It was a frosty 40 degrees this morning in Houston, very unusual weather for this area at this time of year. By 11:30AM it was up in to the low 50's with a 15-20mph wind. I put on hat, gloves and coat and went to take my lunch break with a Ashton Cabinet churchill. All bundled up and with my back tot the wind, I enjoyed my cigar with a good book and a big glass of iced coffee.

Yes, I said iced coffee - I needed the kick it carries as Starbucks iced coffee is very strong. I never let a little cold weather get in my way when it comes to enjoying a fine cigar. Then again, it usually never gets lower than the 40's in the daytime here, even during winter. I once smoked a cigar outside when it was about 25 degrees but there was no wind and plenty of sunshine so I still enjoyed it.
