What do you smoke when it's hot as F'ck???

[whodeeni]

I'm outside smoking a gurkha legend toro... surprisingly very tasty and i'm
chasing it off with a mix of green rooibos and yerba mate tea!

I'm starting to think that the toro is a little to big of a vitola for a hot ass
day like today. What do you fella's think?

[Emjaysmash]

I tend to smoke a robusto or shorter mild smoke. That or a pipe goes nicely for a lazy sunday.

[Cigary]

I hear ya...gonna be warm here in the Atlanta area today. We live in a nice cool place with lots of the Georgia Pine Trees that shade our patio deck so I am going to put some beer in the freezer until it just gets those ice crystals going...put a few in an ice bucket with some limes and sit in the shade watching some golf and smoke a couple of good cigars.

[kgraybill]

We are just lucky that the humidity is low enough some outside.
I'm fairly close to the b & m in Stockbridge so I go there to smoke on real hot and humid days.

[76GTFan]

HA!! Sure are alot of GA posters on this subject. And yes it is going to be hot today. Still putting off the grass until the evening, then will finish the night on the porch with a smoke.

[Blueface]

Well,
When you live in South Florida, you learn to smoke when it is hot or you don't smoke at all.
I smoke anything I like.

[whodeeni]

Sounds good gary... I have pine trees in my backyard, but none close enough to provide shade on the patio. I should take a picture of how I have my picture positioned and im sitting right next to the wall to be in the shade! *SMH*

Same here. I don't even kick the patio ceiling fan on until it hits 100. :r

Last summer, if I recall, we had seven straight weeks when it hit between 100-110 every day. I can deal with the heat - it's the cold that gets me.

[Cigary]

It's days like today or esp. when it gets into August and Sept. here in Ga. that I wonder why I'm not back in San Diego? Oh, I know why because I am renting the place out now and wish I hadn't done that. Next year I'm taking it back and living there when it is summer here in Hotlanta!

[MiamiE]

A nice menthol grit.

[whodeeni]

What's a Grit Erick?:D


A nice menthol grit.

[MiamiE]

A cigarette! :r

[alwayslit]

If it's 95 or above I'll stay away from full power smokes.

[Adriftpanda]

I can't stand the heat, if it's hot, I just won't smoke. Why am I going to put myself through that torture?

SacramentoBrad is a great story about this... I hope he chimes in. Hahahahahaah

PC is my size. I don't have a particular smoke, but when it's hot, (as it often is in Houston), I prefer light beer and smooth cigars. nothing too bitter or heavy. I also switch from buying scotch to vodka, and bratwurst to hot dogs on the grill.

[whodeeni]

Sounds great Jeff,

My meat of choice is Homemade venison sausage!:tu and I just bought
a 30pack of Budweiser Select Last night!:r

mmm, we have a ton of Whitetail in south Texas. I'm no grill expert but slow and low seems to do the trick every time. I'm jealous!

New guy reporting in...

Similar here in the middle of South Carolina.
Humid, not too hot but the air is heavy.

Picked out a Trinity and decided it would be too much
for the heat so I am going to settle on a Fuente Gran Reserva Maduro.A little beefy, but not as much as the Trinity.
Along with some very chilly Yuengling Lager in a frosted pint glass!

[whodeeni]

Welcome Cygnus! Make sure to do a thread in the
Newbie section (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=7)!

What is a Trinity Brotha? Never heard of that one and
Yuengling is a great cheap choice for a beer! 3.00 a
pint at the pizza place i used to frequent last year!

H3ll, come to Arizona in late June.
You don't even need a lighter, 'cause your
cigar will spontaneously combust. :ss

I smoke any size I have the time for.
And I have a lot of time.

[Cygnus X1]

Caught me before I could fix it.

Trinidad!

(D'oh)

I lived in Phoenix/Scottsdale around 83 to 86.
I got used to it, heat doesn't bother me.

Humidity is a b*tch...but somehow it enhances my enjoyment
of a fine cigar.
I suspect it has something to do with the fact I can't seem to
keep my humidor...humid enough.

But that would be a whole other thread.

[whodeeni]

Even worse Smokin... Go to Phoenix in August! *lol*
I wasn't a smoker then, but I was out there for
a conference in Aug '06 and that dry heat was
smoldering!

Rooms at this very expensive resort were 90.00 a night
(can't remember the name off the top of my head) but
they were normally 350!

Welcome to AZ... resort rooms go for $300 - $400 and greens fees go for the same... all in the winter of course.

As summer approaches, I find myself smoking robustos more.

[Cygnus X1]

For God's sake I work in a steel mill!

I better like the heat.
:D

First bumper sticker I noticed in Phoenix:
"I'm not afraid of Hell...I live in Phoenix".

[scoop]

If it's to hot...nothing. I'll stay inside with a cold beverage.
