Smoke N' Porsches

I snapped this as the wife and I were enjoying cigars in the "Martini Racing Room" at Nicky Blaine's cigar bar in Indy.

Stogies and Porsches....does life get any better?

I agree. I actually can't stand smoke of any kind. Cigarettes make me choke, cigars make me want to hurl. Worst part of an ALMS race is having my clothes reek like that even after getting back home.

Because some people need something to complain about??


I don't think any sane person would have a reasonable expectation of not smelling cigar smoke in a cigar bar. That being said...if you abhor cigar smoke, you should never visit a cigar bar.

But this is common sense.

Nope. You and your, if I may say with pun aforethought, smokin' hot wife look to be having way to much fun.

This must be stopped.

There in lies the problem. Common sense is not very common anymore...easier to blame someone else.

That's a great pic, BTW!

Cigars and bourbon are a nice way to end a perfect evening.

I'd rather smell like a cigar than pot any day. Cigarettes are only 2nd worse to pot. Cigars and pipes are OK in moderation.

Speaking of smoke, I'm just finishing up repair and restoration of a 1964 juke box. The nicotine that I get on my cleaning rags is incredible. This is from down inside! Working in a bar or restaurant 20 years ago and before was nasty business.

Some restrictions we have placed on society are good. I doubt in the history of mankind have there ever been any corporations that have plagued humans as much as big tobacco.
