I was chatting to your Irish Correspondent Mr R O'busto about his hunt for the perfect chair for his smoking hutch and this got me thinking about where you like to sit to smoke.

Here is my opening salvo. Some years ago I decided I needed a suitable chair for my Cybershed (office come refuge). I searched on ebay for some time and I eventually found my pride and joy. It cost me about ?15 (plus a trip to Oxford to collect it).

It's seen here, complete with Scrotum, the wrinkled retainer who dutifully holds my ash tray.

Over to you chaps!

Home office. i.e. tiny spare bedroom.
Hopefully in summer I'll spend a bit more time in the folks garden, they've just moved to a nice country retreat over looking lakes and fields et al.

Thinking of getting one of those old green/brown leather chesterfield chairs for the office...

In this damn weather I hide in my garage and put the heater and radio on. It affects the pleasure of the smoke of course but it's better than nothing. In the summer I've got a lovely spot in my garden. I bought one of those three seater, swinging seat things, (I'm sure they have a proper name).

This is pure heaven, gently rocking in the sun with a glass of wine or single malt and watching delicious clouds of stink waft gently over the fence to fumigate my neighbours freshly washed clothes dancing invitingly on the line.

Mine is either the seat of the Joyous Austin Metro or a garden seat. Not very enticing.

Nicwing, at the risk of breaking your innuendometer, your Scrotum looks amazing!

In one of the black leather chairs in the lounge, at the moment by the stove, in the kitchen, or in the summer in the conservatory in the sofa!

This sh is it is too funny. Whenever I log on and read some of your post my wife thinks im loosing my mind.I laugh and chuckle aloud to myself.
As for where do I smoke my stogies? Winter in the ( man cave) basement.
given that name by all the wives of cigar smokers that partake when they visit.And that is quite often.I have a reclining chair that my wife gifted me for Christmas 3 years ago to replace my wing chair which after 12 years I couldn't part with!Summer whereever porch,deck lawn ect. ect.

With my current home I am unable to smoke anywhere I please. So its usually outside on the porch or I hide in the basement. Not a big fan of smoking outside because the wind can be quite annoying here.

Anyone ever use one of those air purifiers? I have one but to have it most effective you need it on high, which sounds like you are in an airport hanger.

for the last few months I have been banished from the smoking in the house due to a quite whiffy Monte one December night that managed to get right round the house... I have since gone for a bit of a walk each time I wanted a puff, but as you all agree sitting and relaxing is allways the best way to enjoy a stick... well last night I found this fantastic spot about five mins from my house, I spent an hour there last night with a coffee from KFC (thats all that was open honest!) and a nice D4 twas bliss...

I have a Csonka, the small one, and to be honest it's not great. Not too bad on a Robusto or Corona Gorda, but anything bigger and you need to open a window or two now and again. It is very quiet though, even on high, and if left on overnight will do a pretty good job of clearing the air.

If you do a web search there is a lot on info out there on air purifiers, with better products than the Csonka range. A lot of them are linked to releaving asthma and similar medical conditions, however they can be very expensive.

:confused: a co-op is a fancy term for a garden apartment. or in some cases it could be a apt building. either way because it is not very big, space is limited. so i,am forced to smoke outside or the car. :hail::mad: orders from the wife.:eviltongue:

Seeing some pictures of Robusto's new sofa has reminded me that I was going to get a frame made with some of those big industrial wheels on each corner so that on a warm day I could push our kitchen sofa out onto the patio, so much nicer than garden furniture I've always thought!
