Thinking about firing one up......in the house

[Namerifrats]

The wife and I spent Christmas with her family in Lakeland FL this year. I drove back by myself Thursday so I can go back to work this week. She will be staying in FL until next Sunday when her and my two children fly back home. I'm thinking....I have the whole house to myself. Can't sleep....why not fire up a smoke. Currently 19 degrees outside (here in Winston Salem NC), so don't wanna go out there. I pretty much have the basement to myself in this house, it's finished with carpet and drop ceiling. Not much chance of the smell getting into the 1st or second floor of the house. Anyway, she's 650 miles away, and I have 7 days and a full bottle of febreze.... Also have a large sliding glass door down here to help with the airing out process tomorrow.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission. Go for it. And I feel you on the cold (being only about 90 minutes south of W-S).

[icehog3]

I smoke in my basement (finished) several times a week, and can't usually tell by the next morning.

I like that, Definitely true!

[Skywalker]

Go for it... just be prepared for the consequences!!!;)

[bobarian]

Smoke with the glass door open and the heater on. When you are done dump the butts before you go to sleep. The next morning spray down with Oust or another odor neutralizer. Last thing before she gets home is to use Carpet Fresh and vacuum. I smoke daily in my house and clean and spray before my grandkids come to visit. Works like a charm! :tu

[Pauly Walnuts]

I was just thinking about doing the same being the temperature here is even worse, -5. so theres no way im goin out there. but then weighing the consequences if i did would probably worse than suffering out there for an hour so ill just wait till tomorrow :( If i was in your situation though id light up.

[duckmanco]

I ain't got the stones for that caper... no way no how.. good luck to you though.

[Subvet642]

I smoke in my house, and you can't even tell after a couple of hours. Go for it! :ss

I Wouldn't Do It!!!! Women Can Smell "Anything" & "Everything"!:r:tu

[ScottieM]

I Wouldn't Do It!!!! Women Can Smell "Anything" & "Everything"!:r:tu

I tried that before. She found out and I agreed never to smoke in the house again. End of Story.

Another words, GO FOR IT!!!

[Adriftpanda]

Tell her it was a late Xmas gift for yourself.
On a real note, I hear coffee beans gets the smell out very fast.

[GWN]

You could always tell her it's better than the other odours you produce :)

[joeobx]

Whats the worst that can happen
:jd :tt

[hotreds]

No worries...

I smoked new years with a little honeywell air purifier going next to me so I could be part of the party. Next morning you could not smell a thing and my fiance is one to notice.

This is so unfortunately true.

My wife has allowed me to smoke in the house for the last couple of days due to the crappy weather outside. I use a small fan with a couple of windows cracked and a candle burning it's done he job thus far.

Chris.....

Do you use one of the scented candles while you smoke? Or a plain candle? I would think the scented candle might help with the smell afterwards, but I wouldn't want that scented crap in the air while I'm smoking!!

[Namerifrats]

So did you do it, David?

I didn't last night. Fell asleep in my chair down here. I most defiantly will do it this evening though! Gotta head out for a few thing, probably pick up a few smokers candles and an extra bottle of febreze while I'm out. But this is defiantly happening this evening!

It's just one of my wife's candles she has lying around the house. I think the big thing is getting as much smoke outside as quickly as possible so, IMHO having good ventilation is the important thing for smoking in your home.

Make sure it's a good one as it may end up being far and few times you get to do it.

You are assuming David has no nutz. That ain't so, right David? :D

[Namerifrats]

That's correct! Digging through the coolers now! A few things on TV this evening.....I prob have time for 3 cigars....maybe 4 if I feel the urge. I'm gonna slip the glass door open a bit and set up a box fan blowing out. Not sure how well it will work because my chair is roughly 15ft from the door. Also though about maybe removing 2-3 of the ceiling tiles above my chair. Let the smoke get above the drop ceiling....lol.

Pics of basement room right before I moved in. Only been here a month, so don't have any pics with my stuff in there yet. Anyway, the cable wires over near the glass door are where the computer sits, the other wires are where my big screen sits. My chair is on the opposite wall across from the TV, where I will be smoking. White door near the glass door in the picture leads to the garage. In the second picture, that open way has another door to the garage just beyond it, and to the right inside the open way (out of sight) in the stairs leading up to the first floor, with a door closed at the top. Smell shouldn't go up there..

Lol this reminds me of a kid throwing a party while his parents are out of town and planning to get rid of all the evidence.

Exactly!:r

[Namerifrats]

lol, Oh I'm putting alot of thought and planning into this! My wife isn't that bad though. I've made her mad a few times but it was always something a bit worse, like burning up a good pot or something. Easily fixed by just buying her a new one. I love hot pepper and hot sauces, I make alot of beef jerky. I dried alot of Habaneros on the dehydrator once, and ground them up in the blender when making a sauce. She came home while that dust was still in the air. I caught hell over that one as she can't stand hot stuff. Eyes watering, nose running, all the windows open, etc. If she does smell it, she'll just roll her eyes an probably have a smart comment about it. If nothing else, it will help me pave the way for getting my smoking room built. Planning to covert a large area in the 2 car garage into a smoking room in the next year or two. She insist on parking in the garage, but I could care less, so I park my vehicle outside where vehicles belong.

[Cigarbud]

If It's that big of a worry, might I suggest....your car. You can keep warm, listen to music, good ventilation and best of all, they usually have one of their own. Just remember to keep the window cracked, or it'll stink terrible for weeks.

Sounds Like You "Might" Be OK; No Guarantees, Though! Should Be Interesting!:tu

I Think It's A "Challenge" For David, Jeff!:banger

[bobarian]

David, Put a towel at the bottom of the door leading into the upstairs just in case. First time you might want to have both the garage door and glass door open. Its the lingering smoke that can really leave odors, if the smoke is vacated quickly it doesnt have a chance to get into fabrics which will retain odor the most.

I smoke in my car all the time. Speaking of cars, I failed to mention, it might be a double whammy anyway. I smoked 5 cigars in her van on the 10 hours drive back from Florida Thurday. lol Had the window down, and I went out there this mornin and can barely smell anything. Leaving the window down in the garage all night and will shoot some Febreze in there too to be safe.

[neoflex]

I'm anxious to see how this one plays out when wifey comes home.:r:D

:r:rNow that's a strategy. Get her pissed about her stinky van, then she might let the basement slide! :banger






















Or she could just get super pissed and bring the hammer down! :confused:;s

I can just hear a bunch of guys screaming "TOGA TOGA TOGA" :D

Good luck brotha!!

[Cigarbud]

I have to say, what an awesome thread, I think it highlights a problem all of us married men deal with who live in the cold states.

[Namerifrats]

Somebody needs to light up with me tonight! I know somebody out there is in a cold area wanting a smoke. I've already finished off 2, going to like the 3rd in a few. Watching Borat..lol

I have a bottle of Fabreeze, a can of Lysol, and 3 candles lit when I smoke inside. I crack the sliding glass door and put a chair near it, where I can sit and watch TV. I also turn on the ceiling fan, in reverse, on low.

I can usually get away with it, unless one of the kids throws me under the bus and says 'Dad was smoking in the house!'

"Kids" ! I Don't See This Ending Well For You, Brother; They May Need A Little "Bribe"!:D

[Namerifrats]

UPDATE

Well, I smoked 5 cigars down here in the basement late Sunday night over in the morning hours of Monday. Just sprayed a little Frebrez around. Went to work Monday night, got back home Wednesday morning. Could barely smell anything down here. Smoked 4 more last night. Tonight, I still barely smell anything at all, very faint. Gotta go to work tonight, probably be back Saturday morning sometime. I guess I'll let it air out a bit, spray Frebreze again, and burn that Frebreze candle I bought. Pick her up from the airport Sunday afternoon, and see if she smells it. I think 98% of the smell will be gone if not completely. Id say it's at least 90% gone now.

For some odd reason non smokers can always smell the lingering smell from smokers, regardless of how faint the scent is. :2 At least in my case.

Good luck and remember to wear extra padding. :r

A cup my friend. Purchase an athletic cup. At the very least just to honor the old boy scout mantra of "Be Prepared".

Remember: It's always better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

Forgot to update yesterday...lol. Picked the wife up from the airport, she commented on the smell that stayed in her van. lol Gotta see about getting all of that out, not terrible but it did stay in there a bit. She really didn't say much about the house, but she did smell it. I have about 99% of the smell out of the basement though after about 15 cigars total during her absence :banger
