BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Do you have one? Does it work well? I seen a bunch of similar ones that looked the same of ebay but had different names
When I smoked cigarettes, and indoors, I had several devices. None worked half as well as a box fan in the window.....
Wouldn't even consider trying to clear 2 hours worth of cigar smoke from a room without actual exhaust.

I have this one. Cheap and works great, no filters or other stuff to buy down the road. Wife approves and I smoke every day in my home office.
However, I do have an inline exhaust fan setup as well and would not count on this solely to do the job.
I run exhaust fan when smoking and turn on air ionizer during last third and let both run at least half hour afterwards. Then ionizer is on timer to come on for an hour or so middle of the night and a coupe of times during the work day just to keep things fresh.
Good luck with the move and congrats on the house.

I've been through quite a few air purifiers. As the previous poster said, an air purifier or multiple units, will not be as good as a proper exhaust fan.
Don't buy any air purifier/smoke eater that uses hepa filters or hepa type filters. Cigar smoke will quickly clog these filters and make them useless. Filters are expensive, so it just not a good option.
Go with a decent system that uses the metal plates that you clean on a regular basis. I use windex to clean mine and it works great. Also, most of these units don't move a ton of air. Be sure to buy one that cleans the room at least a few times and hour and that it has a decent fan motor. The silent cleaners just don't work very well because they can't move the air, which is crucial for any sort of cleaning.

When I get there I'd like to put an exhaust fan in on top of the filter. And maybe crack the window for good measure. On the bright side the kids rooms wont be over the garage anymore 
What happened to your avatar? It's freaking me out.
Freakin @herfdog put a BOW-WOW-BOMB in the latest round of the cigar pass. My stitches come out Saturday !

I ment in the room lol. I still have to build a wall so I have some time for research. Wife laid claim to the already finished room in the basement as a play room for the kids and the big finished room will be common ground lol

A buddy loves these. They will also periodically have a sale where it's buy the new model, get an old model for free too. However, he does not smoke so I have no idea how it'd perform there. Otherwise he always loved it and said it made a noticeable difference in his home.

Can you elaborate?
Mine was not within your cost parameters, that's why I didn't chime in...

But come to think of it, they do make a smaller model:
