A person that fancies a nice cigar may find any number of social circles to enjoy this acquired delight. There is always a nice cigar club where you are able to enjoy your smoke of choice in a club friendly environment. You will find any number of stogie smokers participating in a poker tournament. More often than not it’s certain that most golfers will enjoy a cigar at the beginning, middle and end of a round of golf.

The Connection

Golf is a very complicated and nerve-whacking sport. Most people either love it or hate it. At the same time, it such a gratifying feeling when you find your skills advancing the more your play. There is one thing necessary no matter your skill level that must be master to be successful. That one thing is controlling your nerves. By most accounts, smoking cigars during a round of golf creates relaxation. Many golfers have a bundle of nerves before they take their first tee shot. Some will become unerved after a few bad shots during the round. And of course, if you are closing out the round at the top of the leaderboard the tension can over take your swing. Having a stogie on hand helps to manage a relaxed and consistent round of golf.
