Oh, this is great.... the online site I use for most of my
live stream listening (www.shoutcast.com) has several
"latin/salsa" selections, that put a good background/
ambient/environment on for cigar enjoyment.. with a
latin america theme... the most popular is as follows

http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutc...e=filename.pls

that link is to a low bandwidth 24k stream (I have only
a 56k dialup connection), however for you DSL/cable
broadband types, there is also a 128k selection for
much higher quality.

shoutcast uses winamp and all the other popular
livestream audio players. I just discovered they had a
good "dominican/mexican/honduran/general latin
american" set after doing a site search there on a whim.

....for you mood music types who also like live streaming
music.

Not a bad site - they've got a great Celtic station from Ireland. I
usually use www.live365.com.

heh, are you referring to liveireland.com? it's AWESOME....

there are actually several celtic stations on shoutcast that
have thier own websites.... www.celtivegrove.com is one;
www.liveireland.com is another... they're all good. I have
always enjoyed good scottish & irish folk music.

I only posted the salsa/latino music because it seemed
appropriate for cigars... I remember hearing it as
theme music in on the cigar dave show. My OTHER
favorite shoutcast stream for listening during cigar
smoking is a good blues channel, while also at the
same time bar-b-queing. it's perfect ambient music.

the actual website for THAT is

www.absbluescast.com

Anyway.... I always think the right music is very important
for mood setting, no matter what you're doing.

Yep it's www.liveireland.com . I'll have to check out celticgroove.
I keep hearing about the Cigar Dave show - is this something online or local
radio only?

Well, the cigardave show is kinda both.... it's a nationally
syndicated show hosted by Dave (calls himself cigar dave),
once a week on saturdays.... the time of day depends on
the radio station affiliate in your area's programming
schedule. There is also a webcast of the show, that you
can listen to anytime of the week, I believe it uses the
windows media player. He also has the last several
weeks of shows archived, in case you missed one.

His site is dedicated to cigars and the cigar lifestyle,
kinda like cigar aficianado but scaled down economically
for the everyman, not just the $10,000 wristwatch types.

www.cigardave.com

go to his site, and on the home page at the bottom is the
link "listen live". When you click on it, you'll be taken to
the archive page where his shows are listed in 1 hour
blocks (his show is 2 hours long, so each show will
be a pair of two hour live stream hyperlinks).

There are other cigar radio shows out there, but I don't
like them as much because the seem less dedicated
to cigars and more dedicated to being regular everyday
tomfoolery type slapstick shows, with an occasional
remark about a cigar thrown in. Cigar dave discusses
cigars about 85% of the time, and the other 15% is
dedicated to his cigar updates and news about new
laws, for and against them, and so forth. If you really
enjoy cigars you'll really enjoy his show.
