Hey guys, as the title states, i'm in a bit of a dilemma. I really want to smoke a cigar but 1. no smoking in my condo per contract, 2. it's 18*F outside, 3. There's no public indoor place to smoke cigars due to the smoking ban.
What should I do?

Bundle up, pull up them man britches and go outside for a smoke.
Just finished a Padilla Miami Robusto in 26F.... Though I would go inside after every few puffs.....then back out in 1-2 minutes....repeat....

Do it. We were in the garage last night with the rollup door open. We sucked it up.

Go smoke in you car.
well, sounds like your only option is to bundle up. but if it were me, I'd smoke inside.
Who's going to know? ;)

Aside from what has been said already. Sounds like your problem is only going to get worse as it is just the beginning of the cold. Might be time to start looking for a space heater and a snuggie for your balcony. Either that or your smokes may get another few months of rest in your box. Why no smoking in your car if you dont mind me asking. Is it a convertible? Enjoy your smoke the cold wont last forever

I just smoked in my garage. I guess you will have to bundle up and go outside, since you can't smoke in the condo.

Hey guys, I'm taking a quick warm up break. Also the wind is picking up a little. Decided to smoke an H. Upmann Mag 46... First time smoking one! Very nice, relaxing cigar. The wind is causing a little uneven burning, but it's not too bad!
This is the reason why I don't smoke in my car:

Get yourself a air cleaner for your car , a cigar Bobken and a can of Ozium . Don't let any ashes hit the upholestry and empty the Bobken when you're done smoking . Heres a link to one similar to mine - http://cgi.ebay.com/Vehicle-Car-Oxygen-Bar-Auto-Air-Purifier-Refreshener_W0QQitemZ300371156384QQcmdZViewItemQQp tZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item45ef841da0 :tu

Clearly you need to find a friend that owns there own house or is allowed to smoke in their rental and introduce that friend to the joys of hand rolled cigars. Teach them how to properly cut and light a cigar, maintain a humidor, and then show them the joy that is C-Bid. By that time you'll practically have your own private lounge be it in someone else's house, but that should maintain you until you lease is up and you can move into a proper rental that lets you do as you please.

Its a great looking car but I cant see the no smoking sign. LOL. Dont take that the wrong way. Thats just me though. Why own something if I cant enjoy it. You may not enjoy your car as much if you smoke in it. I know I felt that way for a long time in my truck. Then I was stuck at in Oklahoma a couple of years ago with a non-smoking room and after finding three bars where I couldnt smoke a cigar I just decided to go for a drive. If I clean up once I am done i cant tell. But then again its not that cold out.

You need to sell your car then. My old truck smells like a horse's ass (according to the lady), so I make it smell good with a nice cigar :ss

well, I have been traveling to and from Texas quite a bit the past 3 years. I had a house in Texas but I wasn't living in it. So I sold it and now I just have two condos.....

Don't smoke in your car?
Can't borrow one from a friend that smokes?
Rent one for the day/urge. Even if they don't allow smoking, if they say something, tell them you got it that way.
Cost of cigar $5
Cost of rental car $50
Cost of being able to smoke when you have nowhere else to? Priceless

I used to be a big no smoking in the car person but no longer feel that way. After being through many many nice cars kept immaculate and still taking a bath on resale I look at cars as being a sort of disposable item not as an investment. So now I smoke in my cars and with the right remedies you can cut down on the smell. Only car I won't smoke in is my wifes truck. But just out of respect for her. I am the opposite of you where I won't smoke in my house as I don't want the stale smell lingering in the house.
Sounds like you have three options.
A- no smoking in the winter B-freeze your @ss of while smoking or C- suck it up and smoke in your car.
FYI,If you crack the rear drivers window with all your other windows closed and crank the heat to the floor most of the smoke will billow right out of the window. I have been smoking in my current vehicle at least twice a week for over a year and no burns and most can't tell I smoke in it.
