Smoking in the wintertime
 

I'm getting depressed right now because I've collected a humidor and coolidor full of delicious sticks, but the weather has turned too cold to enjoy any of them outside! For those in northern states, what do y'all do to keep on smoking through the cold months? :sad

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I'm lucky enough to have a B&M that has an amazing smoking lounge pretty close to my house. I don't get to smoke as much as I would like, but when I do, I get to hang out with a bunch of guys who enjoy cigars as much as I do. Also, if you have a garage you can get a space heater and smoke in there.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I do not live in the norther states but I am a total wuss when it comes to the cold. I would smoke in the garage right next to a space heater and cover myself with a throw blanket. Oh and you are probably going to need a drink to further your relaxation and to add some more warmth.

Earl's got it all figured out...:tu

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I wouldn't say "All" but there are a few things I get right from time to time...LOL

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

:rYou just posted exactly what I do in the winter...

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Local shops/lounges...or put a space heater in the garage for about an hour then head out or check this thread out... http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=51704

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Find a B&M, Baileys/Fox & Hound, or grab a heater for the garage/shed. :2

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Yes, I am fortunate to have a nice B&M with a lounge nearby, but that really restricts when I can have a smoke. I shouldn't complain, I guess. At least, I have access to one!

I'll have to find a good space heater for the garage. Do you put a fan in the window to suck out the smoke, too?

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I put a coat on. A hat and gloves are also necessary sometimes. I also have decided that my car is a perfectly reasonable place to smoke a stick. It doesn't need to be moving, but it has a radio, which is good.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Wuss.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Oh...some MN boys chiming in! Certainly colder than here in Ohio! :D

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

He's my bro...I'll be smoking outside with him soon.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Booze. :tu

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

When I was in Ct the B&M or car. Here in Va I have a heater and a good sized Rubbermaid shed 10'-10', I think it was around 400$ but it's dual purpose and holds heat very well.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

It was miserably cold here in Louisiana recently...man I think it got down below 70 last night, fo sho I had to get dem johns long things out ma boat and wrap up like a crawfish all a'snug up in his lil' hole!


In a more realistic answer, an LP heater or three makes for a nice warm patio. A car, as mentioned, works wonders with the windows cracked and the heater on full blast and a tablet with Netflix. Personally, I'm lucky enough to have a local B&M with a 24hr club that I can go sit in to avoid the weather.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

In a t-shirt and shorts... Bro's got the balls to call me a wuss. It's on now.:suLook what I just got!

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I throw on a coat and nut up and head out, although I usually smoke at work when it's this cold as I am already budled up for work :tu

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Well, it's gonna be my local B&M mostly this year.........Plans are under way for a 5000BTU heater for the garage..uh work shop..uh..smoking room.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Same here. If it goes too many days of frigid temps, I just head down to the local lounge and torch up.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Where are you in Ohio?

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I love smoking in the winter. If it ever does get cold up here in New England to freeze the lake, one of my favorite things to do is to: take my dog for a walk, light a stick up and head out onto the lake and walk around on the ice. Talk to some of the ice fishermen (I don't fish in the winter but it's always nice to talk to them).
I also have space in my garage with a little space heater. I usually put a little fan behind the heater to spread the heat but also to help with pushing the smoke out the door. I put the door up a couple inches to help with air flow. I have a small TV out there with an original NES system to play Blades Of Steel and All Star Wrestling!!!!!

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

When it is cold out (32F and under) I will choose a short smoke (Party Short, PG Firecracker, etc) put on my jacket, hat and boots and head outside to smoke it. I like the cold so as long as I avoid sitting I am usually good to go.


Have a pic somewhere of myself smoking on the porch in a blizzard.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I wish I had a B&M!!! I smoke in the garage. In the AM, i turn the heater one, it is good to go in about 30 minutes. On the weekends I will leave it on all day, as long as I am home, so when I feel I want another smoke, good to go.

I am in Southern Oregon, Gets a bit cold here. I was smoking outside and not enjoying them as much last year. It for sure get cloudy in here!

I have a spare room, pretty small room, Might as well be a big closet, That I am workin on turning into a smoking room too.. Keeps warm and able to remove the smoke with a fan.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I'm in Columbus Nick.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

My basement is 68* F. :)

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I love smoking outdoors and my mother-in-law knows how much the wife and I like to entertain so she bought my wife and I this awesome outdoor propane heater...

It really does the trick for smoking outdoors on my deck when it is cold! What a great mother-in-law she is!

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I usually just put on a jacket. It takes alot for me to be cold. I am however thinking of picking up one these heaters as my wife is cold if it gets below 72 degrees :r

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

The heater really does the job for when it gets below 40 degrees. I love smoking at night but without some form of heat while outdoors in the winter I just don't enjoy it as much. I don't mind it in the 40's or above but for me to really enjoy a stick I don't like when it gets in the 30's. This heater so far has certainly helped me!!! :tu

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I'll take a nice country drive and have one.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Very cool of your MIL :tu Those things are nice and work great.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Seriously though these heaters are amazing...I just was outside the other night with Ken and was sweating my **** off just being around it!!!

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

That's a nice setup. Does it run on propane? Doesn't look like your typical propane tank would fit in the base.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

To anyone interested:

On sale now. Uses standard 20 lb. tank. I gotta say, very tempting as the price includes shipping until the 18th.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I put on a hat and a parka, grab a radio and head out to the front porch. Of course we are tougher in Massachusetts than in Ohio.:D

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I wear 2 pairs of sweat pants, 3 sweaters, 1 winter jacket, boots, gloves and sit inside my garage with no heater. It is tolerable up to the point where the cigar will only take one hour to smoke. This is at the peak of the cold season.

More time than that and you will freeze your balls off! :gary

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Yep! :tu Your normal propane tank just fits right in the bottom and has a hook up just like a propane grill does....

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

So...it's looking like I need to get a small space heater for the garage and maybe a fan to suck out the smoke. That might breath some new life into my cigar enjoying!

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Now that is funny :r

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I was wrong its 5000 watts and 17000 BTU. Found a little exhaust fan for 20$

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I know how you feel with not being able to smoke. It's not cold here but I woke up this morning with a sore throut and nothing has any taste. I had a 2 or 3 cigar day planned but now it looks like it will be thursday before I get to enjoy another cigar.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

Reading this thread got me in the mood. Went out after the Pats game and lit up the heater and lit me up a stick. Sat there and cut up some cardboard for recylcing to pass the time and clean the garage up a little. Haven't had a cigar in a while.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I wish the B & M near me was more of a cigar shop, less of a head shop. Nowhere to sit and chill. I can make my way into the city to a cigar bar, but it's such a long trek, gets annoying. Plus I'd need a crowd, not that many of my friends do the cigar thing, at least not consistently enough to go somewhere just to smoke. And the Rochester crowd that gets together meets on Sunday night which doesn't work for me.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

My garage is always good.. Webster though

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I feel your pain.

I transformed my detached garage into my own smoking lounge. it's got a wood burner, a bar, poker table and a tv. it's a pimp man cave 4 years in the making. Your welcome to stop by for a smoke anytime.

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

I'll ride out every couple weeks if I have an invite. I would like to start getting back together with the CA guys in Rochester...

Re: Smoking in the wintertime
 

The two places I smoke in the winter are
1- out side around the fire pit.
2- in side laying in bed watching tv.

I got no.problems with winter...

I hear those Florida winters can be brutal!
