Phoenix Summers are like North East Winters...Miserable

[Lear31MX]

I severed my three years in PHX, hated it, I couldn't run fast enough to move back up to the good old pacific northwest.

You knew this was coming:
Shame about the heat. It's a nice comfortable 63 as I enjoy a smoke on the porch.

Rub it in, why don't you! I love the PacNW... left there about 13 years ago... not sure why.

Don't worry about It to much. Just walled outside it's raining an 49 deg. In the mid of June

Ugh.

I am lucky as I can grab a smoke or two during the day in the truck as I go from job to job. At night I am so glad I created the Gator Cave. I have an extra AC unit in there and it keeps it a nice 74 degrees for my evening stick. If I had to smoke outside in 90+ degree heat and 90+ RH I would not be happy!!!

I live in Vegas and I picked up a sub $200 swamp cooler that I use in my garage when it is way too hot to smoke outside. And outside I picked up a cooling mist system that will actually lower the temp by 20 degrees or so.

I'd gladly take the northeast winter over a desert summer.

And THIS is precisely why I keep tempting you flatlander Phoenicians to party mile-high style in Prescott.

I would love to not have to put on 20 layers of clothing to smoke a cigar in the winter

You certainly aren't putting on 20 layers.

I have lived in Arizona for 27 years and never get tired of the heat. I froze my butt off for 23 years in upstate NY. Never going to live in the snow again! As for being too hot to smoke, I installed fans on my patio, installed a drop-down sun shade, and bring out a large pitcher of iced tea. Being in the shade does help quite a bit. Wife installed a fly-trap thing the other day, it smelled like a pile of dead fish! Worked well, but could not stand the smell....its gone now! LOL!

Ahhhhhh here in Round Valley at 7100 feet we have 85-90 degree days
and 55-65 degree night
Course' in the winter we measure our snow in feet not inches ...

Dead fish? LOL. I guess to attract the bugs. Is it not a little hot for bug now? I do not have any here by S.Mtn now. Well, scorpions but they only hurt for a little while.

just a few annoying flies...gone now

I need a smoking room! I am not going to pay a local B&M for smoking rights in their club.

No brainer to me
