I always smoke outside. Most frequently I am on my own and will smoke either on the front porch of my farmhouse colonial, or sometimes on the patio in the backyard during the Spring, Summer and Fall. Winter is another animal entirely. Most of the time I opt for the front porch as I can hear the babbling (sometimes rushing if it has rained, or during the winter thaw) of the brook across the road in front of my home (great place to fish also...lots of brown trout). During these instances, my smoking is done at night after the kids are in bed, and I've gone on my daily 3 mile run. I'll usually bring the dogs out with me and sit down and relax with a good smoke while just letting my mind wander. On occassion I might bring out a portable DVD player and watch a movie, or take the opportunity to return telephone calls that I have neglected to return. On occasion my wife may come out and sit with me for awhile to talk about the kids, family, the weekend, work, vacation plans, etc. On these evenings I will usually smoke with a glass of water, or some type of soda, as I don't like to drink alcohol right after a run.
I also like smoking with the handful of friends I have who appreciate a good smoke. This is usually during parties or BBQs that we have at the house. We will sit out in the backyard dining table enjoying a fine smoke with either beer, scotch, bourbon, rum, tequila, red wine (cab, zin or pinot noir), or sometimes a combination or all of the above. We will talk cigars, sports, wine, beer, booze, women...basically any number of things. The sure things here are a fine protein loaded meal, a great smoke, and of course getting sloshed.
The other place I smoke is when playing golf at the club, whether playing on my own with friends, or other members. However, I never light up until the back 9. The funny thing is the back 9 is more difficult, but I always score better. Must be the cigar...
