Cigar/Pipe Smoke

Does cigar smoke in the area disturb your enjoyment of a pipe?
How about other pipe-smokers' nearby?
Do you adjust your blend choice in a group setting to accommodate the mix of smokes in the room?

Normally, to me, smoke is smoke. I haven't found other tobacco products being smoked around me to disturb what I am smoking. I do, however, try to avoid strong aromatics when I am smoking around other cigar smokers just because I have heard it can distirb them, some cigar lounges don't allow aromatics to be smoked inside them.

Cigar smoke does not disturb me. There are people at my pipe club who smoke cigars and cigarettes and that does not disturb me. But if I were trying to really decide what I think of a blend I would isolate myself and smoke alone.

I haven't had a problem with it. I don't care for cigar smoke (though it doesn't bother me as much as when I was younger), but I'm around a mixture of it when I go to my pipe club. The cigars meld in with the pipe smoke, so I don't even notice it.

cigar smoke is better than cigarette smoke.

I've never been in a tobacco lounge or cigar shop that allows cigarette smoking. Obviously, @pappyjoe, you are not alone in that estimation.

I'm always amused by establishments that allow cigarette smoking, but not pipes or cigars. If you're going to allow cigarettes, why not the other two?
