I don't think I would want to smoke in the house. As much as I appreciate and enjoy the aroma of my cigars, I don't think I'd want the entire house to be permeated. I smoke in my office about once a week using an air purifier, and notice that if I smoke there more, the smell never goes away. Again, it's not that that's a bad smell, but I personally prefer no smell. I'm happy with patio, it never gets cold here anyway.
