Golf and cigars
 
Generally speaking, is it usually acceptable to smoke a cigar while playing the exec courses? I always ask permission whenever I want to fire one up, and am very careful about proper handling and disposal (carry a holder on my bag). Not a huge deal, but I'm curious about the general acceptance/rejection of my dirty little habit.

I don't mind people smoking what I do mind is when they throw the butts on the course.

Cigars are more suitable for the championship courses. And walking would be advisable.

People look like they're smoking a dog turd (that people raise so much hell about on here) when they have one fired up. I so glad I have a "go fast" cart so I don't have to follow them on the mmp's or diamond lanes.

I used to smoke cigars when I played golf, but nobody wanted to play with me, so I quit. Much better now. Honestly most people don't want to smell any smoke.

Yuk!

Well, I guess that answers the question. Guess I will stick to playing alone if I want to enjoy a cigar.

Not to be Mean or Nasty !!!
 
But keep it at home!!!

I do not want to see it or smell it. I had a neighbor that would sit on his Lanai and smoke the nasty things. I could not sit on mine. People need to be considerate of others.

You asked and I responded my true feelings !!

Its kind of you to ask if your smelly habit would offend anyone in your group.
Perhaps you could go a little further and ask the people on the hole behind you and in front of you if they mind.
Since that foul smell carries for miles.Same goes for ciggarett smokers

Cigars smokers can expect any number of responses on the golf course. One might be throw up on your shoes.

Wow. I tried to ask, very respectfully, a simple question. Please reread the op. I always ask for permission. If anyone says no, then I don't. A simple "no, not acceptable" response would have been appropriate. Again, reread the op... one response indicated they take offense to those who leave butts on the course. I stated I was very careful about handling and disposal. Like I said, I was just curious. Instead, I basically got attacked.
I don't care that anyone dislikes my cigar habit, I will simply not do it around those who are offended. Simple courtesy. I would expect the same in return.
The warmth here is underwhelming.

If your neighbor was sitting there chain smoking the things, you would have a point. But if he has one or two a day, on his lanai, then you should take your own advice. We all need to be considerate of others. Believe it or not, he has rights, too.
All things in moderation.

Looking for affirmation? You asked for opinions, and you got them. That's how it works.
