NMJoe Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Hi everyone, Since joining the forum just a few days ago, I have done a fair amount of reading through new and old topics, and one thing that caught my attention was the number of photos I came across where the poster appears to be smoking inside a house. Obviously, I don't know the context of the picture, so for all I know it could be similar to a crack house, only this one is for cigar smokers who appoint their abandon homes with fine furnishings and have the utilities connected. As for me, I have only smoked in my own house when I was a bachelor, but I did have a room dedicated to it, too. I guess I hadn't given it much thought until today, and now I'm curious how many of you do smoke in your own home? If you do, under what conditions, i.e., only one room, throughout the house, only with windows open, etc.? I'm recently married with a little step-daughter that has respiratory problems, so no cigars are lit in my place, but she's worth it (and then some!). Cheers! Joe
Jason Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I smoke in my cigarcar and a retrofitted garden shed. Unless engineered and properly outfitted with ventilation whatever you smoke cigars in is going to smell like ass
Grabo2u2 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Jason, I don't know what kind of cigars you smoke but none of mine have ever smelt like ass! Used to sone in the house in a dedicated room with a ventilation system, but when we downsized and moved south if the temp drops for a few days I simply smoke in the garage
BradNC Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I've outfitted our 3rd car garage with heaters/air-conditioning and air filtration plus an ozone machine. Works great for me.
cigcars Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I do. My house. Visitors can disappear into one of the other "smoke free" rooms.
mazolaman Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I do. My house. Visitors can disappear into one of the other "smoke free" rooms. Me too. I tend to go into the conservatory, where it makes for a nicer smoke anyway.
Rushman Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 99% of the time I smoke outside on the front stoop of our smoke shop in playa del carmen. 1% of the time, during parties and such, I will enjoy a smoke in our place. Granted its an apartment and with the weather here the windows are always open. If I was back home in the good ole USA, it would be 75% B&M, 15% golf course or other outdoor activities and 10% in the garage while toolin on the motorcycles and such. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=20.631676,-87.070675
aes8 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Never inside my house - no exceptions. ^^^^ This
sharks Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Another one here....Always outside never in Sharks
laficion Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I smoke inside and anywhere in the house but of course I use commun sense and don't stink up the house by puffing away like a madman, there's a place and time for everything. I have a smoking room in the house where I can relaxe when I want to meditate or listen to some music. The cigar room is ventilated by an air filter and fitted with an ozone option,for the rest of the house I use an air cleaner ( lampe Berger) and it works fine. In 40 years, my wife has never complained about my cigar smoking or where I smoke, for me, it's just a question of when,where & how.
Guest Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 always outside, my wife cant stand the smell always says smells like old leather boots.
anacostiakat Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I smoke in my house. In my living room where the big tv and comfy furniture are. Not anywhere else. I like to relax in the evenings. I run a room air filter and like to burn a scented candle. The key is removing the dead soldiers after you have smoked. Oh and Fabreeze can help as well. I understand ozone is another option but have never used it. The windows of opportunity here for smoking outside are not large due to the wind/cold in the winter and the heat and bugs in the summer months.
Dbone Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 For sake of my wife and kids, I take it outside. I enjoy the fresh air too.
riazp Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Outside or at the one the cigar bars in montreal. My wife tells me she does not mind if i wanted to smoke indoors next to our balcony door but I dont want to for the sake of my son.
CigarB Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 During warmer months I'm out on the patio, during winter I'm in the garage with the door cracked. However, the best indoor venue in the area seems to be dimly lit, music playing, and women dancing around
canadianbeaver Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 In the winter Matthew and I smoke in the living room (city) or dining room (cottage) where we can open up lots of windows and blow the offending smoke away. Then I Fabreeze bomb and keep the windows open for a while afterwards. No one ever says our house smells like cigars and we have visitors for dinner all the time. This is only in the winter when outside looks like this: LOL

NMJoe Posted January 14, 2012 Author Posted January 14, 2012 Interesting to hear everyone's style; thanks for sharing. We are currently saving for a larger home since we have grown into one, larger family in the last month. I hope I can swing a hobby room for me and my vices. Joe
kaleehb Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 For sake of my wife and kids, I take it outside. I enjoy the fresh air too. +1 I have two little one's that I don't want to subject to the smoke. However, when it was just my wife and me I used to smoke in the house wherever I wanted, she didn't mind. Winter just makes for a smaller opportunity to enjoy the hobby.
