Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

It is just too damn miserable to smoke! I know I tease a lot in the winters about how its 70 here and I am smoking. I apologize! It is just too damn hot to smoke here. It is now past midnight and its still over 90. Yuck!

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

At least in the winter you can get a kerosene or propane heater and heat your garage...cooling a garage out here would cost a small fortune.

At least your heat is dry. Sitting on the Chesapeake Bay it's 94 with about 90% humididty sometimes. We all need to just move to Hawaii!

Tell me about it...I lived there for 13 years...so now I'm in Florida...yesterday's temp was 93F...with humidity it made it feel like 103F and thats what registered on outside thermometers...how the hell do ya go out to smoke a cigar or pipe in that kinda heat?

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

It's been hot as hell here in NC this past week. Even at night it's been sticky. Sat outside with a Cain F last night and went back inside afterward and my shirt was actually damp. I hear you on the heat though as I have been craving a cigar all week but the heat during the day is just intolerable to sit outside and smoke. Finally broke down last night and waited for the sun to set.

I hope to trade positions sometime in the next few years. Come endure 40+ Chicago and Detroit winters and you will know what I mean. ;)

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

I feel ya. TX summers are the same way. Walk outside and just moments later you are coated in sweat.

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

I am playing the world's smallest violin. It is payback for the nice winters you all have ;) :r

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

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

Pretty hot here in Florida lately too.:tu

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

I always tell the GF...In the winter you can bundle up and eventually get warm but in the heat you'd strip down and still be sweating unless you find AC.

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

Living in south tx i know how you feel,i think yesterday we hit around 102deg.

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

Forget that...I wouldn't leave my house.

I usually smoke at night during the summer. It's nice and cool but the bugs can be a pain. I'm using a fan for now, but the Mosquito Magnet is coming on board soon. :tu

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

The DFW area of Texas is the worst...because we have crazy hot, humid summers, and bitter cold, windy winters. There are about 3-4 months total that you can sit outside and really enjoy the weather :p

My parents are moving to Hawaii in August. I'm seriously considering following them out there, haha. Temps around the 80's year round with a nice sea breeze blowing constantly? Yesplz.

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

Just bought a bug zapper myself a couple weeks ago. That zzzzzzzzztttt sounds always brings a smile to my face.:D

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

A dry heat? My oven has a dry heat and I am not sticking my head in there......

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

Please post pics of the bug zapper .... j/k

I agree with kgoings I usually like to enjoy a smoke on the golf course but its even too hot to hit the white ball this time of year.

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

I hear ya bro. I have been getting up about 5AM so I can get in a smoke before the heat. At least I have shade most of the day on the patio, not so bad if I stay out of the sun directly and just sit and smoke. Another nice thing, no bugs. I am from WI and I'll take this anytime.

Would one of those suits they wear on the moon work? LOL.

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

5am? That's dedication right there!:r:banger

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

Agreed the shade does make a huge difference and if you have a pool even better :r

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

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

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

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

Rub it in, why don't you! I love the PacNW... left there about 13 years ago... not sure why.

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

Any of you Az guys going to the Scottsdale Cigar King Carrillo event tomorrow?

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

I might be able to

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

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

Ugh.

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

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!!!

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

I might hit that.
There is also one at Tinder Box - PHX, a Tatuaje Tasting 3PM to 7PM

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

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.

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

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

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

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

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

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!

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

Ahhhhhh here in Round Valley at 7100 feet we have 85-90 degree days
and 55-65 degree night :D
Course' in the winter we measure our snow in feet not inches ...

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

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.

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

just a few annoying flies...gone now

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

They have hurt me for years. ;)

No brainer to me :2

Re: Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable
 

Bitter cold winters are @ -30 or colder for a month or more, we don't want to go outside either.:D
