Who smokes no matter how hot it is outside? NY is in another heat wave but I can be sitting out there baking and smoking. Cold weather is tough but hot doesn’t bother me. My wife thinks I’m nuts.

If it's too cold or too hot, I'll sit in my truck with the temperature regulated. Hot and cold weather can influence the taste of your cigar. Ideal smoking conditions are the same as your cigar's ideal storage conditions.

Inside temps weren't enough to obsess about?

I live in AZ and I smoke outside no matter the temp. I usually smoke after 9PM, but in the summer it may still be 100+ then. In the winter, it may be in the high 40's to low 50's so I have a patio heater to stay warm.

I'm seriously thinking about getting a patio heater so that I can smoke outside this year. I don't know anything about them. Propane? How long does a tank last?

I like the heat. And much prefer smoking outside if possible.

Heat doesn't really bother me but humidity is a different story as it could affect the cigar I'mma smoking and cause burn issues. But cold, ooh boy, that's a different story. Tough to go outside when the temps are under 65F. I gotta bundle up - sweatpants, sweatshirt and tube socks. On the plus side, drinking some 110+ proof bourbon does help.

I usually have a cigar each morning after my workout as part of the cooldown. Many times it is already upper nineties by then but I have a patio ceiling fan that helps. Afternoon or evening cigar is often on a floaty in the pool during summer and the weather is mostly fine the rest of the year in Az.

Lol I’m over the obsession stage, I think (hope). Doctor told me this morning to cut the 5-6 smokes a week in half, so I’m not going to go nuts over this anymore.

You should get one, they're great. I have the type that stands about 7 feet tall with a base that houses a gas grill propane tank and a top that looks like one of those flying saucer sleds turned upside down. I use mine all year long but mostly in the winter. I can sit outside toasty warm with no coat even in the coldest New England winters. Mostly I just park it near the grill and it melts everything around it and keeps me warm grilling. My basement workshop is my cigar lounge, I have a walkout and a bunch of windows.

I don’t seem to smoke nearly as much when it’s hot. Cigars don’t taste as good

Nice! Perhaps one day I will change my basement family room into my cigar lounge. That sounds like a great idea.

I might hafta get one of these.... 🤔

Luckily I am an adult man with thousands of years of robust genetic pedigree. As a man with means I have my own lounge in my home, so when the temperature rises to ranges only suited for Haitian yard workers, I smoke inside at a cool 68 degrees. Likewise, as an adult man with prodigious genes, I do not need a heater or a blanket when the winter witch comes. If you cannot sit outside and enjoy a cigar anytime the temp plummets below 50 degrees, you should acknowledge your genetic malfeasance and pass on spawning that fetid ill-constructed DNA. But your mileage may vary; however, I suspect most adult men with even middle class genes will smoke, hot, cold, day, night, and even in front of their mommy or wife.

I smoke outside and live in south Ga . Usually around 5:00 every afternoon.

Unfortunately for me it's outside only. I hate summer the most. Hot and humid is the worst. In winter a long sleeve shirt, down vest and a hat is all I need. Whatever hand is not holding the stick stays in the pocket. Though I will say Robustos and Nubs tend to rule the winter.

Propane. Get the one at Costco, goes on sale every year for about $10-20 off regular price.

Sweet! Thank you.

I have the tall propane one with the ufo on top. I find it doesn’t really do much. Maybe because I’m sitting down and the heat source is up high? I’m going to get the propane tank mounted heat lamp they sell at Home Depot and just point it at me in the winter. It’s low enough to be directly in my face

So on damn near 0° day one of those is enough to keep one comfortable outside?
I don't mind the cold and can tolerate pretty low, but im not opposed to a little comfort.

I think you need to turn it up. Do you have it at maximum? Mine sounds like the same one but more output. I got mine from an auction at a rental place that went out of business.
