I've been meaning to post this fantastic article written by Dennis Prager for a while now. This guy just nails it. It's rather long, so here is the link.

Fidel Castro announced his resignation today as president of Cuba and commander in chief of Cuba's military. The resignation ends nearly a half-century of iron-fisted rule that inspired revolutionaries but frustrated 10 U.S. presidents.

THE KEY TO SMOKING INDOORS

Believe it or not, it is possible to smoke cigars indoors and not have the room smell like an ashtray the next day. From my own personal experience, you only need three things:

1. Lasko 2155A window fan (pulls the smoky air outside)

2. Lampe Berger fragrance lamp (eliminates any remaining odors)

3. An understanding spouse (puts up with your cigar smoking)

The first two items can be found by simply clicking on them. As for number three... you're own your own.

Basically my chair is right next to the window the fan is in. I keep the fan on medium because it’s not as loud as the high setting and works just as well. I first light the Lampe Berger fragrance lamp. I'll have the lamp burning while I smoke, then for about 30 minutes afterwards. Finally, once I’m done I spray a couple of blasts of Febreze on my chair and the next day even the most sensitive noses can’t smell a thing.

One last thing: Remember to shut any nearby vents while you’re smoking to avoid circulating smoky air throughout the rest of the house.
