For those of you that smoke your cigars outside, what gloves do you use? I work in the cold, but those gloves won't work for cigar smoking.

Cold Weather Gloves for Cigars?
- Thread starter K Williams
- Start date
My personal philosophy (because I'm a wimp when it comes to such matters) is that if it's too cold to smoke with bare hands, it's too cold to smoke.
However, with my photography I don't always have the luxury of saying "too damned cold". So for those occasions, I use hunting mitts. I can fold the top back when I need to use my camera and fold it back when I don't.
These are not the pair I have but they are similar:

Zip over to a sporting goods store or an archery store. I have a pair intended for bow hunting (feel is important) that are second to none when it comes to cigar smoking in the cold. But they aren't going to be a great help in the really cold stuff. Then the best bet are those mitts you can pop the tops off to expose the ends of your fingers.

Good luck!

Aviator nomex flight gloves...
thin enough to allow finger dexterity... but still offer a little warmth/protection.. and theyre inexpensive..

Awesome. Thanks.
14 BELOW here today. Too cold for me to be smoking. I use Hatch insulated neoprene gloves for my winter smoking. I did have to switch to a lighter with a button on the side rather than the top after burning a hole through the thumb though....
I use regular cotton gloves with an insulating layer. They're kind of fuzzy, so I have take care not to burn them...
For all high precision operations such as clipping and lighting I have to take them off, but since that doesn't last more than a couple of seconds, it's no big deal.

I am also hunting for some gloves and glad you made a thread about it. I just haven't found anything where I feel a secure grip on the stick... I also smoke smaller cigars so there's not much room for padding on the gloves without it getting too close to the end.
Has anyone tried out these smoking mittens? Maybe modify them for cigar use?

That point is right now. Haven't had a cigar or bowl of pipe tobacco in two days.

I should probably get the hunting gloves sometime next week.
