Smokers and Hat Wearers

[Ginseng]

Folks,
I occasionally partake of a good cigar either alone or in company and I have wondered if there are any (cigar) smokers who are hat wearers and what issues they face. For example, how do you deal with smoke odor on your lid? I know that in the "old days" smoking was much more prevalant than it is today. How did they deal with it back then?

I try to limit my cigar smoking to 1 specific leather jacket & 1 specific lid.

 

[Cattus Petasatus]

I try to limit myself to 1 cigar at a time...

I don't have a specific smoking hat/jacket. I just wear what I have on. I assume I smell like smoke, but people who know me know I smoke on a regular basis.

Check out Proverbs 29:25. It's what I try to live by.

I smoke and don't think I've ever considered my wardrobe in connection with that activity. I don't think guys thought much about it back in the forties and fifties either: just about everybody smoked.

Isn't it traditional to wear a fez and a velvet smoking jacket while partaking in this activity? I would imagine at least a few Loungers have acquired the classic gear for enjoying brandy and cigars in the drawing room after dinner. Hopefully they will post pics.

Personally, I can't participate. About 10 minutes around smoke and I start rapid-fire sneezing. Not judging others, just admitting my limitations in this department.

I gave up the habit years ago, as well as drinking. Not only are my hats better off for it, but my lungs and overall health is too.

 

[moehawk]

Good for you, TJones! I myself am coming up on my 10 year anniversary of quitting tobacco and 4 years for alcohol. June 14 was the date I chose to stop both bad habits. My health is much better for it, and my clothing and person smell a lot better as well.

I don't smoke and never did. Already have respiratory problems, don't need another thing helping it.
I do drink almost daily but small portion. A lil' bit of alcohol does not warm.

After the Friday night poker game my outfit goes in the garbage bag! The Fedora just airs out...

 

[EliasRDA]

When I smoked real cigarettes, or cigars I never thought about it but then again I didn't have good stuff I was worried about wrecking. I didn't even care when I lived with my last girlfriend who smoked like a fiend.
Now I smoke e-cigs, non nic, & I still don't worry about it as the stuff is basically then same as stage fog/smoke. Bit of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine & a touch of flavoring that I make myself.

Man, I dying for a cigar now. :cool2:

I have even been known to frequent a campfire or two wearing a pretty decent hat. Sometimes for days on end. Come home smelling like a Virginia Ham!!!

After a few days living by a fire, I was told I smelled like (smoked) sturgeon. A cultural variation on the same theme, but both a Badge of honor!

That's the best!!

 

[Renault]

Ok Mebbe not quite like a Virginia ham. Mebbe more like a conflagrated grocery store?!?!

 

[HudsonHawk]

You don't wear a hat indoors, so when smoking indoors, it's not an issue. When I smoke outdoors, I wear whatever hat I'm wearing. I don't really think about it. The hat doesn't dictate. Other than that, my rules are 1) try not to light you hat on fire, 2) knock the ashes off your cigar before they fall on your shirt, and 3) enjoy your cigar.

My mother says we end to smell like a gipsy when near a campfire for too long. Maybe because long time ago, gipsy people always had a fire near by since no electric power was available.

If you have more than one hat, you can "air out" a hat leaving it outside in some fresh air, and wear another hat,or place the hat in a large plastic bag with some fresh coffee grounds placed in a container inside the bag with the hat.
