Here in Alaska we don't have any cigar lounges. There is one private club that allows cigar smoking however it's crazy expensive. I do most of my cigar enjoying on the back deck with a very large fire pit in the winter.

Back yard, garage, and once in a while in the house right by the back door with the window open and fan going so the wife don't get mad when she wakes up in the morning.

Usually wherever I light up, unless I don’t .

Oregon sucks as far as lounges, very few indoors (4 maybe statewide) very restrictive (I mean thoughtful) leadership that cares about individual rights (I mean control) and free choice (as long as it falls within the crowns mandates).

NO SMOKING in bars or restaurants.

On the bright side you can shoot up wherever you want and drug possession of heroin and coke is a misdemeanor......smoke a cigar in a park and God help you.

Mostly on covered back porch. Been bundled up with gloves since winter has came a little early this year lol. Thinkin about getting some sort of outside propane heater.

Cigars International in The Colony, TX (Dallas area) is a great place to smoke if u in the area.

Back deck when it's not raining, front porch when it is. Fire pit is a close third. I braved cold temps for the first year, but started frequenting a couple local lounges since then

Nice! You'll love it. They have a ginormous walk-in humidor that has sticks u can't find in their online inventory. Last time I was there I found some Viaje Zombie Red (maduros). Almost all of their cigars are buy 5, get the 6th free. Needless to say I got 6 of the zombie reds. Herfing

Anchorage which is large but you can still drive from one end of the town to the other in 15 minutes during rush hour traffic.
I have a cabin about 3 hours outside of Anchorage and that's my favorite place to spend time.

I live in Florida. So, I have a nice little area out back that I smoke. It seems as long as I make payments on the house, the wife doesn’t complain. 👍🏻

I think 98.2% of the time I smoke in my garage. Once in awhile a cigar event in town (...Waikiki Prince Hotel or The Row Bar...) or in HOnizuka's garage when we herf. Maybe once a year we go to a classmate's daughter's place up Tantalus and smoke on the back lanai with a great view of Downtown Honolulu and the ocean.

mostly in the man cave, which is a cozy converted attached single car garage, while watching sports events on the plasma TV...occasionally in the backyard patio, when the weather is nice and there isn't anything interesting on TV...

also while walking at night, 3-4 miles on the sidewalks around the neighborhood...

don't smoke in the house...

True...…...I like Anchorage and Juno but absolutely love Ketchikan and Kodiak Island.I could live in any of them but given a choice Kodiak wins hands down.

On my couch. One of the benefits of being single. It doesn't even stink up my place that badly because there's zero carpet in my apartment. I just open the windows and point the fan toward them.

Yeah, but I use my left hand so it sorta seems like someone else is doing it.

I tried painting my nails once to make it even more realistic, but that was way too much work for a 60 second payoff.

I like going to my local B&M, shoot some pool, watch a game on the big screen, play some poker or some chess...
at home I'll smoke in my garage or in the sunroom, or outside on the deck when it's warm.

Our house is in deep woods above a big bay, so I smoke on upper deck in summer and autumn. Can touch trees from both decks. Smoke on front porch during our long rain season.
Have a 40-degree rule - no cigars when thermometer dips below 40.

Usually garage with the door cracked open. Don't care for the subdivision life for that and many other reasons. Nothing but a house or two, or ten, to look at, even though we're in a Creek bottom.

Never indoors, lounges have to be pretty open or high air turnover, just gives me a headache as will a "cigarette smoke" filled bar.

I smoke a lot of places, sometimes bush-hogging, fishing, riding the backroads. It's all good.

Front porch, deck, or the 3 season room in winter. The neighbor as a closed in porch we hit sometimes. Gotta have heat though.

Back in NJ I used to have a ventilated enclosed smoke room with A/C and heat. Now that I'm in the NC mountains, I smoke under my RV's awning. In the winter I wear thermal coveralls, and sit next to one of those infrared disk heaters. That thing really puts out the heat. It works way better then those tank top propane heaters I used to use. Hopefully I'll be starting my shop/storage building in the spring, and that will have a dedicated smoke room with heat, A/C a TV and fridge.

Smoke in the back yard, usually later at night. Can pretty much do that year round, but the Summers are a pain, have to slather yourself with deet to keep the damn mosquitoes off. Humidity is a real pain in summer too, dry box everything in order to ensure good combustion.

Front porch (covered) or rear patio (uncovered) or man cave, which is a 12x20 shed in the yard that I insulated and it has wifi, flat screen, it's own fuse box, frig, toilet, smoke eater, etc. If it had a kitchen I'd live out here.

Oh yeah, it also has dozens and dozens of pieces of signed memorabilia in it - and an alarm system.

Outdoors mainly. Sometimes it is too hot or too cold.

Sometimes when I am by myself, I like to go to one of several special places.

A path through a long grove of maples in Fall.

A bench in the park down by the river where a small sulphur spring bubbles up.

A boardwalk in the swamp with alligators and cane pole fishermen.

A Veterans Memorial Park with memorials to every war including over 20 lesser "conflicts".

A Grotto on the side of the hill where if I was Catholic I could pray and get an indulgence for six months.

A small dam on a creek that as kids we used to call the "Smokin Dam".

An ancient teepee circle on a bluff overlooking Highwood Baldy.

Mainly on the weekends -

Around the bonfire
On the deck facing the west
On the covered balcony facing the north
On the covered porch facing the south
In the Jeep
In the Geo Tracker I bought from Stiegs
(still don't understand why he put all the purple crushed velvet accents all over the interior)

Ideal days, 3 or more smokes
Schitty weather - 1 or 2 per day

Occasional pipe smoking indoors in front of the fireplace

In the back country -
When I take a break on a hike. The flask comes out as well.
When I'm settled in camp

In my h.u.t....which has faux paneling made from alternating panels of amazon and walmart boxes rescued from the dumpster down behind the 7-11 --- no electricity, so I got a little fire pit in the middle for burning chewy boxes for heat

izon, that Geo wasn't really mine....and it wasn't really a Tracker.....you're going to have to ask KotC for the title if you want to register it

It’s freezing and covered in snow here in Boston. I smoke inside, but I have a system. In the window is an exhaust fan, and a window in the kitchen is open, blowing air in that direction.
When I set up, I put my air purifier on my table on max, than a smokeless ash tray which sucks up smoke. I also use a Smoke Buddy, or a Sploofy. They’re mainly made for pot smokers and wear out quickly from cigar smoke but help ALOT.
Finally when finished I use 3 things. First, regular Febreeze I spray down furniture, drapes,carpet etc. then the Febreeze mist for the air, finally I spray Ozium in short blasts. I also have Glade plugins all over the house.
Sounds like a lot of work but I’m used to it and it does a relatively good job. I’m sure by now I could’ve bought a RabbitAir with the many small purchases I make. But. It works.
