One of the most important and perhaps least discussed aspects of cigar smoking is the circumstances that you find yourself in when you decide to light up. Think back to one of your favorite smoking experiences like the first time you puffed on what is now a go to favorite smoke, or maybe your first cigar, and think about the situation you found yourself in. More likely than not, you were in a really positive atmosphere: be it celebrating a promotion at work; the birth of your first child, or simply relaxing alone on the front porch in the summertime watching the sunset. These sorts of situations are quite conducive to an enjoyable cigar experience and blends we smoke during these times tend to carry with them positive associations into the future.
Beyond these associations, the location in which we smoke our cigars plays a large role in how we go about doing that. In the summer time, weather permitting, you can smoke just about anywhere. There's nothing like having a couple of friends over for some grilling and stogies. Smoking outside also means, in most instances, that you don't have to be tremendously worried about making sure you make it in the ash tray. As if we needed another reason to smoke outside when the weather is nice. But what about during the winter months, when the weather here in the good ol' Northeast isn't quite so friendly? In such circumstances, I have found that my local cigar shop/lounge is just the place to enjoy a tasty stogie and some exceptional company. The ambiance of many a cigar lounge is just the right balance of relaxation and refinement, which is sure to make your cigar smoking experience that much better.
In short, there are a lot of places in which you can thoroughly enjoy a cigar, so leave your problems at the proverbial door and let the positivity flow like the smoke from your stogie!
