I have read a few times that some guys do not like smoking their "good cigars" while golfing. While I totally disagree I was wondering what you guys thought.

I don't smoke or drink on the course; I have enough impediments in my game without impairing myself further.
However, one rule to live by is that if you're going to enjoy a cigar, enjoy a good one.

If you have a cigar minder/clip so you don't have to throw it on the ground I see no reason not to take a quality smoke out with you. However, if it is really windy I may just pass on a cigar but I almost always smoke 2 while I'm on the links.

all of my cigars are good but yeah i smoke my less expensive ones with smalled ring gauges. for me i smoke the "good" cigars if im celebrating something. college budgets dont exactly help when you like stoges

Good cigar? yes. But smoking a really nice cigar, like a PSD4, a PAM, or an Opus X doesn't make sense to me. It was really suck if the cigar became unsmokeable for a variety of reasons: wind starts blowing, and the wrapper unravels, someone steps on it when I put it down in the tee box - whatever. If that happens to a CAO Gol - se la vie.

I wouldnt say no to bringing a really nice cigar out depending on the day/course I'm playing. If it is a very exclusive course that I don't normally get to play that is worthy of bringing a celebration cigar, I'd say yes as long as you have one of the cigar minder clips.
I would think this is all relative though. Relative to the weather, the course, the "good" cigar you are thinking about bringing, and how many of the same "good" cigars you have in your humi of the same brand/vitola so you dont have an accident and get screwed out of a really nice smoke.
For example, Today I'll be playing in my golf league and I'll bring a VSG Tres Mystique and either a Ashton Cabinet #3 or a AF Corona Imperial.
I consider them good cigars, and will enjoy them fully
