What's your ideal place to smoke?

...alone on the deck in the rain. Does that make me pathetic?

If it does, then we're both pathetic. But I don't think so. I like my own company just fine
Ideal outdoor conditions would be little or no wind. Not too hot or cold. No mosquitoes.
Ideal indoor conditions for me would be hard to accomplish because I don't like smoke hanging around in the air so I've never experienced any ideal indoor conditions. I've been in places where they have those units that supposedly remove smoke but they couldn't keep up with the volume of smoke. I suppose you could design an ideal indoor environment that would include major exhaust ventilation. But depending on the weather you might have to either heat or cool the fresh air that is being brought in.
or the outdoor fire pit
In the winter, when it's too cold even by the firepit, I have my man cave in the garage with a recliner, reading lamp, heater, and an end table. Not fancy but comfy.
And, like Echambers, I particularly enjoy sitting out on the patio smoking in the rain - assuming the humidity problem doesn't mess with my stogie..... LoL. Life is good..... :-/)
I hear you on the "alone" thing.
I love having a cigar while tinkering around the garage ... I can shut the door, crank up the music/sports radio/etc., bang on something with a hammer, play around with power tools, or just sit and relax.
It's nice to get some "alone" time --- where I can just "tune out" the rest of the world.
Hard to pick a favorite spot though....
Probably sitting on the front porch swing early on a Saturday or Sunday morning with a hot cup of coffee and nice CT wrapped cigar. Early when there's not many people out/cars on the street and all you can hear is the birds chirping.
Just nice, quiet, and peaceful. Dog's relaxing in the grass chewing on a bone, wife's reading a magazine next to me, and I got a good cigar and cup'o'joe, and maybe something to read.
Perfect way to start the day.

Okay, not really, but he was creeping me out with the whole "stare at you guys" thing.
I used to love my enclosed balcony, even in the winter because I had a space heater. Now, I have a much more comfortable back porch and I love smoking out here, rain or no. The best is a calm day with a little sun and right around the 70 degree mark. Even better if kids are in school, because that keeps the nearby skate park quiet. Nothing kills the traffic noise, except the neighbor's loud dog, but that's almost worse than the traffic. Still, it's mine.
There's a local cigar bar I've come to like, but the other side of the place is a bar/restaurant and can get a little too loud and crowded some nights. The cigar lounge stays pretty mellow, though.
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
