Winter and cigar smoking are NOT great bedfellows. Not even grudging room mates.
Cold months are upon us, and I don't have an outdoor sanctuary to shelter me from the elements to enjoy a cigar so I came up with an idea to build a "smoke shack" in the basement to enjoy my cigars in warmth and comfort.
PC's are great for short cold weather cigars, but waiting until spring to enjoy all the goodies I've accumulated frankly depresses the hell out of me.
A little trip...ok trips to Lowes and I've now got a 8' long, 5.5' wide, 6'9" tall frame constructed.
Going to cover it with 6 mil polyethylene sheeting to completely close it in, and set up an exhaust fan to vent everything directly to the outside. It will be fully enclosed and vented to keep any cigar smoke from being able to escape into the house. It's going to be my cigar sanctuary for winter months so I'm pretty psyched about getting it finished as I sit coldly enjoying my LFD Coronado on the porch tonight.
Why all the trouble?
My Dad doesn't smoke, and I certainly don't want to expose my daughter to it. I passionately savor my cigar smoking time but I'm not wanting to inflict it on them, so everybody wins.
A little quick carpentry driven by the cold and the prospect of yet again several months without being able to enjoy all the cigars that require a time investment the cold won't allow is the mother of invention.
Anybody has any thoughts I'd be glad to hear them, once I've finished her up I'll have some pictures to post.
