I've retreated into my Air Conditioned smoke room for the summer and have found an inexpensive way to improve the smoke/odor problem. In a previous thread I mentioned how a simple "Filtrete Allergen Reduction Filter" taped over the intake side of an inexpensive box fan removes the smoke in the room. I addressed the odor problem with a combination of Ozone Generator and various Febreze sprays,
This afternoon I found that adding a "Filtrete Allergen Reduction + Odor Elimination Filter" between the fan and the primary filter prevents both cigar smoke and aroma from becoming a problem. Works great for a small single smoker room. The odor elimination filter has activated carbon in-bedded in the filter material
I have plans for a larger smoke room in the new house and will probably have to upsize this hack. I think that with a larger CFM in-line ducted fan, the filters and a bit of ingenuity I can keep the air breathable without venting cooled or heated air to outside. They sell activated carbon in bulk so I may try to save a couple of bucks on the odor elimination filter.
