I set aside some time after lunch today to enjoy a Sam Leccia White that sparky426 sent me. Usually I smoke cigars after dinner, but the kids were at a visitation with their mom, and the forecast said rain starting at 5 pm. So, here are my questions:

1) It was really windy. My house is shaped somewhat like a U, with my outdoor table in the crook of the U, so I wasn't getting too much wind, but it was windy. My lighter (Xikar ELX) was having issues too. Do any of y'all smoke outdoors in windy conditions?

2) I had to relight the thing three times. It was also tunneling, which was apparent because I used my pocket knife to knock off as much loose ash as possible, and the wrapper was unburned a good 1/4" past where the loose ash was inside the cigar. My OXOdor is at a steady 68-69%, so it shouldn't be over-humidified. I take my puffs roughly every 30 seconds. Perhaps this was because of the windy conditions?

3) I may look into getting an ashtray and smoking in my spare garage. It's an empty two-car garage (well, empty of cars. Plenty of shelves and assorted junk in there, hehe), so that will eliminate any environmental issues.

Thoughts?
