View Full Version : Where do you enjoy your cigars?

I usually smoke 1 cigar a day, so I try to make an event out of it. I have a small house set back in the woods which I share with my wife and my 8 mo. old boy.

On one side of my house I made an 8' x 20' patio and set up a little bistro set on an outdoor rug. I bordered the patio with a perennial garden complete with solor led lights. My wife calls it my cigarden:D

Usually after the little monster goes down (around 9:00-9:30) I head out to the "cigarden", pour a nice cocktail, put on a little Van Morrison, Neil Young or something along those lines and enjoy the nights cigar!

How do you do it?

For me it depends on the time of the day. I usually smoke in the early evening, so the sun is shining on the front of our house.

If I want to be on the laptop while smoking, I go on the back patio. The house shields the direct sunlight in the evening. If I am just going to read or just sit and enjoy the smoke alone, I go out front on the bench glider. Its a better view, people and kids are usually running around the neighbor hood and its quieter actually (silly air conditioning compressor is next to the patio out back)

If it has been a while, or its cold or raining, I usually smoke one in the car. 2 days a week I have a 2+ hour round trip so I break out the bobken and try to not get too distracted by the nice cigar while I drive :)

Sounds like you've got a nice little relaxation spot setup there. Post some pics man, we're a pic-hungry bunch here, lol. :)

When I'm smoking at home it's likely to be anywhere: office/smoking room, living room, back patio, carport. Out and about I'm usually at one of the two B&Ms on Saturdays.

I usually go to the deck off of our bedroom. If not I'm in the garage of the back patio hanging with the dog. Closes I'll smoke indoors is in the garage and even then that's pushing with my son around and my wife being pregnant.

Create a photobucket or flickr account. Upload your photos onto that account. Click on the picture in your photobucket account, there will be an IMG code...copy this, paste it in your post, and it should show up.

With two little girls, about the only time I have to smoke is on the course. Thankfully, I get to play a couple times a week during the summer, so I usually get to smoke about 6 per week.

Sounds great!!

My spot is out on our deck. The back of our house gets all the sun, so I sit out there late evening when it's not beating down on me, but just enough to keep things light. We have a furniture set out there that I just kick back with a good cigar, a good drink, and good company. :tu

I smoke most of the time at work. I have my own little 3' x 6' booth i sit in. when I'm done, and I open the windows, it looks like a scene from a Snoop Dogg video.
At home I bolted a 52 inch flat screen right to the side of my house. I'll sit on the patio, drink some beer, and watch the ballgame. Been way too hot lately though.

Usually on my covered front porch or on the back deck. Lately, I have been enjoying a small cigar (CAO LX2 Bam, Nosotros Corona) on the ride into work. Man, driving to work lately has been stress free.

I love smoking on e-man67's back deck. He has the ultimate setup. Covered deck, flat screen TV, fan, and comfy seating. Perfect!

If it is raining you'll find me on our back deck under the gazebo. If it's a driving rain I'll retreat to the shed. . . I'm no quitter!

Back deck in a comfy chair typically, if it starts to rain I move to the covered porch out front. My favorite spot is out in the boat waiting for bass to hit a topwater, but that hasn't been happening much lately.

For the most part I enjoy my cigars in my home. But the most enjoyment comes when smoking with friends wherever that may be. :tu

On the lake, boat, or in the backyard with the bonfire pit going, around my friends. Some of the best conversations I've ever been a part of have been while smoking cigars.

Where do I enjoy my cigars?

In a reserved portion of my brain away from all the bullshit.

Or just on my couch in the living room. That's a pretty good spot too.

Don't you hate how the camera in your phone always 'wants' to focus on grass and NOT the cigar right in front of it Mark?!!??!?!

I had to put that last one on my knee and make it the focus, my silly Blackberry Storm only wants to focus on grass.

I usually have three sticks a day. Most of the time it is one in the truck. One outside somewhere like on the mower or the tractor. Then I have one in the Gator Cave after dinner. Different days bring the best one, but I usually enjoy them all.

I usually just enjoy them in a traditional sense, but I once saw a video of a woman smoking a cigar with her yahooie.

I have three places that I smoke regularly:

I often smoke outside of the garage in the afternoon, while
listening to the Phillies or Eagles game in the shade. I also
read a lot while smoking

Lately I've been on the back deck, again with radio and book, watching
the animals (deer, wild turkey, multitudes of birds, etc.) in the evening

Then my brother and I go golfing once or twice each week, and I
always supply the cigars.

Very nice, thanks! Was surprisingly mild, and grassy at the beginning.

It was real humid that day, I had to relight it a few times :)

I had a courtyard built at our old house that I enjoyed many a cigar in. Our new place has a patio, but it gets all the afternoon sun. Early evening is my favorite smoking time. I don't mind the 105-110 summer heat so much, but that setting sun is blinding when you're sitting on the patio.

I decided I need a new courtyard in the front of the house where I can relax in the shade in the late afternoon / early evening.

So, this week construction started on Bill's new smoking area.
