Just wondering if anybody enjoys a fine cigar or a pipe smoke during their games.  It's getting harder and harder to find places where you can smoke a pipe or cigar in public, but I sure enjoy it when I have the chance.  Also, for the smokers, any favorite cigars/blends for your games?  I'm a big fan of longer panatelas for chess games, as they tend to last just about the right amount of time.

I guess I'm one of the few lucky ones.. In San Jose, CA there is a new upscale outdoor shopping center called Santana Row. Down the row a bit is a large outdoor patio area that has about 10 chess tables, including one almost life-sized board, with pieces availible at the concierge, and all this right across the street from Cohiba Cigar Lounge.

You can see it here:

I smoke a pipe once a blue moon, usually on nights where I really need to do some deep thinking about my life.  It's very irregular though... I'd say maybe once every couple of months?!?  And I do smoke cigars every now and then with old friends when I go back to my hometown during college breaks.  I think I remember the AVO Domaine 10 being one of my favorite brands.

Ah, the Avo Domaine was one of my favorites.  I actually had a cat named Avo, of course my roommate was a cook, so the name became Avo-Cado

1.) This goes in the off topic forum.

2.) Smoking is bad for you.

3.) This is very random, lol

Sounds good... next time I have an hour and a smoke to drop I'll hit u up. I've only got some cheap Sancho Panzas... but maybe I'll drop some dime on an Ashton (I've gotta wait for the Cohibas) - and I've lost my pipes (in storage on the the buccaneered pirate ship Irving)... I'll let u know if I'm playing w a glass or wooden pieces. Ole;{>
