Highest Altitude Cigar Smoked?

physiognomy · 04-18-2009, 11:19 PM

Highest for me was on the peak of Mt Evans at 14,264 feet, but I regularly smoke with the local crew at 5,280'...

Here's a pic of me & a good buddy enjoying a smoke & a beer (or ten) at 10,600'...

Ah crap.

I had a cigar(ette) on Cotopaxi back in the late 90's - it was the only way I could tell if I was still %^$#ing breathing at that altitude.

Add to that the "pucker factor" of actually BEING an active volcano, the question of "Why the &^%$ are we going to the top of it??" does tend to repeat itself and make you VERY nervous....
