Smoking in the Snow

I really wanna smoke, but it's snowing out. Not heavy, but a moderate fall.

Good/Bad Idea?

Years in Alaska taught me one thing: They only thing cold does to stop you from smoking is based on your own tolerance. Get a coat on and go smoke em!

with some gloves and thermal underwear, sure! I'd say do it, if you can find a place where the snow isn't actually falling on your cigar. just don't be surprised by split wrappers. Cigars tend to explode when it gets this cold.

It's supposed to get down in the 40's here tonight but I'll be damned if I can't smoke at least one cigar on my Saturday night.

It actually turned out pretty well. The only problem I had was my hand freezing, but other than that there were no major burn problems or the wrapper splitting.

40's! I wish it was that warm here. Dipping below 20 at sundown.

How was the wet bench?

Next time, just take the half hour drive to Azon....

I smoked a lot last winter. Just beware of wrappers cracking.

Right on! I was on the porch yesterday during the storm. No wind, about 28 degress out, quiet and peaceful. Yes my wrapper did crack, but the cigar (Tatuaje Noellas Reserva) kept a nice burn line , and the crack did not get worse, and I smoked right thru it. My only problem was my smoking hand was cold, and so was my nose...

Smoking in the snow is not fun for me, so I don't do it often, unless I am just really wanting a smoke...

I think I might try the fire pit thing this winter . Wonder if there is any laws against it in my town . Guess I'll have to check it out first , or maybe not .

Just make sure that you keep the smoke and light emissions down and you shouldn't have any problems with the empire.

Smoking in the snow will provide for some beautiful scenery while smoking.

never had a problem.

Unless you count trying to smoke while attempting "Nosedive" at Winterplace....(a black diamond).....that didn't end up too well for the cigar...or me...

I standa round some coals in the grill.

That's what I do too brother. If I could just find a way to spin around (like on a vertical rotisserie) without getting dizzy, I'd be golden .

Golden- Brown, actually... and slightly crispy!

I guess im a wimp/snob when it comes to smoking in the cold. For me, if I'm too cold, i cant enjoy a cigar. I'd rather sit in a b&M than huddle outside.

Of course, one of my top 3 smokes I ever had was sitting in my garage in -2 F weather with a LGC MdO #2...

I tried smoking the other night here. About 40* and that was too cold for me. I had to toss it after about 10 minutes. What a shame. I guess it's a lot about tolerance.

No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.
