Indoors or Outdoors?

[Cabaiguan Juan]

Outside. The only place inside I smoke is at our B&M ...

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.

Outside for sure with some friends and a tasty beverage...

If the weather is perfect, like it was today in Pueblo, then you can't beat it. I sit inside enough at work.

I prefer inside to smoke. However, in the nicer weather, we sit outside on the porch, as the group usually prefers that.
In the winter, like tonight, my wife and I sit in front of the coal stove in the basement, and puff away with no fans.

Since I live in northern CA. and I don't have a lounge and the wife don't let me smoke in doors so there is only one place for me. I like it that way though.

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.

A fan blowing out the window will definitely keep the rest of the house smelling nice. You have to make sure you've got negative pressure in the room you're smoking in. With the fan going close the door and feel around teh gap at the bottom... there should be a slight breeze blowing into the room. As long as you have that you're golden.

Personally, I prefer to smoke outside. I could smoke indoors when I lived at home with my Dad but my room started to get smelly. Too many cigars in a small space. It gets real windy here but as long as you can find a little shelter it's ok. I also really enjoy a smoke while I drive, but I don't really have anywhere far enough away to go that I have time for a cigar. When I lived in NOVA I commuted all over Metro DC for work and that gave me plenty of opportunities, but not any more.

I mainly smoke outside on my back porch soaking in the sunshine :)

Not much wind on the back side of the house either.

Don't smoke inside except at the B&M.

I also really enjoy a smoke while I drive

I do too, but I've noticed that a lot of the time I'll have severe uneven burning issues, even if I regularly rotate the cigar. Is it a series of unfortunate cigars, or a common problem?
