Where was the offensive cigar smoker? The original post stated cigar smoke carries 100's of feet so that would seem that the offending party was not that close by.

On the deck at the Light house, the breeze was from south to north and he was in the southern most side of the deck. So everyone up the line was getting it. The crazy thing is that he lit it up after he was done eating and just sat there smoking for about 15 minutes. He sat back crossed his legs and puffed away gagging about 15 to 20 patrons. He was a big fellow and that may be why no one said anything directly to him. Several comments were made loud enough for our table to hear it, but no reaction from the smoker. Who knows, STUPID OR INCONSIDERATE. I would like to believe that he just did not know he was being so offensive to others. Maybe a please could you smoke somewhere else might have got a quick, I'm Sorry and he would leave or the way things are today, it might have got you put in the hospital.
