I have approval for a man cave / cigar room in a 10x14 basement room. about a 7 ft dropped ceiling. It has no ventilation fan in it. Two windows that can open. tiled, heated flooring..
I dont want to install a ventilation system that pumps to the exterior of the house (atleast not anywhere in the near future).
My fear is the wife, who will gladly use it, will begin to change her mind about smoking cigars inside, if the smell becomes to overwhelming. Obviously Im gonna take the steps to not put fabrics that will absorb cigar odor, but the cork board dropped ceiling already has me at a disadvantage there. In the winter months I don't want to have to open a window.
Can people advise about air filters, purifiers etc that would work in this situation. I have been reading a lot of reviews, but I feel they don't answer my question directly.
Basically what I want to know is there a system that will help clear cigar smoke, while actively smoking, that doesn't vent outside. Experience on how loud such systems are, i.e. Will it effect watching TV or casual conversation? how good is it at fighting odur, or should I be looking for a separate piece of equipment that handles odor.
I think if there is something that can absorb the smoke as it is occurring, it should never get to bad with some occasional airing out. Opinions??? Thx.
