I have had the great pleasure of participating in a weekly cigar ritual for over a year now. Wednesday nights, I get together with several of my neighbors, many of whom are high school buddies, for cigar night. We rotate the event around different back yards from week to week. We have been religious about getting together after we all get the dishes done and the kids tucked in, usuakky around 8:30pm. I have to say that this is the best therapy money can buy. Great conversation, a fine cigar, and a few adult beverages are the perfect mid-week vacation. This has become an significant part of our week and I recommend every cigar lover try to incorperate this into your schedule. We have a mixed bag of regular cigar smokers and newbies. All are welcome however we have one rule, you have to smoke a hand roled cigar, no exceptons. We also take this opportunity to try out differnet types of rums, scotch, wine, or beer. I will even have a cigar by myself on the back porch if the crew cannot get together and time permits. A cigar, libation, a copy of Cigar Aficionado, and some music is the perfect hour and half escape. I cannot wait for next week!!!!
I smoke on my back porch. I usually ask for that time alone to let my thoughts wander. I get a chance to think through things that might be causing stress at work. I always sleep better on nights when I get to have my cigar time.

I have an old garage, called the dungeon. In the winter I have a radiant heater and light candles to keep warm. In the summer as long as it isn't windy I sit outside of the dungeon and enjoy a smoke and drink.
Most of the times - in the hot tub. It's so relaxing and enjoyable. My bathroom is not big, but has a tub, and most importantly, a pretty powerful vent system. This allows not disturbing my wife with cigar smoke too much.
Other times - at places called Cigar Aristocrat and and Smocking, plus many cafes and restaurants. Here in Yerevan the fight against smoking is thankfully not overwhelming yet.
On 3 mile walks everyday with my dog. Luckily i live where the land is wide open, so its a great smoke and a great walk then i return to my studio to paint and finish it there. Would love to smoke a fabulous cigar someday, but for now........
Pretty much while on the deck, wife likes the smell but not in the house. Also I enjoy one while sitting in hot tub but my favorite place is while in my boat fishing for stripers on the local lake
I am fortunate enough to live in a big complex with big balconies. I like to smoke outside on the balcony at night with a bright moon and light breeze. When I want to smoke inside or the weather doesn't cooperate, I like to go to my favorite cigar bar, Cigar Masters (Boston) or my favorite cigar retailer, 2 Guys Smoke Shop (Salem, NH).
Moved in the spring and the new house has a 3 season room/deck. It is a perfect place to enjoy a smoke. I have a space heater for when the temp drops too low this winter and it got me through a few cold spring moments as well.

I'll have one at work every now & then. I visit a b&m often and enjoy the lounge they have. Or I'll just sit outside with my wife and enjoy the evening and company.

Hey, which city are you in? I'll be in Houston this weekend, probably will drop by Serious Cigars on Saturday.
I have two patios that overlook the fairway and greens of the 7th hole w/ Lake Travis in the back ground. Being at home and relaxing with a good cigar is one of my small joys in life. When I am not at home I enjoy a cigar at Hero's and Legacies in Austin, TX.
I smoke wherever I can! Living in Canada, sometimes makes it difficult to smoke outside except during the few warm summer months. There is only one lounge in my city where we can smoke inside and we must buy the cigar at the shop to use the lounge. I have a collection of about 500 sticks and I'll be damned if I buy another one at much more $$$ that I paide for on line just to smoke inside! I am a woodworker and am fortunate enough to have a lage workshop where I set up a small smoking room to enjoy the best smoke I can afford. Summer time I'm out on the deck and otherwise I'm i my own private lounge. LIFE IS TO SHORT TO MISS OUT ON THE THINGS YOU LOVE!!!
On the patio that overlooks a small lake in Central Florida. It's pretty cool because my wife and I can watch aligators swim in the lake and the many different kinds of birds. For awhile in the summer, when the Sand Hill Cranes seen us on the patio they made there way up for some bird seed and a few slices of bread. But probably the most relaxing is in the late evening sitting out there listening to nature.

When you have 51/2 acres of yard to mow, nothing is better than a GREAT cigar while mowing. A good day is at least a 2 cigar of mowing. A real good day is a three cigar mowing. Of course you need a few cold beers to go with the cigars and the mower.
