If you don't care at all about the feelings of others, then I guess there is nothing anyone can say to you, but just in case you don't realize how disgusting cigar smoke is to others, I would say please smoke in private where the rest of us can enjoy the out door dining.

villager II - sounds like you don't care about the feelings of folks [like that cigar smoker] when it interferes with your pleasure? what i don't understand is, if you found the cigar smoking offensive and are concerned for yourself re second-hand smoke, why did you not speak directly to the smoker and/or ask a member of the wait staff to have your table relocated as soon as an out-of-the-way table was available? do you find the making of loud comments in hopes that the smoker heard them courteous? just wondering...

each time you politely let someone know that their behavior is rather selfish makes it easier to let someone know the next time.
