Indoors or Outdoors?

[DeeDubya]

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.

Outside. The only place inside I smoke is at our B&M, which is also a wine bar and I can't stand bars. I do go in once in a blue moon in the afternoon when no one else is there and read and smoke a cigar.

Dittio. The shorter half does not like me smoking inside, and honsetly, i dont want our apt to smell like my cigar shop does. Although, at one point i did live in a apt which i would occasionally smoke in. The weird thing was that when ever i smoked one, the building fire alarm would always go off, weird. I wonder if they ever figured that one out?

Rhetorically I must ask if there is really a bad place to smoke a cigar?

For me it is all about my mood when I am ready to smoke.

In the morning while reading e-mails it is on the lanai by the pool, it is the only place for my morning smoke. In the afternoon for the lunch time smoke it is at the local cigar club with some of the other afternoon regulars (lately these meetings have devolved into deep political discussions and my lunch hour lasts til 3 or 4). In the evening it all depends on what is going on. Usually back at home on the lanai watching the White Sox.

What can I say I enjoy them inside and out (unless too windy) then I agree with the rest of you, it just is not worth it.

I'm a smoke anywhere kinda guy.

I was wondering if anyone here has used a window fan as an exhaust? I tend to smoke in my study, which is at the base of the stairs that lead upstairs -- which tends to irk the wife (especially during the winter) and will not be acceptable when our little one comes home.

I may pick one up and see how it works -- it is certain to ruin to the aesthetics of the room, but if it is effective in eliminating smoke seepage to other rooms, it may be worth it.

It is 10 under zero here in Trento, so no way I'll go outside to smoke

I smoke mostly at work, in my office. I like opening the windows when outside temperature allows, tough.

Sometimes, we use a window fan in the basement. If you're in the vicinity of the fan, it works well. If you're across the room, not so well.
