I voted for rarely. I do try to stop in one of the shops around at least once a month and buy something to keep up the relationship with the owner. I wish I had more time to go there just to hang out and smoke, but all my kids are still pretty young and have a lot of extra curricular activities. I can see my self going more often when they get older and I have less to do.
usually once a week i get out to a local B&M or cigar bar. i got to resupply on stick and a chance to get away and relax and socialize with other cigar smokers. if i smoke at home i usually cant relax the same as if i am at a lounge. its just nice to kick back in a leather chair and melt away. its also nice because i can usually watch whatever i want on the tv and sometimes its nice to go to the cigar bar and have someone bring you your drinks.
Some of you might remember my relationship with my local lounge, but I still go about once a week. I have slowed down recently just because of my schedule, but it's the best place to meet my BOTL.
I like going to cigar bars/lounges because I don't like smoking alone, it's more relaxing than sitting on my patio, and it's warm.
I agree, but even in the summer it's sometimes easier to meet my friends at the lounge, especially if it's too hot outside. It's both extremes that make outside smoking miserable. And if I have to smoke outside in the cold, I have a pipe. :pipe:Quote:

couple times a week to meet up with guys from the forums or to watch football.
Once a month during our local pipe club meets. A little more in the winter when I don't feel like stoking a fire in the garage.
Rarely here - maybe once a year. I have a pretty good setup for home smoking/cigar bumming on the laptop :)
For me, there are several tobacco shops within 40 minutes driving, but none have a lounge. I too, am fortunate enough to have a relatively comfortable place indoors to smoke at home. However, there is a bar about 20 minutes away that I go to every month. This is a cigar bar in the basement of a rather upscale restaurant. Owner holds a tasting event every month. Has a cigar rep in, a liquor salesman, and a beer vendor all providing samples. Puts out a small buffet as well. 10 bucks get you in, and he discounts boxes during the event. Bar prices are on a par with other bars, so you don't get soaked on drinks. Been going since March of this year. Nice place, and they treat me like I'm in there every day. Owner knows my my name and what I like to smoke, and the bar knows what I drink. The liquor guy's pretty friendly, and he's a wealth of information when it comes to booze. It also makes for a nice couple hours with my son, who goes with me as well. Met more than a few nice people there.
Rarely for me.
I normally hit the lounge when I'm meeting some grade school buddies for a herf.
Went a few times alone and will probably try to hit them a bit more often now that it's getting cold.
