Cigar smoking audiophiles?

Well, I've been wondering about this a bit. As cigar smokers seem to generally be appreciative of the small pleasures in life, like cigars (of course ), good food, good drinks, good music, etc, that is there a higher concentration of so-called audiophiles in cigar smokers, i.e. people, who feel that it's justified to spend some money to get an audio system that's pleasurable to listen to, spend some time tweaking the speaker placement to get most out of them, etc. to get the most out of music.

I for one admit that I am one of those people. A tube guy to be exact. There's just something magical in the sound of properly made tube amp, and so my system has evolved around that up to the point that even the cd player has tube output stage, and a couple of NOS tubes here and there too. What a great pleasure it is to put on some good music, pour a glass of port, and sit down on the comfy couch exactly at the optimum listening spot. (Darn, I really need that air purifier to be able to light up on top of that...)

Go ahead, step up and admit it, you're one of us 'freaks'.
