winter smoking? yep stupid question, carry on

Devanmc · 12-13-2010, 07:14 PM

this will be my first winter smoking cigars, wow nood moment, anyways living in an army barracks means im forced to smoke outside and its...well...20 before the windchill. call me a sissy but its to cold for me to sit down and smoke for 2hours outside. I can sometimes get out to the shop 2times a week average. what am i to do? this not smoking is killing my stress levels.

Any advice guys?

I just don't.

Find some smaller sticks Devan.

chippewastud79 · 12-13-2010, 07:26 PM

Ice fishing gloves. Space heater.

Bill86 · 12-13-2010, 07:27 PM

Yeah I agree, it's 18 degrees out. I'm not smoking, as far as stress levels well that's why there's alcohol

I see your predicament, cigarettes would be my next go to. Although if you don't already smoke them I wouldn't start. Assuming you don't......ummmm I think you're SoL.

There's probably quite a few 30 minute smokes, fuente short story comes to mind. Also you could just buy a box of budget smokes and smoke as much of them as you can before tossing the rest out and not worrying about it.

Padron Corticos are excellent. So far as little tiny cigars go, I can't think of any better.
On the cc side, and I'll likely get skewered for saying this, but Cohiba cigarettes are really damned good. I don't inhale them at all, I retrohale them. If you smoke two back to back, they'll throw a nicotine buzz on you, and I think they're delicious.
So far as smoking in the cold goes, I love smoking a cigar while I'm shoveling snow. I'm not at all a fan of just going out and sitting in the weather, I'm too pussified. If there's no wind, I'll fire up the heaters in the shed and smoke while I'm working out there. Occasionally I'll sit on the porch at night and have a smoke if it's still. For the most part, my smoking pretty much ceases till it warms up outside.

Toughen up and take it like a man. Just joking. Go with smaller sticks like Mac said and bundle up. The cold has never stopped me. Slowed me down yes, but not stopped me.

utilize the cold weather gear the Army issued you......the new CWI work well, field tested by the BCC in the mountains of Afghan

This time of the year its below 0F mostly everyday where I live. I have yet to work up the nerve to go outside for a cigar. Maybe when it gets to about 10-20F on a random day i'll have one lol.

Smoke in your car

688sonarmen · 12-13-2010, 07:45 PM

My car is one of the best places I have to smoke, next to a warm shed

OK... first of all, I know you can get on my arse 'cause I have the Gator Cave to smoke in. However, for a Florida boy it gets cold out here for me. Right now it is 53 in here. I keep the door open outside some, but either way I have an electric space heater facing me that keeps things pretty toasty. It works for me whether I have a short smoke or a longer one.

Ranger_B · 12-13-2010, 09:38 PM

A good winter coat, an awesome hat and then: petit corona, machine made smaller sticks, go for a good ride in your car, and then the shop.

12-13-2010, 09:53 PM

Cohiba Clubs are my favourite choice. Then I would get a heater, Canada Goose jacket and 4 fingers worth of scotch.

I've wondered about those Cohiba clubs. Didn't want to buy 100 to try them out though.

CoreyD · 12-13-2010, 09:56 PM

Fuente Cubanito's and Davidoff Mini's the godsends of the frozen hell that is a Minnesota winter. But I'm a wuss nowadays and smoke on my couch.
