Jnaube Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Minus 33 degrees today in Québec... So I told myself, what better weather to light a good cuban. Open the Humis, picked a Partagas Serie C no 3, EL 2012, yeah I know, some purist might say it's a waste of a good cigar but, what the heck,you only live once. So I dressed accordingly and got outside because, when you need your fix, you need your fix. All in all, cigar smoked extremely well. in fact I think that this cigar might be the steal of the 2012EL's. classic Partagas taste, earthy, pepper, leather. A great cigar that burntevenly for about 45 minutes, even if the weather outside was freezing. So, what's your extreme weather annecdote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finecigar Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Wish I had that kind of courage. I have asthma and going outside to smoke in these frigid temps lately really gets me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGC Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I don't know how you do it. When I smoke in the extreme cold, I usually can't taste much. My sinuses tend to close up, and my nose starts running. I start pushing more smoke out of the nasal passages to get more flavor... and my sinuses get worse. Not a pretty picture.

stogiecidal Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Wow with the recent cold streak here in Montreal I've been hiding indoors as much as possible...you're hardcore! I run to the garage and fire up the heater.... Movie nights in the winter man cave rocks! Personally I've smoked outdoors the past 3 years in Toronto either in my garage or on my balcony with no issues. My first Montreal winter in 10 years and I'll pass on smoking outdoors the weather here is on a whole 'nother level....i text Riaz and head to Stogies now.

rckymtn22 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I wouldn't even attempt that out here. Usually when it is that cold it is dry so the cigar would split and not much fun to smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drguano Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 It is -19 C now heading for -26. My smoking is done outside and on hold until the temp is at least 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Crack open a couple of windows in the living room, fire in the fireplace and go for it with a bev. Fabreeze after. Somehow, no smoke smell in the house and warm as toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcedCanuck Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I hear ya bro, a man's has to do what a man has to do! Cigar lounge and my winter beater became my winter smoking spots this year. On weekends I put on the snow pants, sweater, hoodie, winter jacket, winter gloves, winter boots, and will brave the tundra for a short stick. Sometimes I cave an burn one in the apartment but I try not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcedCanuck Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 On your way to the hospital Phil? lol, not any time soon I hope! Just driving around the area I live in with the heat blasting. It is good to know in case of an emergency the hospital is not too far away though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajgagnon Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Pics above are of a PL Montecarlo enjoyed last year about this time. I also resort to the old Toyota beater to enjoy a cigar in this weather (can't enjoy indoors). My real winter story though is about growing up in the Northwest Territories of Canada, where my dad used to keep a winter tent set up with a pot belly stove, and always kept a bottle of rum in the indoor snowbank. Left it there while away in case of visitors. Sometimes he mixed it with Coke, which would freeze to mush, depending on the mix. Dad's the one who introduced me to this great world of Cuban cigars... or maybe we discovered it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
