Highest Altitude Cigar Smoked?
 

My airplane question got me thinking about smoking a cigar in an unpressurized cabin... So, what is the highest altitude (not in a plane) have you smoked a cigar at? Anyone ever smoke a cigar on K2 or something crazy like that?

The top of Mt Ranier in Washington. 14,410 feet. Windy, but we had brought a windbreak with us. This was in 1987.

I smoke around 5000' every day :tu

Highest for me was on the peak of Mt Evans at 14,264 feet, but I regularly smoke with the local crew at 5,280'...

Here's a pic of me & a good buddy enjoying a smoke & a beer (or ten) at 10,600'...

Ah crap.

I had a cigar(ette) on Cotopaxi back in the late 90's - it was the only way I could tell if I was still %^$#ing breathing at that altitude.

Add to that the "pucker factor" of actually BEING an active volcano, the question of "Why the &^%$ are we going to the top of it??" does tend to repeat itself and make you VERY nervous....

I live at 367 feet above sea level. Lets just say I haven't gone anywhere interesting since I started smoking.

I remember smoking at the top of Mt. Massive, Mt. Evans and Pikes Peak, and possibly on 1 or 2 other 14ers. I smoked often camping, fishing and hunting at treeline ~12k. I enjoy smoking in camp, but not so much in the middle of a strenuous hike.

The highest altitude I have smoked a cigar at was 1948 meters on the Klausen Pass (Switzerland) after lunch.

Looks like I am at the bottom of the list.

Normally smoke at about 4 feet above sea level but went on a company trip to Cusco, Peru and smoked several cigars at 11,200 feet.

Re: Highest Altitude Cigar Smoked?
 

Pikes Peak and I could barely breathe before I even lit up.

Re: Highest Altitude Cigar Smoked?
 

Usually about 5 feet above the ground I am standing on.
