I smoke all the time in my Jeep Wrangler. She's my work vehicle anyways and isn't a show truck. Smells like an old whore but I love it. It's a lot easier when the top is off.

I smoke in my 94 4runner when it is running. My son is changing the heads on it as I type.

I smoke in my jeep all the time. Short trips or long trips, either way it doesn't matter. I always have the drivers side window cracked and passenger open too. Not my amenities so i don't worry about putting vents or anything else on. The windows do just fine.

I smoke in my jeep all the time as well. The only time I don't is when I'm going to work, but always on the way home from work. Only the window down to vent a little and an ashtray on the center console. I like that my ride is stinky, it dissuades others from borrowing it.

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

One thing I forgot to say about smoking in the car: never leave stogies or ashes in the car... Get rid of them as soon as possible!

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

I have smoked a few times in my car.....lot of maintenance on the stick for my preference (watching the ash, making sure it stays lit) Kind of of a hassle, but I am not opposed to trying again :D

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

I smoke in my car every morning...if the smell gets too bad I spray some Gonesmoke in there and it gets rid of it quite well.

Keeping a small cup full of crushed coffee beans in the car also seems to help keep the smoke smell down.

I smoke in my car and I just keep the windows open and spray from time to time and it seems to work pretty well, but I don't mind the day old smell to much

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

I have just started smoking in my truck on my recent trip back from NC. Not sure how I feel about it as of yet. It seemed to be just a bit distracting....I will try it again on some long trips in the near future.

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

Unfortunately I only have the one car and it transports kids all over for soccer games. I smoked once on a long trip and will not do it again; even with all the products I used it took almost a month to get the smell out. The kids kept complaining about the smell.

Should have made them get out and walk. :r

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

Never ever smoke in my car, but I also try to avoid eating in there too. She's too purdy to deserve that.

However, I did see an old lady next to me at the stoplight last night smoking a cigarette with her windows up and dog in the backseat. :td

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

My ol' man would've told me to get out and get a job so I could buy my own damn car.

:D

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

My truck is so purdy she DOES deserve that. ;)

In my car's owner's manual, the ashtray is called a "Cigar Ashtray" and is really flat like one would want for cigars. I haven't had a chance to smoke in it yet, but plan on smoking in it like every other car I have owned. In the end, if it's not all the time; they car does not smell of cigars.

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

I do not smoke in my car. Unlike most of you, I drive a stick shift car and I don't have a hand free to hold the cigar all the time and I hate keeping a cigar between my lips. Secondly I want to give a cigar the attention it deserves and I can't do that while driving on the busy Dutch roads, I would not enjoy the cigar at all so I don't smoke.

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

All good tips.

I have an '89 300ZX which I've owned since '96; I've probably smoked close to a thousand cigars in it, and you couldn't tell that I smoked at all if you sat in it right now.

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

I think the most important key is to crack the windows; passenger's side works best, but if you have back windows crack them too.

Do that and the smoke doesn't stay in the car long enough to permeate anything. I ash out the window and toss the nub wherever I stop. Since it's all-leaf, unlike a cigarette which has that paper on it that would survive a nuclear winter, I usually just disintegrate it over foliage and let it go back to nature.

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

I smoke all the time in the car, especially on the interstate when the wife is driving. Open the sunroof and the smoke goes right up and out.

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

I need the dash vents here, with summer coming up. Other than that, all good tips.

I left ashes in my Jeep, last time I did it. About a week with bakng soda in an old coke zero can, and it was all good.

Just got my Xikar portable ash can. That should help with the ash problem.

Re: Smoking in Car Thread
 

Drove a moving truck up the East Coast once, and smoked like hell in it for two days straight! My car is a stick though, and I'm not the best multi-tasker!
