Indoors or Outdoors?

[Locke]

Hello all.....
For me, smoking indoors is unmatched: no wind, smoke hangs in the air, quiet, no interruptions, etc. I find smoking outdoors to be unenjoyable, always get an uneven burn from the wind, smoke seems to disappear as soon as I blow it out of my mouth, etc.
Unfortunately smoking in my apartment is not permited, and in my busy day to day life it's very difficult to find the time to go to a lounge.

Here's the question I ask you fellow cigar smokers: setting aside golf, dog walking, and yardwork....when you sit down for a nice relaxing smoke, do you prefer indoors or outdoors? Am I the only one who doesn't find outdoor smoking enjoyable?

Cheers-
Locke

I really enjoy sitting outside with a nice cigar, at least this time of year. In another month, it will become really humid and hot, so I'll be inside where I keep the temps close to 70*.

My answer is: I PREFER Outside, But I'll smoke in the house, if it's windy, or raining.

I can't smoke inside. so i usually smoke outside by the firepit at night, at the renfaire, or at Enhaf backyard. the only times i smoked inside is at herfs.

Since the weather is warming up I've been sitting outside. I enjoy smoking a cigar outside ... but I don't enjoy the cigar as much outside. Like Locke said, as soon as I open my mouth the smoke is pulled out. I just don't get as much aroma and flavor as I do when I sit inside. But I enjoy the experience of being outside with one.

I too prefer smoking inside, but with the province wide smoking ban and a 7 month old at home it's either outside or in the garage for me.

Unless I'm at the B&M or someone's house I usually smoke outside. I don't mind either way as long as I have a cigar.

Given that space is at a premium in Los Angeles, I do most of my smoking indoors. There are some benefits to smoking inside.....watching tv/movie or surfing the web. Also, smoking at a lounge is always a good time.....I have a soft spot in my heart for relaxing on a nice leather couch and being surrounded by flat screen tv's while having a fine smoke.

On the other hand, smoking outdoors can be nice too...especially if the weather's nice and if you have a decent place to smoke. I don't know if this would count as "outside" but I love having a smoke while driving.

Needless to say, I'm fine with smoking indoors or out as long as it's comfortable.

I prefer to smoke indoors, but that's almost impossible now that we have the smoking ban and the wife is not too fond of the smoke.

If I could, I would smoke in the house.......but my wife doesn't want me to so I don't. I smoke outside on the deck on in MY garage where I rule.

I agree that wind while smoking makes it less enjoyable.....but, I live in Kansas, so there is always some wind. I've learned to live with it and have a spot on the patio that is mainly sheltered from the prevailing wind.

I do prefer smoking outdoors. The second-hand smoke that lingers in a room is too hard on my sinuses. Although not like Kansas, we too have some wind. I go in my workshop to toast and light and then out to the deck.
I'm working on a prototype for an electric lighter that won't be affected at all by the wind. It will toast and light without touching the cigar. When I say electric I mean it actually plugs into an outlet. I'll post some pics as soon as I can get an image page published to my website.

In the winter I smoke in the basement due to the whether and in the summer I smoke outside. Honestly I prefer to be out side smoking in the nice fresh air. But at the same time I do enjoy a nice smoke inside every so often.
