Default Cigar While Riding?
The search turned up nothing. Anyone ever tried to ride with a cigar? Before I waste my Rocky Patel Decade I'd like to know if this is going to end disastrously with ash blowing into my face, starting a fire, and forcing me to stop, drop, and roll at 60mph.

Depends how your bike is set up. If your bike is the one in your avatar, you might want to opt for a nice cigar bar with an outdoor patio instead.

I don't smoke cigars on my bike, but I do smoke cigarettes. Works fine for me.

Yeah, just a standard Dyna with no windshield.

I rode with a guy that chewed on a cigar while riding! He lit up when we stopped! Cigars never appealed to me. Looks like a turd in your mouth

Personally, I wouldn't be able to enjoy a fine cigar while being blasted in the face by 80mph winds (or 30mph, for that matter). With the way my bagger is set up, I can smoke a cigar behind the windshield, but it's not going to be as enjoyable as sitting on a patio, sipping some vino, and taking my time with a nice Rocky Patel Vintage 1990.

With the way your bike is set up, there's no question I'd go for the patio option.
