I can get away with deer hunting when there's a North wind at the farm....I don't care if it limits my odds as there's always next weekend....

I like smoking with friends but as I dont have many that smoke I find I am usually smoking by myself. I have learned to really enjoy that time with just me and my smoke. I have a man cave area in the garage with my tv and firepit setup that I enjoy especially during football season. I also have a covered porch that looks out over the runway of our local airport so on nice spring/summer days I really enjoy sitting out there watching all the small planes and helicopters come and go all day.
An extra chair or two can always be found in either location for friendly smokers.

Mine would have to be sitting around the campfire after a day of hunting, especially if one of us filled a tag...then it's a nice beer, some tenderloin on the grill and a tasty smoke.
Second to that would be sitting around the fire while just on a normal camping trip.

While my normal happy place to smoke a stogie is on the patio or in the garage, I take special pleasure in smokin' lakeside in the Eastern Sierras...

I'm usually in the garage alone with a book and a cigar if the weather is nice I'll sit out on the deck. When I get the chance though I love to sneak down to the neighborhood pond, especially if it's a week day and kids are in school drag a chair out on the dock and just sit in peace and quiet with a cigar and a cold beer. Having said that though the beach trumps it all especially if it's on the gulf coast where I grew up

My Happy Place is my back porch, in my "comfy chair" with all three dogs sprawled out on their outside beds, a book in one hand and a cigar in the other. Used to include a glass of scotch, but I am on a "no alcohol" cleanse.

I tried that no alcohol cleanse earlier this year as well. It was the worst 48 hours of my life

This is what cigar enjoyment is all about. Slowing down and smelling the roses (or burning, dried and fermented leaves), as it were.

I know that story! I have to go out of the house to escape the kids. When it's not freezing cold I like going for walks in Chicago. Otherwise smoking on the beach in California when it's still a little foggy out is my favorite place to relax with a good stick.

Sitting around a campfire anywhere. Second place: back porch most evenings at home, listening to the sound of our water feature and watching the birds and the squirrels.
