If the liveboard allows you to smoke, what's typically the take on smoking a cigar at the end of the day? Maybe once or twice during the liveaboard?

Boy, do I have no interest in anyone smoking cigars on my liveaboard. I guess, if smoking is allowed on some part of the boat, it would be difficult to disallow cigars.
I enjoy a good cigar once in a while. I was on a charter out of Morehead City NC and the water was anything but smooth. My son was seasick throwing up over the side, while some moron was smoking an old stogie while standing next to him. I wanted to chuck him over the side. I haven't smoked near anyone without asking for consent (which often means moving somewhere else) but if it was acceptable I would likely partake. Now clove cigarettes are another matter. They should be outlawed.

I voted no, but it is more based on the pre condition.
If I’m trying to rest well for a week of diving, I don’t need my nervous system jacked into over drive by the communal nicotine of someone’s relaxing pastime.
If you want to take the tender down wind and brush and wash all the ashes overboard afterwards, feel free.

Man, a Monte Cristo No. 2 or Fuente Fuente Opus X (preferably while sitting in a hot tub* with a snifter of Grand Marnier and the company of good friends) is the way I ended many a diving day. Granted, that would be tough on a liveaboard unless it was your charter and everyone was of like mind. I was always highly self conscious of not offending anyone with the occasional cigar regardless of where I was. I imagine there are places downwind on a liveaboard where it would be possible but since the bow usually swings into the wind at anchor the smoke would engulf the entire ship.
One time crossing the equator in the Galapagos it was 2 a.m. and a few of us got towed in the tender behind the mother ship with cigars and brandy at the ready while singing songs to King Neptune and watching the universe unfold above us. As Sam III would say, "The days of our dives..." M

Just let us know what boat(s) you'll be doing this on. I want to avoid them.

How could anyone imagine this would be OK? I am stuck in a small space with 20 - 30 other people and one of them wants to make the air I breath smell terrible. Don't care what you are smoking, or if you want to wear too much cologne or perfume. (IMHO any is too much but I recognise that I am sensitive - all perfume smells like mosquito repellant to me - something in the base ingredients does not agree with me)

The Ultimate Bad Example
I normally have a cigar on a liveaboard. It is my vacation too. I smoke where and when it is allowed normally on the aft deck of the boat near the buttcan. If dive operations are still ongoing and passing through the smoking deck I will hold off my cigar.

I really enjoy cigars. They help me relax after crazy days at work. While it would be awesome to enjoy a nice robusto at the end of a day of diving, I would never encumber my boat mates with the smoke and would refrain from smoking during the trip. Common courtesy, in my view.

Man... A man with good taste in cigars. Smoking one right now on my deck.
