Question Regarding Cigar Lounge Construction

Have an exhaust fan in the room that vents to the outside.

This. And if the space is on the same AC system as the rest of the house like ashauler said, you'll either need the exhaust fan to remove at least 100% of the air that is brought in with the AC or take the space off of the AC system.

Smoke outside.

Thanks for the ideas guys!

I think my plan will be a plastic barrier in the ceiling, an exhaust to outside, and some sort of smoke eater. There is no A/C in the basement, and not really a need for it anyway, so that wont be an issue.

I don't have A/C in the basement either....well, except for a return air supply.

You might want to just start with the exhaust option, it may eliminate the need for the barrier and save you some money.

Smoke outside.

This option is the cheapest and is the one I employ (even though lately it has been absolutely freezing here, we got below 70 the other night!).

Solid advice and that's where I would start too.

Keep in mind your HVAC ducts will pass smoke throughout the house too........especially if the furnace/AC/fan is running and your smoking near a return air intake. Even if the furnace/AC/fan isn't running and you're near a return air intake or supply air vent, it'll still help to pass the smoke and smell around the house so check for any return air intakes and close all supply grills in your smoking area (while you're smoking, open them again after you're done and the smoke has been extracted) as the smoke and smell can pass from place to place through those if the fan isn't running.

LMAO @ "elegant"

C'mon, -25C isn't all that bad ya pansy!

Says Mr "Winter in Connecticut" ................. who's the pansy????



Any time you wanted to CC, you could come and visit me and sit out on my deck and smoke a cigar. I'll provide you with the Churchill or Toro of your choice from my meagre stash. All you have to do is sit outside in the wind on the shady side of my house and smoke it when it's -25 C

heh heh heh............

Might have to wait til next winter though as it's close enough to spring our temps have been hovering up around 0 lately.
