I'm fortunate in that I live in a climate which allows me to smoke outside, or in the garage, all year round. I never smoke indoors, but I can also smoke in my truck when I'm going here and there. Going to a cigar lounge to hang with people that I don't know or don't have much in common with doesn't interest me much. I'd rather go up to my neighbor's house and share a smoke with a guy I know and respect, rather than others...my free time is limited, so I'm pretty picky about who I spend it with, and how I'm spending it.

Now, there is the issue about meeting new and different folks, and yes, there's value there, but I treasure my close friends and my alone time. When I was younger, maybe that would have been different. I dunno...just now my thang, I reckon...
