Only 5 months? I remember maybe 3-4 months a year that I enjoyed western/upstate NY lol. This topic is hard for me as I don't think cigars would ever make me move someplace. I guess if I had to pick a place to smoke and live it would be Northern Arizona that way I could sit outside most of the year and still have great things to see and do close by.
To be fair, this has been an especially brutal winter. I'm in Rochester, born and raised, and the amount of snow coupled with the non-stop extremely low temps has really made it rough. Either one of those alone isn't so bad, but the combo is horrible. But hey, we don't have to worry about earthquakes, forest fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, etc so it's not all bad :)

Also a lack of mosquitoes this time of year...;)

Key West
I love Key West and don't think I could live anywhere else year round. Ive lived my whole life on this little off beat island and theres nowhere else like it. I enjoy traveling but this will always be my home. And screw you guys it is cold when it gets in the 50s :LOL:

And thanks for the compliment that cigar was one of my home rolls.

I remember when the family was living in Jamacia. Other members of the Family would come to visit in March - it was in the low 70's for the love of Pete and they were sunbathing and jumping in the pool!! I was walking around in jeans and sporting a jean jacket lol!!

I never knew cold, until a work trip to upstate NY last Feb. It was painfully cold, like -5 midday with a wicked wind chill. It was my first experience like that besides spending a day at Big Bear Lake, and I vowed never to bitch about a California winter again.

However, I have quickly forgotten that pledge and I whine like a baby and refuse to go outdoors when the temperature drops below 70.

I grew up in Buffalo and wouldn't move back full time for anything. Winters cold and grey, summers humid and grey with misquotes fall and summer can be okay. Honestly the only thing I miss is the fall and food but I spend the last part of August-mid September in the Adirondacks every year. Just look at tunnels RIT has because of the cold ;) Colorado can have forest fires but thats about all we get other than random years with huge rain or snow. Even when we get snow in Denver it usually only lasts a few days and then I can be out in a light jacket.

Tunnels at RIT? Where? I was there for four years and froze my ass off walking around campus, lol!

I lived in the keys for almost 10 years I miss it terribly. We still have a house on Big Pine. It has been kind of a struggle to afford it but we have sacrificed so that we will retire there. If I make it to retirement.
My kids were born at lower keys medical center.

This is my phone background one of my favorite spots. Content Key it's in the back country, white sand beaches appear at low tide.

Pay that house off quick - retire early I say :).

Very good thread where we tend to cement our ideas of places where we've smoked our cigars and made it a reminder of how we felt...what we liked about, etc. I've been lucky enough to travel to a lot of places here in this country and around the world and I've always tried to make it a point to smoke a cigar to keep a memory of it. I can visually go back to some places where I've been...the Straits of Gibraltar..Coliseum in Rome...Venice...Spain..France...you get the idea. Cigars just seem to enhance my experiences in my life...they are a conduit for memories and and like a lot of others have talked about Key West comes to mind as well. When I lived in S. Florida I'd ride my motorcycle down to the Keys and had a nice big windshield and cigar holder and while looking out over the water while smoking a great cigar I had to pinch myself to understand how fortunate I was to enjoy this moment in life. One place isn't any better than others as much as it's how certain places make us feel...that's why they call them "special places."
