In Canada, specifically Ontario, there is a new Smoke-Free Ontario Act which limits things so much you can only smoke outside. That means no cigar lounges, no restruant or bars and you need to be a certain distance from doorways.
That being said, I smoke cigars on my front porch, and when I am at my cottage on the beach or on the front porch there.
The cottage is my preferred place though.
Cheers.

Most in the car during one helluva commute. 1 to work, 1 on the way home -- best defense against road rage. I much prefer smoking with friends and co-workers.
Weekends - around the house, walking the dog or visiting the beach / harbor. I also frequent (10% of the time) Brennan's smoke shop here in Plymouth, MA. It's small but the humidor is well stocked and the folks very pleasant and knowledgeable.
I was very lucky to find a smokers paradise in the form of a cigar shop in Franklin Square , New York called Maxi's Cigar lounge, 749 Hempstead Tpke Franklin Square, N.Y 516-505-1489
Even though I live in Brooklyn the 35-40 minute trip I make each Sat and Sunday is well worth it.
Jack, the store owner is without a doubt that friendliest man I have ever met and he treats each customer as a valued friend. The walk in humidor is well stocked and the lounge consists of a 42" High Def TV , large lounge chairs , a patio where we BBQ on a gas grill.
In addition, the lounge features a regulation pool table , dart board and Video arcade style golf and bowling. There is also internet access for those who want to work while they smoke.
Twice monthly, Jack hosts cigar tastings- last Friday was C A O where you buy three and get one free along with food and raffel prizes.
If you're in the area or even if you need to travel a bit, you wont be sorry you came to visit

The people who smoke here comprise a wide gamut of occupations but the one thing we all share is our love of cigars

on my back porch in the adarondak (sp) chair. fridge full of beer (liquer and coffee inside the house if the situation calls). working on a TV out there and can bring the laptop out if I'm in the mood.
I have a finished basement with multiple window exhaust fans that work quite well when smoking my cigars down there. Its a lot better than the garage--I don't do cold that well.

Usually on the porch or in the packyard on the pool deck. Weather has been good in Texas although I have been out a couple of times in pretty cold weather. I need a house with a smoking room...My ultimate dream.

Well, for my first post. I will smoke outside in the front yard during the summer, and my living room during the winter months, or if i'm watching a movie. Great forum!

Good wx on my deck or porch. Tried garage in winter- no dice, too cold. Decided to make my exercise room my smoking room as well. Have a fan blowing smoke out the window when I smoke, have an air purifier and a Homedics Brethe unit as well. Works well, even next room does not really have an odor after I'm done! I've actually set up a corner of the room with a coupla tables, my humidors, a radio/CD player and a nice chair. Only thing missing is a TV/DVD player, but I'm well pleased with the set up!

Hava Cigar 415 21st Street, Galveston, TX 77554 It's the local cigar shop and lounge. One of the coolest places I've been and my favorite place on the island. I also smoke on our balcony of our house about a 300-400yrd away from the beach with a pretty excelent veiw. Our shop has private lockers and both the owners are excelent people that make you feel super welcome. You should deffeniatley check it out if you ever are on the island.
Do you understand what the "Chain of Comand" is? It's the chain I get to beat you with until you understand who's in ruddy comand.
I smoke in my loft. My wife doesn't mind if I do, which, all of you married guys know, is huge. We have 13 ft. ceilings so the smoke doesn't get thick in there or anything. I live in Toledo, which has a smoking ban, but there are 2 cigar shops that I go to occasionally to smoke. One is Port Royal and the other is La Casa De La Habana. Check it out www.lacasacigars.com. Very cool pictures of the smoking rooms.
