Out on the front porch right now!

I agree. Here in FL, the outdoors are much more comfortable this time of year. I'm usually relegated to the garage myself, but the in-laws house has a lovely front porch complete with handmade rocking chairs. I'm the only one in the family who smokes anything, but usually the father in law will come out for a chat.

Here in NY it was fairly warm yesterday but way too windy last night to sit outside and smoke. The wife had a girls night out, so I went to the local B&M and sat in the lounge for a good 4 hours. On Saturdays they are open until 11pm. It was a nice night. I met a few great people managed to smoke a Padron 1964, a CAO Italia and wrapped up the night by trying an Onyx. The Onyx was way too mild for a finisher in that line up but for me it was not too bad as I smoked that after a little dinner so although it was mild it was nice after chowing down on some food. All in all it was a great night. Like I mentioned above, I met some great people and just relaxed while watching the Barrett Jackson auction.

The pix of my house was made last winter , inwhich we have very little snow ever. But last night I dont know what it was but it was almost spring time weather at 1:30 am and I didnt even know it. About 1 I decided to put the dog in the shop and when I went outside I couldnt believe it , so when I went back in I grabed a stick,ashtray and the laptop and outside I went! One the other hand its about 36 out there now and Im back inside but it was great while it lasted!

Sounds like you had a great time smoking on your porch. I'm looking forward to the warmer Spring weather so I can sit out on my balcony and enjoy some stogies.

I remembered my dad having card parties and my uncle Floyd (the most obnoxious person in the world, God I love him) smoking and playing cards, taking time to give us cousins some money and then telling us to go back into the TV room. I remember my grandfather and his croneys in the back yard talking in Spanish laughing out loud, drinking that red wine. He would always give me old boxes for my school projects. How I wish I had one of those boxes right now to study. No one remembers what he smoked, only that they all hated it. Hmm, gotta run and tell my dad I love him, huh?

Nice to see another New Mexican in the jungle! We are fortunate this winter to be able to go outside for a smoke, as mild as its been. I'm down in Socorro but get up to Abq. fairly often as my inlaws are up there. Adios.
