Winter hiatus

[jquirit]

Winter I definitely do slow down on the frequency on times I smoke cigars. Even with a small heater in the garage it's still far too cold to spend an hour or two out there. I'm debating getting a fire pit and trying to smoke on the back patio but I dunno how that'll work out just yet (would need some sort of cover as well). Any cigar smoking would typically be either at a herf or on Sunday if I'm at the Shilo watching football.

Though, it's also this time of year that my frequency of smoking pipe 'baccy picks up since I can start/stop depending on comfort level.

I won't know till this year...but I'm going to assume that I will be smoking less unless I get my butt to a cigar bar.

def slows down in the winter, and Katie won't let me smoke in the house Mostly in the winter it will be in the car, herf's, or on the occasional warm afternoon day. Unfortunately there aren't any cigar bars around the Bloomington area. The winter seems to be the covet and hoard period in preparation for the warmer months lol

Gotta love the ventilation system in my basement. I smoke more in the winter because there is less to do outside.

I just built a 14x16 man shed or as the neighbors call the foo foo shed(they are jealous) that will be my home away from home. You bet your arse I will be huffing and puffing in there, unless my wife tells me I cant!

Ahh good ol B'Town, if you come up for the Purdue game drop me a PM and maybe we can get together.

Remember our discussion? Just smoke inside and ask questions later lol...

In any event, I will be in the garage if I smoke at home. I doubt I will slow down much though cuz I just smoke in the car on the way home (I have a 80 minute commute). That takes care of the weekdays and then on weekends I smoke at the local B&M or herfs locally...

I live in AZ. It's finally getting to a point where it's comfortable to sit outside.

Mine definitely slows down during the cold months. This year I'm finally looking into winterization/heating options for the patio - looked at some electric and small propane heaters at Lowe's the other day.

Go herf with CigarGal in the winter some time. That's put hair on your humidor.

I slow way down. I'll smoke in the car when driving an hour or so for work and in a cigar-friendly car on occasion. I'm thinking about a space heater for the garage but that's really not the most comfortable way to smoke. I use quite a bit more nasal snuff in the winter.

Vegas here, I agree! I do have a gazebo I put up thin canvas tarps around and my heater, if I am outside (Vegas does have a cold side). But since we bought the house and I have a room dedicated to it, I will be there most of the time. My habits have incresed latley, and will remain steady for the most part.

Where I live in Florida, I smoke more in the winter, because it is so much nicer without the 100% humidity, giant Mosquitoes, sudden rain storms, and 90 Degrees at 10pm...

I don't miss that at all. Despite the inherent inconveniences, I like having more than 3 1/2 days of Winter.

I live in NE Florida, so I probably stay about the same year round.

^^^^^ What he said. The back porch is lovely right about now though!!

Since you can only smoke outside here once the rain moves in my cigar consumption takes a hit. I usually smoke my pipe more in the winter since it doesn't stink up a closed garage as much. There's a new Indian casino with a cigar lounge scheduled to open in two weeks and since it's only about a 15 minute drive away I'm hoping against hope that it turns out to be reasonably decent so I can *gasp* actually smoke in a public setting for the first time since moving out here three years ago.

Almost 90 here today. And I smoke inside anyways, so I dont think I will slow down a whole lot.

I live in Minnesota, so outdoor smoking is definitely limited in the cooler weather. I'll occasionally smoke in the garage if it's not too cold, but that's not really very nice. I'll also sometimes smoke while ice fishing, because then I'm dressed for being in the cold. Otherwise I'll visit a B&M sometimes.

definitely more smoking in the doors. more B&M's, bars, etc. all do i do enjoy a cold night with a some hot tea and a cigar once in awhile. i guess we'll see how cold its going to be this season.
