ah yes, sitting in the garage, with my lit cigar, the door slightly open to allow a howling cold wind to come in to cool me down, lovely scenery of broken dressers, old suitcases, TV trays I used as a kid, and randomly arranged filth, the light is dim and soft as a solitary light bulb keeps things a light. The dog at my feet content though I won't mention the colorful odors emitting from her. Liquid refreshment perched gently on top of an old record player, right next to the radio giving new insights each night into Elian Gonzales. It doesn't get any better than this.

Aberdeen, sounds like you have the same taste in decor as myself. Aside from the flatulating dog, you've described my "smoke room" accurately. I do have a small storage closet off of the garage just big enough for my tool bench. Tools, of course, are strewn about so as to make room for the necessities -- radio, t.v. and VCR. The t.v. gave out days ago (no tears shed, please) in the midst of a Schwarzenegger classic. An old chair rescued, once destined for the garbage when I wasn't looking, holds in it the posterior sculpted by many mugs of premium beer. This effort spent in creating proper atmosphere all for the small bundle of leaves burning in my hand. You're right, things are good.

yes CL, I forgot to mention the chair, mine has the filling coming out, and the middle has completely collapsed sagging. Not to mention the cat likes to sleep on it when I am not using it. He has different odors from the dog, I can't decide which is worse. My wife wants to have a yard sale, but I told her, what for? We couldn't give this rubbish away.

With regards to the little Cuban boy. Had I been president this would have been settled in a day. I would have simply told Fidel, give me 25 boxes of Montecristos #2 and 25 boxes (50 size mind you) of Punch Doble Coronas, and the boy is yours. And I want your inspectors to go through the factories and hand pick each cigar to fill my boxes. That ought to last me until the next politicized crisis coming out of Cuba.

For me it's the recently acquired front yard. A pile of leaves smoldering, pale ale in hand. And a puff, puff, puff, puff... Here's a hot tip for ya, I recieved 5 Dos Rios in the mail today(along w/ 5 don juan)... the Dos Rios were the best looking cigar I have bought in a while..I can't wait to try them. If you can, pick them up..

True, nothing's better than the great outdoors, when the weather's right. A little fire in the chimenea keeps good company on the back porch when it's chilly. Hey, let us know how the Dos Rios smokes.

Easy now on the prejudism/racism, Mark. Kids are innocent. It's the adults that are wrong about "what-we-adults-do-of-wrong-things-in-generally". Agree? As an outsider (I'm hailing from Denmark) that thing with the Cuban kid, has surely been an odd one to watch. What are those folks/exile cubans about?

Sounds like it's right out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Thanks for the post.

Well, I had to brave a chilly night on Sunday with a Perdomo Reserve, a certian Porter from PA., and some Diana Krall on the back deck...kept me warm and fuzzy :)

well at least somebody is able to enjoy their cigars without feeling like they are at an trailer park in the industrial sections of Detroit. Those excalibur #1's are mighty tasty, for me a good two hour smoke.

Sitting on my second floor deck, enjoying a Bahia Maduro (or anything maduro)with a good friend, listening to the kids next door shouting in some other language (Arabic?), the sounds of the trucks moving on the nearby expressway...What a life..It gets better though (hehheh)..Enjoying a V Centennial (thanx Aberdeen) or an Andros Maduro Robusto while on midnight shift in my squad...Windows rolled down halfway on a beautiful 60 degree night, the neighborhood unbelievably silent at 3AM...Just me and my reflections...I love it!
