SLUF
The Companion
The same Friday cigar with the same friends.
House Volado · The regulars
Same time Friday? I'll bring a spare.
For fun and self-discovery, not a psychological assessment.
Who you are
Friday means your friends and your cigar. Same patio and the same chairs, every week. You don't need anything new. Everyone knows where to find you.
The company makes it good. The cigar is part of the furniture, as reliable as the people around it. You keep a spare for whoever forgets theirs. Your door is open, and most weeks someone walks through it. You'd trade any new release for a full patio. The cigar hasn't changed in years. The jokes haven't either.

At the lounge
If your group meets at a lounge, you'll be at the same table every week. Most of the time, though, it's a patio or a back garden. The shelves and the news don't interest you much. The people do, along with a familiar cigar. You know everyone's usual.
Your setting: The same patio, the same chairs.
With friends
Friends are the whole point. You run an open house at the same time every week, and anyone's welcome. You keep spares for people who forget and pour without asking. You remember birthdays and bad weeks. Your patio is where people come to catch up.
How you host: Open house, same time every week.
Your ritual
Put the chairs out before anyone arrives. Light your usual as the first friend sits down. Hand a spare to anyone empty-handed. Then catch up. The cigar lasts about as long as the conversation, and usually a bit less.
How you buy
You buy your usual, plus a spare or two for whoever forgets. You don't browse much. The humidor is plain and well stocked, with enough for the group. When you run low, you reorder the same thing from the same shop. It's never let you down.
At your best
At your best, you're the steady centre of a group that's lasted years. People feel at home with you. Your Friday habit gives everyone something to count on, and the cigar is part of it.
When it slips
When it slips, the routine runs on autopilot. You say yes to Friday even when you're tired of it. Nothing new crosses the table, and nobody suggests it. Letting someone else bring the cigars one week would shake things up.
Two things to try
- Ask each friend to bring a cigar you've never had to next Friday.
- Have one cigar alone this month, somewhere other than the patio.
Smoking buddy
Same company, same moments, the other side of new versus classic.
