholders to retain the experience over the long term. Probably why herf smoked cigars represent so many of my favorite smoking memories.

Yes, but Herfs are a unique situation, where the main purpose is to gather with friends (& friends-to-be) who appreciate cigars, and share those special smokes. Herfs are definitely a time & place where the special times & special cigars should intertwine. These are not the events to which I refer, though.

I mean occasions like parties or large gatherings where there is plenty else going on as the focus, where you're enjoying yourself & others so that almost any stogie would taste better by virtue of the company & your attitude. Where there is much going on that detracts your attention from the nuances that usually make a "special" cigar special anyway.

On the other hand, a special smoke can make an ordinary day that much more memorable simply because of the cigar you enjoyed.
In other words, a special cigar can turn an ordinary day into a special day.

I don't save very many 'special' smokes for 'special' occasions anymore. I enjoy them on what would otherwise be just another day.
To make it a 'special' day for me.

I gotta agree with the big guy here. I enjoy smoking more when it is in the company of good folks, especially those who enjoy the leaf as well. I've had some good smokes while going solo, but enjoy them more when shared.
