If you could smoke in your home..

[MichiganM]

Would you?

I mean to say...if you were not impeded by the usual suspects in whatever situation you're in (wife, kids, neighbors, landlord, etc..) and you could freely smoke in your home while relaxing in your favorite recliner, would you?

Or would you still not smoke in your home for fear of the impending longstanding odor and whatever side effects that comes with?

[WhiteLightning]

I would smoke in a dedicated room only. I don't want the whole house smelling like cigars.

Kinda like above. I am not allowed with the child and wife saying no way. Even if I could with a deticated room it would be rarely if ever due to stale odor that is foul. I would smoke more inside during winter and maybe never during summer.

[WhiteLightning]

I would like to have the dedicated room ventilated in a perfect world.

[RigilKent]

sometimes i do in the basement. but the garage is good and if its warm enough who cares. definitely not in the summer out side all the time

[TexaSmoke]

I'm not sure, but I probably wouldn't since we can smoke outside pretty much all the time in houston.

[Volusianator]

In a perfect world I'd have the money to install the ultimate ventilation and set up a lounge in my home. Of course, that's in a perfect world, and I don't live in that world.

Or better yet, it'd be nice to build an out building and have that be a dedicated lounge!

This would be the ONLY way I would ever smoke in my house!

[tedski]

When I win the lottery, I will have a man-cave. A separate building from the house just for entertaining and guy-stuff. Fully ventilated with all the fixins ... big screen plasma with surround sound, humidor room, pool table, darts, full bar, sleeper couches, hooters waitresses ....

Perfect............. only where is the tasting room Ted?

[sascha]

I smoke in my house, not so much in summer and mainly in my office, but I do smoke in the house every day.
I might install a venting system in my house one day, but I gotta find a nice unit.
I am sure it would be different if we had kids, but Jillian is great about it, she understands how happy it makes me.
I love that girl.

in summertime I am in my workshop all the time anyway, so no big deal, but right now it's pouring, the hell I am going outside right now

[Rich K]

I'd only smoke in my house with a sweet ventilation system in a secluded room, just like WhiteLightning. That smell would bother me all the darn time otherwise.

[gbpacker66]

I do smoke in my home, not as much in the winter as the summer. I do have a decent air filtration system which helps out, but it can't handle cigar smoke that well. I do plan on a smoking room when I build my house in the next couple of years. I will have to call Wade to build my wallidor. :rofl:

[Havana Joe]

I'm on board with you there...Of course that will never happen :-( So I'm outdoors or in our shed at home :-)

[vperlman]

Yup. :guitar:

[dpricenator]

Maybe with the proper ventilation in a dedicated room. Wait what am I saying It only rains 5 days a years here and never gets that cold. I enjoy smoking under the stars at night.

[eodcole]

When I first joined the USAF when I was 19 I had a dorm room that I could smoke in. I did......once. The stale smoke scent got me to never to it again. Now if I had a room in a house with real good ventilation and almost no fabrics I'd consider it. Other than that I'll have a deck with one of those pimptastic propane umbrella heaters those things rock.

[jwintosh]

mmmmmm, mancave!! i like chuckster's setup,,, corner of the garage walled-in, open the garage door a few inches,,, mighty fine ventilation!! add your leather recliners, a couple floor ashtrays, and a TV. yep! once i find my garage floor, i'm gonna do that!!

[Proud Bear]

I'm gonna go with the masses. I will smoke only in a dedicated room.

My eventual aim is to have a very plush, very expensive dedicated room that will hold very comfy chairs, a very large plasma tv, a very nice sound system and very, very nice cigars.

:)

I'm having a new 28'x30' Two Stall Man Cave built, and I'm having a smoking/mad room built in also ........:clap:

[GoneDave]

I smoke when I want,where I want, and as much as I want..:smokingme
The world is my ashtray!:halfgrinw
Then the wife and kids come home and off to the garage I go!!:stickbeat

[BradMc]

How did I know that was coming.............:stickbeat :hammersma :boxing: :wifey:

[tedski]

I'll have an elevator behind the bar that leads down to the wine cellar ...

:yes:

Same here.

[Fox]

I smoke in the house. I only smoke about 3 - 4 sticks a week these days due to so much O.T. and wifey does not mind the smell. I do stand or sit near the front door, with it open, (we do have a screen door) out of respect for her and the casa. As she says: "It is your house too. . ." She says the house smells fine. Going on 26 years of wedded bliss. . .:smile:

ETA: She recently told me that she would love for me to have a "man cave" for smoking/drinking with the boys. . .What a gal! Our current house is too small though. . .Hmmm. . .must make plans. . .

that's kinda the boat I am in as well, my girl is great

[0patience]

I installed a through the wall ventilation fan by my desk.
That is the room I smoke cigars in. There is no way I would smoke outside, it rains all the time here. During the winter, the monsoon season starts in October and doesn't stop until May. So, unless I want to smoke soggy cigars, I don't have much of a choice.

The fan is one of those high "cfm" fans. There is a switch on the wall by my desk. Sometimes, I would prefer one of those less noisy fans, but it wouldn't move the volume of air this one does.
Plus, the fan noise really isn't that noticeable, unless someone is across the room.

I'm forutunate to have a bride that doesn't mind me smoking in the house, provided that there is some way to ventilate it, so I made it so there was.
And occasionally, I have to smoke a Moontrance to keep her happy. :rofl:

[Angry Bill]

I don't smoke in my home or in my car!

[no_substitute]

wives that let you smoke in the house??? where do you find these women???

actually, it's my idea to smoke outside. it would be too convenient to smoke inside and i would burn 6 or 8 a day

[Deepcrimsondice]

I would. I'm tired of having to lean out the window of my bedroom because man it's been cold outside. Lmao.

[Angry Bill]

I would. I'm tired of having to lean out the window of my bedroom because man it's been cold outside. Lmao.

Ah yeah, It's been cold out here too!... lol.. And rainy!

[thecatmac]

I would rather get my ass off the couch and go in the garage, poke around the cars, or take the dogs in the backyard and enjoy watching them play...

[blackeye30]

nope, garage or b&m for me, i too live in oregon aka the cold rain forest. i smoked in my car for the first time last week on the way the casino, and i have to say, it's more hassle than its worth

[matalo]

I close on my new home on Feb 8 and move in Feb 9. I have a side room built especially (and only) for me. It is only 9x11 but will be equipped with 42" plasma, leather futon (for those dog days), a new cabinet humidor (empty for now) and whatever other crap I can fit in there. Oh, and yes, I WILL be smoking in there.

[kyleb]

I just bought my first house, so this has been a big decision for me.

One part of me says - Hey, you work hard to pay for this house, its your house, do what you want!

But then that damned other part in me says otherwise.

I think I'll end up in the garage, with a nice flat screen to watch (I'm not exactly the type to have a garage full of tools, work benches, ect)

[Perseus459]

I have my man cave in the basement, and that's the only place I smoke in the house.

[Smurf]

My apartment is not that big. I hae a balcony i smoke on, but it's too cold now. So now, it's a dog walk, the bar, or my car (occasioanlly, i am reluctant to make it smell too much in there since i give lots of rides).

One of our local B&M owners put one in his den at home. Put in an excellent ventilation system, had the walls sealed and leather furniture. It was excellent. He used it for a year until he got married. She said no more. He reverted back, had it cleaned and there was no residual problems. It is all in the preparation.

Sounds like it will turn out nice. Post some pics when its done.

[Trumpetchris]

I live in an apartment with another cigar smoker. I got a lampe berger and a small tower air cleaner for this winter. We tried smoking in the living room last night for the first time. Some residual smell in the living room this morning, even with an exhaust fan going while we smoked and the air cleaner running all night. I think the key would be to have wood or tile floors and leather furniture, not carpet and cloth chairs! Probably not going to be a frequent thing, but maybe nice to do once in a while. It should be warm enough to smoke outside most days in about a month.

I trust he turned in his man card after this. . .:hysterica

[smokem94]

I am with Tedski.....a man cave seperate from the house.....I am working on it!!!!

[dpricenator]

I'm sure he did, but it got swapped for a "I get laid every day" card. I love being married.

Interesting perspective. . .I also love being married and neither of us (:lady: ) had to swap anything. . .:glassesgr. . .which was of course, my point. As a long time observer of human nature, I have seen that type of swap have many negative ramifications down the road. . .I hope it works out for him.

[archaeology22]

I only smoke cigars 1-2 days a week and I do so inside. My house is a typical New England rowhouse with 3 levels. The third floor is one large open room and I have it set up like a cigar lounge with an exhaust fan in the window. Since it is on the third floor and smoke always rises, most of the smoke stays there and doesn't spread to the rest of the house. The vent does not eliminate 100% of the odor, but I do notice that the smell disappears within a day or two.
