I wanted to know how much cold people tolerate to smoke, and do you buy smaller ring's to smoke shorter times in the winter.
i've had to shorten my smoke's down to 5x50's because it's freeeeeeeezing here in san diego:r:r:r:r:r:r

I am not normally a puss, but I'm in S.FL, its ~60F out, I'm in a T-shirt outside smoking a Upmann Coronas Major and I'm a little chilly :D I know, boo hoo. But that is how cold it is where I am smoking....
I'm heading to my in-laws next week, and the current forecast is 0... yup, zero.
The only place my FIL and I can smoke is outside, or his large (cold) warehouse 15mins from the house. When together we usually average 2-3 smokes a day... this outta be fun :hn

Crazy weather here in Atlanta,,,60 degrees one day 40 the next. I still smoke my cigars and took the dog for a walk today with my nose running like a spigot,,,what a sight to take a walk with two kleen-x stuff up my nose. The things I do to keep my hobby going strong.

F'ing cold!
I sat in the garage last night with a very nice Bordeux and a Lusitania. Both were fantastic but I didn't need the cigar to be blowing smoke. It was sub-freezing so I came to the decision when my fingers and toes were going numb that "I need a space heater". ;)

It's -3 outside right now, but it should warm up to 15-20 later today.
I lined my gazebo in plastic for the winter, and use a fish house heater out there. Probably gets to outside temp + 15 or so in there.

It has been in the 70's in LA during the day and mid/upper 50's at night, but according to the weather forecasts we're expecting an 'Arctic blast' that will keep the highs in the upper 50's and lows in the 40's. The tv stations have been making a big deal about it...oh, no, weather...kind of comical. :r

It's been a tad chilly this winter so far. Actually I think MN gets a little colder than we do due to the lake effect. I've been looking at a lot of the cold weather tactics used here to see if I might employ one of them. So far I'm just standing outside with a shorter than normal stick.

I call it quites when the temps hit -58F (-50C)
I finished my meeting last night went home and smoked a Birthday cigar it was a great night for me. A nice -36F (-38C) with no wind.... lovely.
Throw in the fact that we have no sun it only gets worse.
As for smaller cigars, damn straight I do. I smoke only short cigars while I am up here.

Have not had snow and cold like this since 1990. It can rain every day, and it sometimes does, but this white stuff stinks.
Here is Xmas Eve at our house:

Its in the low 30's at home now...pretty cold for smoking in the garage with a small space heater. But...now I'm in Atlanta visiting the in-laws and looking forward to 70+ degrees tomorrow! Brought both cigas and pipes to finally enjoy in the heat. I'm psyched. :ss:pi

Hit 50 today in MI. Everything is melting & visibility is less then 1/4 mile due to the fog. I knocked down a few snow piles while working on a Taboo SFBC.

It was 61 degrees in west-central PA today.
I'm pretty sure the world is coming to an end.

I haven't had a cigar in a couple weeks due to the cold. -3*F right now, but it's the middle of the night. Supposed to be 32*F tomorrow, so I may then.
