    Smoking in the winter?

    Well the cold is slowly approaching here in the Northeast and I was wondering how/if you guys smoke during the winter months? Anyone smoke in their house with some sort of fan/air purifying combo?

    I've never smoked in my house, the lingering smell would be too much for me.

    I got a little heater that hooks to the top of a propane tank and it puts off enough heat to keep me warm on the deck or in the garage with the door cracked. A single tank lasted all winter and then some, using it a couple times per week.

    I'm in Texas though, not sure how it would stand up to 0 degree temps or anything like that.

    Similar to Cardinal, I use a small ceramic heater on my back porch in the winter.

    I smoke in my kitchen, and turn on the exhaust fan over the stove. I also usually crack a window. It's not ideal, but it's just too cold in the middle of winter to hang outside with a cigar in New England. It doesn't bother my wife, and I don't leave the kitchen with my cigar, so all is good. Honestly, the odor doesn't linger all that long.

    When I still lived in the northeast I basically stopped smoking during the winter unless I went to a cigar bar. Just too damn cold to be outside smoking. On a very rare occasion I would open the window, turn on a fan and smoke inside. But then I would regret it all week when my house smelled like smoke. So I fixed that problem and moved south

    I'm out on the porch with this, if it gets to cold the lounge is about 5 blocks away.
    Don’t wait for the storm to pass. Learn to dance in the rain.

    Never had a chance to finish it because of a January thaw but this year I'm finishing my "Canadian smoking shed"

    I have an absolutely wonderful girlfriend that lets me smoke at home (we live in a small apartment, so no garage option for me). She never complains about the cigar or cigarette stench although she doesn't smoke herself, but I do feel (slightly) bad for stinking up the apartment so the cigar consumption rate drops significantly in the winter months when the windows can't be kept open. Correspondingly pipe smoking increases exponentially, since the smell is significantly less noxious and she will even comment on how nice certain blends smell (even the ones with Latakia in them, I am truly blessed...)
    And this is in the island of Mallorca when temperatures never, EVER drop below 0ºC (32F for you Americans) and rarely below 5 or 6ºC (which i estimate at around 10ºF)
    OTOH, we have no cigar lounges in Spain, which sucks really hard. I'd probably trade being able to smoke cigars at home for having some of those around...
