Funny things people say to me when enjoying a cigar at a bar.
In no particular order.
-"Are you 18?"
-"So what do you do just puff on it?"
-"My dad used to smoke cigars"
-"I'd try a puff but I would probably throw up" (assuming I just let strangers puff on my cigar)
-"How do you know if a cigar is good...like when you buy them?"
-"How come you don't inhale?"
-"Why smoke a cigar? Why not just smoke cigarettes?"
-"Are you 18?"
-"So what do you do just puff on it?"
-"My dad used to smoke cigars"
-"I'd try a puff but I would probably throw up" (assuming I just let strangers puff on my cigar)
-"How do you know if a cigar is good...like when you buy them?"
-"How come you don't inhale?"
-"Why smoke a cigar? Why not just smoke cigarettes?"

Funny stuff, there's some nice puns in there somewhere.

Yeah I need to start giving answers like this...I must be too nice I usually try to give them a real answer and then they just end up looking at me funny. The "My dad used to smoke cigars" line usually comes from woman.

If it is a lady, I would immediately ask if her first name is Monica, if it is a gentleman I would ask if his boyfriend prefers culebras or box pressed cigars.

I find the only time I smoke in a bar is when the bar is cigar friendly. The only silver lining of a smoking ban is that it really does separate the men from the boys (or, the women from the girls). So, the only people there aren't going to make stupid comments about the nature of my favorite vice. Instead, the conversation tends to be intelligent and informed...and the comments range from "tell me what you're smoking" to "tell me what you're drinking with that cigar".
As for the outdoors, as I've said before to whiners and complainers - go inside. You wanted it, you got it.

Actual cigar bars can be hit or miss also...I was smoking a Gurkha in a local cigar bar once, this guy asked me what I'm smoking, I told him and of course here come the "durka, durka" jokes...then he tells me he only smokes Dominicans (none of which he could name)...then borrows my torch to light this huge cigar as if it were a cigarette...smokes almost 1/4" and promptly stubs it out and starts smoking cigarettes.

You have a good point. I would like to see more bars do outside lounges though. And I wish our local rules had allowed for private clubs.

Yeah. our smoking ban officially takes effect in January but they were smart enough to exempt private clubs and cigar bars, and down here any bar that doesn't serve food has to be designated as a private club anyway so I think I'm good.
I'm with ya on the outdoor lounge thing, I seem to have a hard time enjoying a cigar sitting outside of most places, I always feel rushed.

-"Are you 18?" I just celebrated my 22nd anniversary with my wife. Do the math.
-"So what do you do just puff on it?" Yep! Like taking a drink through a straw.
-"My dad used to smoke cigars" Really? I got MY dad started. Usually it's the other way around.
-"I'd try a puff but I would probably throw up" (assuming I just let strangers puff on my cigar) You are assuming I would offer it to you?
-"How do you know if a cigar is good...like when you buy them?" I like to listen to recommendations from other cigar smokers, and then try them myself.
-"How come you don't inhale?" Because it's nasty, and I don't want to HACK up a lung.
-"Why smoke a cigar? Why not just smoke cigarettes?" Cigarettes are full of cancer-causing chemicals mixed in with the tobacco. Cigars are all natural.
