The "I'm tough" winter smoking thread

markem · 11-25-2018, 12:05 PM

We have it easy out here near Portland, OR. We really do not get the snow and cold temps of much of the rest of the country. So we don't get no bragging rights for smoking outdoors when it is "cold". But what the heck.

and you? Pics a plus.

I love smoking in the “winter”. And Mark fibs — Portland does get (too much) snow, it’s too cold and too wet!

I moved to Florida to get away from that sh!t!

I've been outside at night in the 30's recently and was quite comfortable. That comfort came from a large fire though lol.

The Poet · 11-25-2018, 01:48 PM

Outside? I've heard of that. Where can I find some?

I got nowhere else to smoke other then outside and I’ll tell you straight up I played hockey for 14 years and won 2 state championships but I still hate the cold

gomeitsmybday · 11-25-2018, 08:48 PM

Technically not outside but forced to smoke in the garage when it’s really cold...actually not so bad today where I am but always more comfortable in here with my trusty space heater, whom I affectionately refer to as HAL.

I always tell people that compare cigarette smokers to cigar smokers that you won't find cigar smokers huddled in a corner on a freezing day to get their fix. If it's much below 60 I don't smoke. This being my parents' house, I can't/don't smoke inside. I had a smoking room in Ohio with a fan in the window and SWMBO indicated she was unable to smell smoke at all! I have gone close to six months without lighting up during the winter months in Virginia.

The camaro show · 11-25-2018, 09:47 PM

our smoke alarms go off over anything in the dorms so I don't think that'd work lol

Weelok · 11-26-2018, 01:12 AM

48 degrees outside. Glad it’s that warm

Gets rougher in Sacramento when it’s 34 and foggy. Pretty nice right now.

4WheelVFR · 11-26-2018, 11:11 AM

Gonna be in the 30's all week, so I'll have to build my fires just right. When it gets that cold, I may need a hood up or a sock hat, but with a good fire going it's not bad at all. I enjoy it because it makes me feel like I'm camping.....almost lol.

Brian D. · 11-26-2018, 11:47 AM

I live about seven miles from northern Kentucky, which still has some indoor places that are cigar friendly, or at least tolerant.

Got travel plans to the Cleveland area in a couple weeks though. Up there it's colder to begin with, and indoors smoking is limited to (some of the) tobacco stores. Last year I found one nice one near the hotel, and two others that were just old, small houses, rezoned for business. Not really well ventilated, to be kind.

Doing some homework now to come up with more options, because it's highly unlikely northern Ohio will have a December warm up.

Ashcan Bill · 11-26-2018, 12:09 PM

Usually have a weekly cigar night with a buddy. We're a little more temperate here in Sin City than some places but it still gets chilly around January in the evenings. That's when my fire pit get stoked up.

Porch Dweller · 11-26-2018, 04:00 PM

40 is about my threshold.

AdamJoshua · 11-26-2018, 07:54 PM

Well at 8pm it was 80 out and had some BBF until the mosquitoes found me. Suppose to get a cold snap here the next three days, highs in the 50s and 60s and maybe one night below 30... can't wait, die you little bastards!

jdakine · 11-26-2018, 09:40 PM

Was in Atlanta smoking on my brother in-laws deck 37*. Give credit to those who live in the north, that sh*t is cold. Now i'm back to normal Maui weather.

The camaro show · 11-26-2018, 09:59 PM

Beach and cigars sound good rn

4WheelVFR · 11-28-2018, 08:14 PM

32 outside with an Illusion Holy Lance. One benefit of being this cold is that my beverage never gets warm lol.
