I'm sure I'm not the only geek here that enjoys a bit of music with his smoke. I thought I'd start this thread so people can describe what they are listening to as they enjoy their sticks. 

 For me tonight it was an old standby with some live Genesis, mostly focused on the older material. We had The Musical Box, Firth of Fifth, Cinema Show, Supper's Ready, Dance on a Volcano / Los Endos, In The Cage / Afterglow and It / Watcher of the Skies. You might be saying, "wow, must have been a short cigar for only 10 songs, but those 10 beauties provided me with close to 2 hours of smoke absorption. Loved every minute of it.

 What about you guys?

I usually listen to the radio in the Jeep as I smoke on my ride home.  Its usually on a rock station.

I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.

 I'm thinking about getting their new box set that's coming out in few.

Queen and Steely Dan!! Two great bands!! 

Sure, sports radio counts, but I find for me that I find myself getting annoyed more than relaxed when I listen to it :uzi:
 
 I have a Progressive Rock station on Pandora that I have pretty finely tuned now that gives me a great mix. Genesis, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Peter Gabriel, Yes, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, TransAtlantic, Marillion, etc...

I have a very eclectic mix of music stored on my computer which is connected to my stereo and plays on two pair of outdoor Bose speakers when I choose to listen and smoke outside. Mostly rock from the 70's onward, I also have a large assortment of jazz, reggae, alternative, New Wave, and a little country music. I prefer instrumental when smoking though......otherwise, I have to sing along. :biggrin:

 I too have a vast music collection, but always looking to enhance it :biggrin: I have mine stored on a music server in my office and play that or any of the music services through Sonos in the enclosed porch. The Sonos stuff is a little pricey but the ease of use and sound are fantastic.

Like a lot of you, I have a very broad range of music I listen to: classic rock, southern rock, country, hip-hop, modern pop (usually the stuff with good instrumentals), grunge, etc.  Strangely enough, I don't usually listen to a lot of music when I'm smoking - I tend to like it quiet.
