A good cigar, a glass of single malt, and good company are a hard to beat combination I must agree and a trio that I enjoyed for many a year.

Sadly, I know myself well enough and know that a good cigar has more than once foiled my efforts to stop smoking cigarettes so I have had to swear them off also, but I still love to aroma of a good cuban and still enjoy the occasional fellowship to solve the worlds problems.

There are a few groups of men and women here in TV that also enjoy a good smoke also, but it is a relatively small number and many meet at private residents and enjoy one of life's finer pleasantries on the privacy of their front porch or lanai. Go for an evening drive in the golf cart with your nose I bloodhound mode and within a few minutes you will sniff one of these groups out. Stop in and introduce yourself.

As far as a public venue, these are much rarer and unfortunately you will also have to deal with some of the self righteous moral police that walk the streets of our community wearing an overdose of their $3/gallon cheap perfume and complaining about the "smell" and spouting insults. (best solution I ever saw for this was on a cruise ship a few years ago in the smoking area, 2 women (won't use the word ladies, they weren't) came over and started lecturing a group of guys about their "disgusting habit", no strangers to the lectures, they all took a deep drawl and all at the same time engulfed the 2 in a huge cloud of fragrant aroma, the two left very quickly, and their problem solving continued unabated there after...). You can expect the same type of comments by the moral police here to your post that should also be duly ignored.

Enjoy!
