Remember our discussion? Just smoke inside and ask questions later lol...

In any event, I will be in the garage if I smoke at home. I doubt I will slow down much though cuz I just smoke in the car on the way home (I have a 80 minute commute). That takes care of the weekdays and then on weekends I smoke at the local B&M or herfs locally...

I love smoking in the winter. Nobody is in their yard/ on their balcony being loud. Perfect time of the year for me to enjoy my cigars...

I just built a 14x16 man shed or as the neighbors call the foo foo shed(they are jealous) that will be my home away from home. You bet your arse I will be huffing and puffing in there, unless my wife tells me I cant!

Ahh good ol B'Town, if you come up for the Purdue game drop me a PM and maybe we can get together.

I started smoking in my basement last winter, the smell doesn't seem to last and there is very little down there to absorb the odor. Thus, my smoking will only slow down slightly.

I bought a decent sized ceramic heater for my 3 season porch, but I've had a nasty throat issue in the past few days (hoping it's not strep), so I haven't had a chance to try it out.

Mine stops to almost nothing. Low 60's is when I start to slow down.

Since you can only smoke outside here once the rain moves in my cigar consumption takes a hit. I usually smoke my pipe more in the winter since it doesn't stink up a closed garage as much. There's a new Indian casino with a cigar lounge scheduled to open in two weeks and since it's only about a 15 minute drive away I'm hoping against hope that it turns out to be reasonably decent so I can *gasp* actually smoke in a public setting for the first time since moving out here three years ago.

I will be lucky to get in more more cigar. I usually cant get in a smoke from Dec until late March if I am lucky. No B/Ms around me and my parents flip **** if I even mention smoking in the basement room.

I smoke the same year round. Easy here in CA. Plus I have a sun room which helps when it gets rainy. I used to smoke more in the winter as I didn't like smoking in the heat. Now I just get the joneses for it all the time.

I hibernate during the winter months, unless there is a herf. I restart during the warm spring months.

I slow down to about a cigar a week once the cold/snow hits. Though I do tend to stock up on some nice cigars for the spring time!

I'm the same as most, it slows to a crawl when I have to put more than a sweatshirt and pants on. After that I only get to smoke in bars when the bar allows cigars as well as cigarettes. Sucks for sure, but I like the idea of a 14x16 man shed.

I posted this very same thread last year over in CS. It's a good one.

Winter for me (in terms of smoking) is a sad period. I tend to smoke a lot less because I don't have the facilities to smoke as I don't smoke in my house and I live in a condo. There are no "decent" B&M's around me that I'd warrant stopping in frequently to sit down, relax, and have a smoke while chit-chatting and watching sports. When I do smoke it's typically a smaller stick like the Short Story or the Rp Vintage Short Story look-a-like (don't know what it's called). I will also throw in a Robusto every now and then if the cold is manageable. The only time I will smoke like a champ is when friends of mine and I get together for a weekend night where we all stay over, eat a ton of food, drink a lot of beer and tequila shots, and we all brave the cold on a porch (my one buddy has one of those restaurant heaters which is nice).

Other than that, I really slow down. I move my humi in my closet and keep it as humidified as possible,


I need to move to a warm climate!!

Go Phils!!
