Winter hiatus - Page 2

AriesOpusX · 10-22-2008, 02:46 PM

I smoke in my living room while reading CA on the laptop so year round is fine with me baby.

taltos · 10-22-2008, 02:55 PM

Snowmobile suits and smaller cigars work for me.

icehog3 · 10-22-2008, 03:06 PM

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.

gpugliese · 10-22-2008, 03:11 PM

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.

Bax · 10-22-2008, 04:22 PM

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

gettysburgfreak · 10-22-2008, 04:39 PM

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.

Ratters · 10-22-2008, 04:44 PM

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.

That sun room is Herf Central for the BABOTL during the winter!!!

Nimbus · 10-22-2008, 04:52 PM

I hibernate during the winter months,

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

WyGuy · 10-22-2008, 04:56 PM

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!

duckmanco · 10-22-2008, 05:07 PM

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.

10-22-2008, 05:11 PM

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!!

10-22-2008, 05:23 PM

this will actually be my first cigar winter. been into pipes for a while before now, so i usually smoke those fine in the winter. easy to start and stop. winter will be harder now though with cigars and living in NH. Damn cold and i can only smoke pipes inside.

zemekone · 10-23-2008, 09:44 PM

smoke more DCs and Churchills in the winter... yeah it sucks to live in So*Cal

10-23-2008, 09:57 PM

you can have the warm weather in cali i moved out of there three years ago i smoke my cigars and pipes in doors so the cold weather dont bug me

Genetic Defect · 10-22-2008, 05:19 PM

in the winter I buy more smoke less.

10-22-2008, 05:23 PM

I slow down in the winter, but that is when I do most of my buying for next cigar smoking season. ( I can't wait to move to FL)

Ashcan Bill · 10-22-2008, 05:42 PM

I don't slow down but I go to my winter rotation of shorter smokes.

Instead of spending 1 1/2 hours or more on Robustos, Churchills, Lonsdales and whatnot, I move to PC's, Panetelas, Demi Tasse, and so on.

I kinda look forward to the change of pace.

Seanohue · 10-22-2008, 06:11 PM

I haven't smoked a cigar in about 3 weeks. I really don't like the cold. My smoking goes down to 1-2 a month in the winter, from 3-4 a week in the summer.

St. Lou Stu · 10-22-2008, 06:25 PM

Unfortunately it has already started.... the slowdown that is.

Right now it is somewhat bearable as it is only in the 40's at night when I usually relax on the back deck with one.

November will take it down to one or two a week, and the bitter cold of December, January, and February will take it down to just a few a month.
Smoking in zero and below zero temps SUX!!!
