I severed my three years in PHX, hated it, I couldn't run fast enough to move back up to the good old pacific northwest. :D

You knew this was coming:
Shame about the heat. It's a nice comfortable 63 as I enjoy a smoke on the porch. ;)

Don't worry about It to much. Just walled outside it's raining an 49 deg. In the mid of June

I am lucky as I can grab a smoke or two during the day in the truck as I go from job to job. At night I am so glad I created the Gator Cave. I have an extra AC unit in there and it keeps it a nice 74 degrees for my evening stick. If I had to smoke outside in 90+ degree heat and 90+ RH I would not be happy!!!

I live in Vegas and I picked up a sub $200 swamp cooler that I use in my garage when it is way too hot to smoke outside. And outside I picked up a cooling mist system that will actually lower the temp by 20 degrees or so.

I'd gladly take the northeast winter over a desert summer.

And THIS is precisely why I keep tempting you flatlander Phoenicians to party mile-high style in Prescott. -(P

I would love to not have to put on 20 layers of clothing to smoke a cigar in the winter :tu

You certainly aren't putting on 20 layers. :r

I have lived in Arizona for 27 years and never get tired of the heat. I froze my butt off for 23 years in upstate NY. Never going to live in the snow again! As for being too hot to smoke, I installed fans on my patio, installed a drop-down sun shade, and bring out a large pitcher of iced tea. Being in the shade does help quite a bit. Wife installed a fly-trap thing the other day, it smelled like a pile of dead fish! Worked well, but could not stand the smell....its gone now! LOL!

Dead fish? LOL. I guess to attract the bugs. Is it not a little hot for bug now? I do not have any here by S.Mtn now. Well, scorpions but they only hurt for a little while.

I need a smoking room! I am not going to pay a local B&M for smoking rights in their club.

No brainer to me :2
