California is very hostile to smoking, although to be fair, the vast majority of smokers only smoke cigarettes. I think most people don't even realize that cigars and pipes are included when you legislate anti-tobacco laws.
As a result, I have tended to smoke alone, although @TheGrumpyOleTroll , @defetis , @Sweet Cigars and I used to v-herf a lot.
My wife and I have enjoyed a cigar together on a handful of occasions, so I guess technically now I tend to smoke with another person?
