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.

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

Garage for me in the winter.

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...
A lounge or not smoking for me in the winter.
Used to smoke in the house with a fan, the windows open, provided no rain or snow, and then a heavy dose of air freshener and febreeze for the curtains. But the Mrs has a keen sense of smell & asked me not to smoke in the house.
If there isn't much wind I'll fire up the fireplace on my back porch and sit by it. Otherwise, it's a lounge or no cigar. Dark days are ahead...
That's pure Detroit right there :)Quote:

Up here in Ontario, I heat up the garage, my workshop or just sit in the hot tub to have a cigar during the long winter....
big bulky arctic coat gloves stocken cap, large hot coffee....everyday on the front porch....
I sometimes smoke in my mancave room with the window cracked about 6" with a fan blowing out. I also stock up on small short smokes, JH Shots, Il Rothchilds, Monte #4 and #5's, etc. for sitting on the back porch by a space heater. I am also bundled up in layers and sometimes grab a Hot Pocket pouch used when hunting to keep my hands warm.

Perfect evening here in NE Oklahoma again!...Quote:

On weekend I can usually go out on my front steps (just like I am now) bundled up with my smoking gloves...two fingertips snipped off. If it 25 degrees or so I can deal with it. When it was around 0 F like last winter I just can't do it. Another winter like last winter and I'm south bound.

I smoke inside. Installed an inline exhaust fan in the attic above my office / mancave room and dropped a couple of vents in the ceiling and haven't looked back. Don't smoke anywhere else in the house nor ever walk around with a cigar. Contained to one room and exhausted out.
Before that it was in the car - no garage here.
Only if you're being blunt...Quote:

I have a three seasons room where I smoke so I open the windows and turn on the propane next to me. That heater is a flame thrower! And we definitely have 0 degrees in upstate Indiana. Got the heater last year and it changed my cigar smoking life during the winter!Quote:

I have a brewery at my new home and I will be smoking in there this winter when its just too cold outside or if its raining and I really want a cigar. I recall last year I would take my dog for a walk in the evenings with a killer jacket, gloves and an umbrella. The dog got walked a lot last winter..LOL
Cheers

I either smoke at my office in the back shop or I smoke in my shop at home. No smoking in the house
Mmmmmmmm . . . tobacco smoke flavored beer . . . . :)Quote:
