First favorite place is my local cigar shop. Shop is run by a wonderful gentleman named Max. He makes you feel as if you were in his living room. Nice leather seating area, always some interesting conversation, and 21,000 sticks to choose from. The other favorite place is on my apartment balcony, facing west, watching the sun go down. I personally don't need anything else when I'm smoking a cigar, as in newspaper, computer, magazine. No offense intended to the other posters. Just my personal preference. Always looked at my smoking time as an event. For the same reason, never smoke on a golf course. I love each passion too much on it's own to share. Would rather finish the round, and then spend an hour either celebrating the round or trying to forget about it with a favorite smoke.
