How cold is too cold to sit outside and smoke?

[orangedog]

right now (11:30p) it is 55F and I'm under a heat lamp... would probably go about 10 degrees cooler in business attire... a little cooler with a jacket or sweater

And why did Cowboy post this, living in Chatsworth?!

Cause I just got back from Chicago where it was 35. Too cold for me.

40 or below isn't comfortable for me. Shoot even 50's pushing it if there's a breeze. My spot on the deck gets a good bit of sun during my usual afternoon cigar time so 50 and no breeze is pretty comfortable if you put on a jacket. Can't wait for those 70's to return...

I don't smoke outside. This goes right back to the fact that cigars are a luxury for me and as such if I can not full enjoy it I am not doing it.
some times I smoke less then I would like because of this but it also helps me not feel like addicted cigarette smoker.

I'm with Aaron here. The only time I'll smoke and be outside in the cold is when I'm doing up a batch of homebrew on the propane burner on my patio. It's bearable but still I rarely smoke on days like that. Luckily I work at a B&M a few days a week and I get to smoke inside with comfortable temps. Now if I've been drinking and don't feel the cold that's one thing but I tend to stay inside even if it's under 60. If I can't be comfortable what's the point of burning a little money in the form of a cigar.

Fortunately for me, I work in a cigar shop. I light up indoors!

coldest i smoked was around 10*f

I live in suburb of Chicago so after a few weeks below 15 degrees, 30 - 40 degrees seems like a heat wave.

If it was 55F here, I would probably be outside in short and a light jacket having a smoke. Guess it's all what you're used to. :agreesmil

Anything colder than 60f here. I'm so over bundling up heading out to the shed and cranking up the space heaters and still being cold. I will now patiently wait until the weather warms to fire up my smokes or head to the B&M to relax there. Spring weather can't come soon enough. Then it will be "How hot is too Hot to smoke" I say bring it on!

Would it be easier to answer if the options were denoted by degrees Celsius? :smokingbo :hysterica:razz:

I've been hanging out in SoCal... usually between 11p and 1a I head outside with one of those tall gas heaters

Crap....I thought it was degrees Kelvin.

Outside my window it is cold and hailing as I type this, but after the Cougar game gets over I am lighting up a Padron 1964 Anniversary

I can honestly say that the cold hasn't deterred me from enjoying a smoke. Throw on thermals and a couple of layers and the goose and I'm good to go into my garage/mancave with the door a quarter closed.

Windchill included I've smoked below 0*F for sure.

Somewhere between 0 and 10 degrees, snot freezes solid in your nose and any saliva on the cigar turns to ice between puffs. Above that, it's okay.

I smoked outside 2 winters ago when it was -17 degrees. I had to be outside at work anyways so I figured I might as well try to make it a little enjoyable. I do not mind smoking in the old if I have to be outside. If I don't have to be outside I prefer a good 40 degrees or warmer.

 

[orangedog]

how do you cold-enthusiasts keep your cigars lit, outside of puffing away rapidly?

I have never had an issue in the cold. I probably do smoke a lot faster due to the cold but I do not constantly puff away.

My wife let me convert the 3rd car garage section into a man-cave. Installed a ventillation system to keep her happy. Stays a constant 65 degrees all winter. Definitely allows my cigar time to remain a luxury.

I'm from Wisconsin, you don't know cold!! Smoke in any temperature!

As long as it's not too cold to start the van...
