Vegas here, I agree! I do have a gazebo I put up thin canvas tarps around and my heater, if I am outside (Vegas does have a cold side). But since we bought the house and I have a room dedicated to it, I will be there most of the time. My habits have incresed latley, and will remain steady for the most part.

Where I live in Florida, I smoke more in the winter, because it is so much nicer without the 100% humidity, giant Mosquitoes, sudden rain storms, and 90 Degrees at 10pm...

I don't miss that at all. Despite the inherent inconveniences, I like having more than 3 1/2 days of Winter.

I live in NE Florida, so I probably stay about the same year round.

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.

bobarian · 10-22-2008, 05:41 PM

Almost 90 here today. And I smoke inside anyways, so I dont think I will slow down a whole lot.

BlackDog · 10-23-2008, 09:46 AM

I live in Minnesota, so outdoor smoking is definitely limited in the cooler weather. I'll occasionally smoke in the garage if it's not too cold, but that's not really very nice. I'll also sometimes smoke while ice fishing, because then I'm dressed for being in the cold. Otherwise I'll visit a B&M sometimes.

groogs · 10-23-2008, 09:40 PM

In the winter I still buy at my usual pace, but smoke only my small cigars. This means my collection grows by leaps and bounds during the winter months. When it is not raining I like to enjoy a nice smoke, but I tend to stick with the short smokes because I can't take the cold.

10-23-2008, 10:01 PM

definitely more smoking in the doors. more B&M's, bars, etc. all do i do enjoy a cold night with a some hot tea and a cigar once in awhile. i guess we'll see how cold its going to be this season.

10-22-2008, 01:41 PM

I definately slow down in the winter. I cut out any kind of outdoor smoking and keep it limited to an indoor lounge. I definately cut back on total consumption.

My lounge of choice any time of the year, Highland Cigars in Atlanta.

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...

Martin · 10-22-2008, 02:16 PM

I smoke in my home so i usually go through more in the winter cause "guests" keep droppin by for a smoke.

If yur here more than once a week yur considered family though.
I've got a BIG family

Ji, who is the geeky looking guy in the middle???? lol

When I get home I'll post a pic of how we roll in the mountains of California.

I have to retreat to the garage for cover. Definately not as much fun. The smokes get smaller and quicker unless I get one of those unseasonably warm days.

Definite slowdown because of the colder weather. I have a covered front porch and purchased a propane heater, so I might brave the cold a little more often this winter. If I clean the garage out and put in some ventilation, then I'll have another option.

10-22-2008, 01:15 PM

Last weekend I had to bundle up and smoke on my porch. I'm talking two pants, two socks, two sweatshirts, hat, and gloves. It wasn't too cold but it was too much work. My days of smoking outside will be limited to a few more times during the day and no more at night. Guess I'll be going to a bar if I want to smoke
