What's Too Cold

[Ogre]

With the weather getting cold, at what temp do you stop smoking out side. For me it would have to be in the low 60s.

[G G]

I sometimes brave the 5os with my heater on the porch, but not often.

[icehog3]

I smoke in my basement, so I don't smoke outside unless it's perfect out or I am at a herf.

[Blak Smyth]

Trying to decide if I will burn one tonight, supposed to be 10 degrees.
Maybe the garage door stays closed?
Ken, get that lounge built!!!

[Mattso3000]

My beer froze on me last Friday, I guess it was about 15ish. Probably 0.

[Stephen]

I love that you stop in the 40's. What you call cold, we call home.

[Ogre]

Just figured if you will below 40, it doesn't matter!!!:r:r

[stearns]

I love that you stop in the 40's. What you call cold, we call home.

i was thinking the same. i usually stop when it gets below 30, depending on how im feeling and what kind of clothes i'm wearing

[CigarNut]

When the temp drops below the mid 60's I move the the garage and plug in the heaters...

[pektel]

Mid 30's is warm here right now. That's about the threshold for me. Anything below freezing, and I don't enjoy the smoke as much.

[elderboy02]

Mid 30's is warm here right now. That's about the threshold for me. Anything below freezing, and I don't enjoy the smoke as much.

[Remo]

I am stuck smoking in the cold Larry, only option for me :td

[kelmac07]

For an outside smoke...better be at least above 32 degrees. :D

[mkarnold1]

If it gets below 20 or so, or if the wind is blowing and the weather is inclement, I just go in my Princess Party Shack (it doubles as a kids playhouse in the summer and has a small princess table and chairs in it, in addition to the regular sized chairs and table that I put in it. It was dubbed whilst drunk, and the name stuck)

Leave it to someone from Florida to refer to what northerners still consider short sleeve shirt temps outside to believe it's now time to go inside. :r

Oh well, I envy you. I'm hoping a relocation to the Orlando area is in my 5 year plan.

[Dave128]

Never too cold. Probably won't see above the 30s until the mid to end of February. I just duck into the garage. Even with the garage door all the way up, (since my wife thinks the smoke will otherwise travel into the house) it's a little better than standing outside.

[lenguamor]

Too cold is so cold that you can't bundle up enough against it to stay warm. At that point, the tobacco would probably freeze ahead of the cherry and it would be hard to keep it lit.

That's about it.

[schollianmj]

I just tried to smoke a diesel, but it is about 23 degrees out and a nice steady wind... just couldnt enjoy it. that and i dropped the damn stickk adn it landed on the cherry splitting the wrapper... I used that as an excuse to put it out and come in and thaw.

I like the colder weather, but move inside to the man cave when it's gets that low.:r

[irratebass]

Today 16 degrees is too cold, but I was smoking this past week and it was in the low 30's.....so Larry, you sir are a WIMP! :fu2

[neoflex]

Since moving to NC I have become a big p*ssy when it comes to cold. I voted for 50s and even that is pushing it.:r. Meanwhile back in NY the snow would be flying and my @ss would be outside enjoying one. Fortunately, there are still plenty of warm days here in the winter and usually January and beginning of Feb is the worst of it and than it starts getting warm again by mid to late Feb.

[Carmack]

Low 60s with no sun, 50s with sun.

[Bageland2000]

Yeah I can do 50s if it isn't too windy. I smoke about 10,000% fewer cigars in the winter. If it's cold and/or windy I feel like there's no chance that it'll be relaxing. What then would be the point of smoking a cigar? I need to go to Icehog's basement:D

[Ashcan Bill]

Upper/mid 40's is pretty much my limit, and at that point I'm pretty bundled up and probably have a log going in the little fire pit.

If it gets colder than that, I'll go find a casino to light one up in. The nice thing about Vegas is you're never more than 15 minutes from a cigar friendly casino. :ss

[jsnake]

I have smoked outside in the middle of the night when it was -17 degrees. I love the winter and it is never too cold for a good cigar. Of course I prefer spring and fall weather.

Mostly it depends on the mood I am in and how much clothing I want to put on. It is never too cold though.

[Redlegsmoker]

If I see more of my breath than smoke its too cold. But my wife seems not to mind it as long as she is downstairs.
Its going in the cellar with the temps.
Dave

[cjhalbrooks]

Well because of my wife and kids, there is no temp too cold. All you have to do is jump in your ford explorer with a warm coat. You will be fine.

[taltos]

I can put on a snowmobile suit and smoke in any weather as long as the cigar doesn't crack. We are tougher here in MA than the cigars at times.:D

[longknocker]

Below 50*, No Smoke, No Golf!:D:tu

[Ogre]

I will have to admit, I am surprised by some of the responses. We have some dedicated inmates here in the Asylum!!!!!

More Than Me!:D :r

Its not because we are dedicated more then other inmates. We are kept in the basement we are that crazy.:bdh

[BHalbrooks]

I don't smoke outside if it's 50 degrees or colder. But I have to open the window, so the breeze makes it so I have to bundle up anyways lol

If it's windy out and below freezing, I'll head to the garage. The family doesn't care for that so I'll keep it to something short if possible. But the choices listed by Larry were obviously made by our friends to the south. :r

[jcruse64]

Usually below 40 degrees for me. But if I am going to be outside anyway, I'll smoke no matter how cold. It's been anywhere from 24 to 50 here, while duck hunting, and I smoke one each time I go out.

[UpInSmoke]

The crawl space under one end of my house,about 15'x15', is on the downhill side. It's been dug out and cinder blocked. I have to duck my head a little but with a heater and a 32" TV with cable, it works for me. I hate the cold. I go down there when it gets below 60F or above 80F(stays much cooler in the summer.) I call it The Dungeon.

I think this is just a fire hazard. I want one you are sooo lucky.:dr:banger

[Blak Smyth]

It is in the teens right now but I am smoking in my garage with the door closed only my feet are cold. I am wearing a fleece zip up with a jacket on over that, not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I opened the door for a minute but that quickly ended!

[darkninja67]

Smoked in a blizzard last year, temp was 28F. Today was 25 so I smoked in the basement.

[DTM]

Its never to cold for me to step outside (-20 to +35 degrees year round at work for me), Wind is my only factor.

[Skywalker]

Had a little backyard Herf, today with a small fire!:tu

[Taki]

40 degrees however if there is a heater..Smoke 'em if you got 'em :tu

If this was Ashecliffe, we'd be in Ward C.

[Coach Deg]

I am sure people will have their opinion. When I am at home on the Gulf Coast 50 degrees unless I have a good fire going. The cold there gets to your bones and there is no way to get warm. Two nights ago had one on the balcony at 23 degrees and a light snowfall and no heater.

Humidity , wind , and all that other weather stuff play a big factor to me.

[Salvelinus]

I can tell you live in Florida. I need a 30, 20, and 10 option to even begin to think about the question. If it is below 20 I'm smoking something short.

LOL! It is kinda funky down there. Cool thing is I can drop ashes and spit on the floor!

Depends on the anti-freeze :al

Ken, get that lounge built!!!

The lounge will have to wait and won't be done till next winter but for now this has to do:

http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m595/khannaman/patioheatter.jpg

Definately helps when it's really cold out! Woudn't say it is always comfy and cozy but it certainly makes it a bit more tolerable!

[markem]

For me, what's too cold is when you show up at a nice restaurant planning to meet your new squeeze only to find out that she dumped you when you discover that she ordered takeout in your name -- for one.

That's too cold.

:tpd:

Two nights ago it was humid and about 40 degrees, windy and too cold to smoke. However last night it was clear, calm and 25 degrees and I got out on the deck and smoked and was fairly comfortable until near the end and then I kicked on my propane heater.

That's what she said... lol

[jluck]

40+ or I go to the shop and fire up the oil burner.

[tsolomon]

It's not the cold, it's the wind. I can handle the cold weather pretty well, but the wind is what drives me to smoke in the garage. :hm

[lenguamor]

"It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the Gurkha again.":r

[shilala]

I'm the biggest cold wussy in the world. I'll smoke a cigar while I'm shoveling snow if it's not too windy, but you're not going to find me sitting out in the cold smoking a cigar somewhere, period. Not gonna happen. :)

[Sauer Grapes]

30's is too cold. 40's is OK if you are moving around (mid to high 40's at least). 50's is doable.

[W.B.]

Though I enjoy smoking outside, I prefer to only do it with my friends or if it is a beautiful and nearly windless day. Wind is key, I hate how it can ruin the burn of my cigar. Though if it's a nice and breezy, I'll chill outside with fine craft beer. Cheers!

[mmblz]

With the weather getting cold, at what temp do you stop smoking out side. For me it would have to be in the low 60s.

:r
move up here, you'd only smoke 3 months out of the year - during the day only. maybe 3 weeks at night.
what do you do if it's 68 degrees but there's a 5 MPH wind? oh, the horror!
:sl

it was -10 here this morning. that is, unfortunately, too cold...

[Chainsaw13]

I'll fire up the propane heater in the garage when it gets below 40. Otherwise it's bundle up, grab a cup of joe and my camping chair.

[deaster25]

I wasn't expecting this to end at 40 let alone the first three options.

[mmblz]

I wasn't expecting this to end at 40 let alone the first three options.

yeah, i could change the thread title to "what's too hot"
:r

[Bill86]

yeah, i could change the thread title to "what's too hot"
:r

70 :D

I don't smoke much in the summer. I wish the weather was always 60.

[Pat1075]

I smoke anywhere except my bedroom. even when it is too cold or too hot for that matter.

[Digs]

It never is too cold, just to windy!

[SteelCityBoy]

It never is too cold, just to windy!

Not in your garage it ain't! Especially if we pull over a large heater to stand under that just happens to be out on my back deck! :D

[cubanodemiami]

A buddy and I have smoked outside in low 40's cause his girlfriend wont let us smoke indoors. At my place, we smoke inside in any weather and watch TV. But yeah, mid-40's is my lowest. 30's burns.

[Jasonw560]

If you're bundled up enough, it shouldn't be too cold. After my hands got cold from no gloves when it was in the 40's here, I bought a pair. Unfortunately, the weather has been in he 60's since then. If it drops down again, I'll get them out.

[crazyirishman]

Psht. I puff when I ice fish.

[Mattso3000]

yeah, i could change the thread title to "what's too hot"
:r

75. I'd rather smoke outside at 35 than 75.

[BHalbrooks]

It's been 40 to 50 here, so I'm feeling pretty fortunate :noon

[madwilliamflint]

I've got my stripes for smoking in the cold. Last winter when we had that horrendous storm after Christmas I was on the front porch with a buddy and his son in a blizzard, huddled around one of those little steel fire pits.

We smoked lots of pepin and fuente and polished off almost two full bottles of whiskey (Elijah Craig 18 and I think a Talisker 12.)

Our shoulders and backs were encased in snow and ice by the time we were done.

But we were THANKful! (and bloody pissed.)

[Hem]

Anything below 60 and I'm freezing! That thick NJ blood I used to have is long gone. Luckily it rarely gets too cold here :)

[Smokin Gator]

If it is below 60 and I have a fire in the fire pit that is fine. Other than that I am in the man cave!

[goomer]

I have a garage with a space heater so anything below 60 outside and I'm in the garage.

[CigarNut]

It's 41 outside and I am sitting in my garage (doors open -- for air flow) with the heater on and enjoying a cigar :D

[mmblz]

-38 wind chill on the ski lift today.
i think it's safe to say that was officially too cold for a cigar.

[Digs]

Holy Cow! -38 is so cold how could you enjoy anything!!

[darkninja67]

Going to man up and go out for a short smoke in 7F weather today. Hoping the wind died down a bit.

[Ncpsycho]

14 last night stood outside and smoked an acid and drank 4 cold ones in the cold lol

[MarkinAZ]

Lowest has been around 46* on the patio, but usually out there with a sweatshirt and light jacket over that and a cover on my head. A cup of coffee usually completes the attire:tu

[Ismith75]

NHC Reserva outside last night in the single digits. Fire and a couple bloody marys help :tu

[Gotham2112]

Under 45* in Texas just isn't preferred but sometimes you just need to enjoy a good stick...

[andromalius]

I have a smoke room in my house, so if I get cold while wearing a jacket I go inside. However, if I'm going to be doing something outside anyway I might as well light up and enjoy it.

[cjhalbrooks]

I live in KY at fort Campbell (about an hour north from Nashville) my question is is everyone have a "OFF" winter.
