Sometimes I wish I could just light up in the house, but can't. I don't really have time to go to the smoke shop and sit around for 2 hours. is there any remedy? or does it fix itself as soon as the weather comes back around?

Your in the Heart of Dixie and it's too "cold"????? Join me on my deck in VA....

It's all about priorities, what do you want to do the most. In the summer time you drive by my house on any given day, the grass will be ankle high. Riding is my priority and I'll be out riding - not mowing. You have to decide what's important to you. As I get older and life gets shorter for me it's not the chores, work, or life's other BS. I'll be with my friends, family, smoking with my dog outside, etc. When I'm gone the leakey faucet will still leak, the job will go to someone else, and my weeds will still be growing.

Some times we need a little break in life, that sitting down in a cigar shop may be exactly what you need to decompress. I find I can't do much that is troublesome, busy, or complicated when smoking a cigar. I read and listen to some music, mayby chat on CA with the laptop. When I get done i am always in a better mood and a better person to be with, same when i get off the scoot. One 2 hour time out a week really isn't a lot, more might even be healthier.

Just depends on how you want to spend your time...... And time is a non replaceable commodity. It is the most important thing in my life.

Unfortuantly it took the loss of 2 extremely close friends to get me to realize that "making" time was the wrong approach. The important things get the time now and every thing else I make time for if any is left over.

I'll pass sir, unless you have fuego, but you ought to have seen me before I got acclimated to Fort Riley...

I think I need to reserve an hour on fridays to smoke. just do it!

I find a cigar and drink by the fireplace in the evening makes me a happy boy. The heat from the fire draws a large portion of the smoke up the chimney. With the kids off at college, its just me and the missus, and we enjoy that time together reflecting on our day.

I wish I could smoke in the apartment. Being a good roommate though is also important so I refrain from lighting up inside.

Man, we're setting all time records for cold up here. The high has been -27 C (-16 F). Last night it hit -37 C (-35 F). I don't smoke inside, and smoking has been banned in all public places up here.
Talk about dwindling.....

I put one of these out in the garage and I gotta tell you, it really helps.

Last winter I was so miserable shivering in the garage. I started stocking up on shorter smokes this year, but then I saw that gadget on sale. Now I smoke whatever stick I want in relative comfort, and catch up on reading at the same time.

Is there a super sized version for us Canucks?

Haha...Well, you attach it to whatever tank you want. That one is attached to a girly little thing for some reason. I have mine hooked up one of the really large ones that you'd hook your grill up to. It gets plenty hot--I can touch up an uneven stick just by holding it an inch away and rotating.

Actually I meant the top part, but now you've got me thinking......
It sounds like it throws of enough heat. But can it be used inside, like a 3 season sunroom, or a garage?

You could send your sticks down to Miami for the winter and i'll keep them company.

Jeeeezus!!!!!!!

You need to MOVE!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr B]

If I was not able to have a lunch time smoke I would'nt have many at all either. Luckily it stays warm enough here that a thick coat will do or if raining, into the truck with the vent on.
Because of the lunchtime thing I usually go with smaller smokes, Coronas robustos etc. I hate to throw out 1/2 a smoke. I save the big guys for when I have the proper time.

I say that to myself every winter.

I have found that I smoke very little in the winter. Today it's +8*F and that is just too cold to stand around outside for a smoke. The local B&M closes by the time I get out of work so that's not an option.

My most favorite time to smoke is around the campfire on a warm summer evening. It doesn't get any better than that for me.
