  • 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.

I'm in Green Bay. Guess which "One" of the votes is mine. I sat outside in the single digits several times this winter. A full glass of single malt anti-freeze helps.

This week it's been above freezing. I've been driving around with my window down. That's after 17.8" of snow last Wednsday.

I have a cheap little fire pit that I would use more if I had a cheap supply of wood around. I also have a shed and a portable heater that I thought about using, but never did. Come winter, I rarely smoke. I squeeze one in inside with the window fan on weekend mornings when the woman is at work.

I wouldn't know,....I smoke mostly all year round here in Texas. Probably had about 5-10 days that it got pretty cold where I couldn't smoke.

I cannot separate cold and wind. If it's 70 and blowing like a mother, what am I going to enjoy. But if it's 50, sunny, and no wind, that works.

Sometimes a garage and comfy chair can negate the wind and cold, but its go to be reasonable. Ohio just sucks like that.

I want a little house just for smoking. :yes:

I've bundled up many of nights to have a smoke. Below 40 gets a little hard on the hands, switching back and forth left to right. It isn't pretty but, when you want a stick. It just keeps calling you!

I've been spoiled by living in this so called paradise my entire life. You won't see me outside smoking a stogie below 60. Freezing!

I checked 20 and below. I have a patio heater so as long as the wind isn't blowing I will be cozy under he heater. I know I was out one time at 22 degrees and I was fine as long as I was under the heater.

I've done 15*F during the winter with no patio heater. Just bundled up in ski clothes. Not much fun but it was my bday! I feel that the cold really affects the flavor of the cigar. I've smoked several stogies of the same vitola out in 20-40F and then at room temp and they just had more flavor and tasted way better in room temp environments. So, I'm saying anything under 60*F is a no-no for me!
