Happy place

[jhedrick83]

I'm sitting on my porch enjoying a cigar and some bourbon with heavy rain coming down. No music no company, just the sound of the rain and some birds. I really enjoy the social aspect of cigars but there's something incredibly peaceful about a great cigar and relaxing with nature. The only other thing that comes close to this is the crackle of a fire and the stars above. Sorry for going straight hippie on you guys but it's just a reminder that life can be so hectic and crazy you have to enjoy those moments when they come along.

Do any of you guys have a happy place? What's your favorite way to enjoy a cigar?

Same for me, I love sharing one with a few friends on the golf course and at the 19th hole but there is something to be said for the back porch by myself. For me with the age of my kids an hour of solitude is hard to come by even on the weekends. Add a cigar in there and it's even better.

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.

I'm slowly working on my happy place in the basement. Until then my happy plave will have to be outside on one of our decks. It's great to enjoy a cigar and some beer while listening to the sounds of nature.

Unfortunately today that means the aound of some rather vocal crows.

I generally open up the doors on the detached garage. I don't often drink with a smoke but do enjoy it from time to time with rye whiskey being my favorite.

I love the sound of rain and watching electrical storms. Fire is always awesome as are the sounds of nature and sight of stars and the moon, which my daughter has always been quite interested in (had to get an app for star gazing).

We've always enjoyed primitive camping to get away from the noise.

My happy place is arguing over next year's budget lines at work and wishing I could smoke there. Oh, wait, that's my unhappy place. My happy place is having a cigar in the Shenandoah mountains with a rifle at my side while I'm pretending to hunt

Do you actually smoke a cigar while hunting? I'd be concerned it would ruin my odds, though where I hunt in TX they are so thick I could easily limit out (5) in a weekend if I wanted to do that much work (and call it quits).

Once I've determined that there are no deer around, then yes, I'll fire one up. We hunt on public lands mainly, where (1) there are no deer, and (2) the few that are there get spooked by the other hunters. We refer to it as "armed hiking."

Well damn! I'll accept armed hiking with a cigar.

Do you still hunt there? That's mostly how things work here, but if I know the lease is nearly empty and people go back to camp for lunch I begin to stalk.

And at this time I was a heavy smoker. I think I somehow resisted considering I was a chain smoker.

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....
