Will be interesting to see just how well the system keeps up today. 2 nights ago it was 18 out and 70 degrees in the lounge. (the radiant floor was at 72) It should hit single digits tonight so the sytem will get a true test today. I love a challange! For the guys that don't have the money for a whole house lounge in the North or Midwest. I would start looking into a nice heater/large bath vent (or eductor motor) combo. Makes this a 12 month sport........ Btw Vitty any idea on what your setup cost after you were finished? Could be a usefull for the guys inquiring.

Well, a fan near the window helps. My friend mentioned taking an air purifier with scented filters to remove the smell afterwards. I must try this invention. I will have to ask him how it was built, and share.

You guys are hardcore cigar aficionados. There's no way in hell I'm sitting out in -35 degree temps to smoke a cigar and I LOVE to smoke cigars (just ask my wife)! You'd be hard pressed to find me outside smoking a cigar with temps in the 50's.

If I were you I would just pack up my laptop and set up a "mobile office" at Tobacco Grove or Burn. :)

First winter in Iowa. Just moved from AZ. I feel your pain. No B&M anywhere near me that has a lounge. I would normally have been on my patio with t-shirt and shorts. I need to heat my garage or something.

I might have to do that more frequently this semester.

Sadly I do not have a laptop or I would. :)
A laptop is an essential that should be provided for you Josh. Besides you need to be able to check out competitive products as part of the product development process so hanging out at Tobacco Grove is actually necessary for your job. :smokingco

If you'd like I can have a conversation with Lilo on your behalf. All it will cost you is a 5er of the new Cremo Maduros LOL.

2x 5ers and I'll throw my technological knowledge to help out picking up the laptop. Lol

No need for the convo. We got our bases covered. I scout many stores and do research from home. Time at a lounge is free time, not work time lol

I guess I am just tough from living in MN my whole life. I broke down and smoked inside. Airing the place out was cold, but luckily it was quick.

PM me an address... I'll fix that for you...

She's a beater...the battery is shot.. So you'll have to replace or live with leaving it plugged in all the time.. And you'll need to get someone to look into the drivers for the wireless modem... It's acting squirrley...

But I've got a Dell Inspirion that you're welcome to have if you want it...

I was literally planning on craigslisting it this week and was going to give it away to the first person that came to pick it up...

I'd much prefer a BOTL get it than someone else if it is needed/wanted...
