However I live in Arizona. So the "cold" sits somewhere between 70-75 degrees right now.

The real problem is during our summers. Try smoking a big maduro cigar at 8:00 pm (or am) when its 115 degrees.

Went out on the deck an smoked a FDO short torpedo last night. It was 21 degrees but I was cooking some sausages on the grill so I said screw it and fired up. I was sipping on a cocktail so that did help, but damn it was cold!

Now thats a good example of "Optimism" for all of us.

According to the bank account, apparently I use this time of year to stock up on cigars Got 2 boxes delivered last week and I am expecting 4 more to arrive later in the week I really don't have a good place to smoke at the house but when I need to run some errands I will have a cigar in the car with the heater on and the window cracked open.

heated garage = heaven!

As I'm typing I'm enjoying a good smoke outside before it starts to rain about 48F not to cold.

you get:
- warmth
- drink
- cigar
- crisp fresh winter air
- something to look at (the sidewalk and your driveway)

honestly if you position the heater right you can sit there in your beater. it's quite nice.

This is exactly what I do. It seems to work rather well too.

Holy bejeezus has it been cold here in NJ. I have resorted to smoking in my shop clothes, seeing that my workshop has no heat except for a small space heater that really only takes the chill out of the air and makes it tolerable to work.

2x shortsleeve shirts
1x longsleeve thermal shirt
1x beatup sweatshirt
1x Carhartt work jacket (w/hood, used when the wind kicks up)
1x cotton socks
1x thick wool socks
1x thermal pants
1x lined workout pants
1x fleece hat

I can work all day in this garb down to about 25degrees! I need it too at 5'10" and 175, I ain't got a lot of meat on them bones.

Luckily, there's no smoking ban around us so if I really get the urge, I head for one of the local taverns for a drink and a smoke or two. I will head out to the unheated garage and take care of business with a robusto. I bundle up pretty well, but it still gets cold.

Like my wife says, "it's better here in the winter than it was in Fairbanks". I don't mind the cold, for a while.

Cold? What cold? I've still got some tomatoes growing out back. It's getting a little chilly in the early morning but late morning and the afternoons are around 70 here. I'm still wearing shorts and tank tops.

I bought a 750ml bottle of liquid heat (Single Malt Scotch) out with me for my smokes the other day, it was very successful.

Firepit on the weekends or a trip to the cigar shop where you can sit and enjoy your stogie. Have never smoked in my truck but the commute home from work I could probably finish a robusto...

Cold weather = strong pipe tobacco

I handle it by smoking indoors in my smoking room.

Recommend it highly......it also works well during the dog days of summer.

Freezing ( or sweating) my ass off to smoke a cigar takes all the enjoyment out of it for me. I guess I'm getting too old.
