Weather Permitting: Cigar Lounge or Cigar patio?

[El Presidente]

What is your preference?

it is a beautiful blue sky  21 C 70F day.  You walk into a new cigar bar. 

Inside it is spacious and air conditioned. Deep leather lounges and all the accoutrements on hand. 

The outside patio is similarly comfortable. There are shaded areas and areas in the sunshine. 

You go to the walk in humidor, pick a cigar, order a drink. 

Where do you head?

That temp? Outside. Always. I save inside for when I need heat. 😁

[Monterey]

I find the smoke from others in an inside setting to negatively impact my ability to enjoy the cigar.  Outside always.

[Vetteman]

Also prefer outdoors whenever possible

[Islandboy]

I think it’s safe to say you all know where I’m at on this, lol.

[Nocoins]

I always smoke outside, which means I miss a bunch of months loving where I do now. But when it’s over 55 or so, I have always found that I like the flavor of smoking tobacco better outside than in. 

[HailState]

Can’t beat smoking a cigar outside. 

[cigaraholic]

May I read the rooms first🌈

[Ford2112]

I prefer to avoid most people...outside lol

[rcarlson]

Cigars taste better outside.  

[Dr vonPuffenberg]

For me, the deciding factor is the wind. I strongly prefer outdoor smoking but if the wind is too strong, I’ll head indoors.

[Sir Diggamus]

I definitely prefer smoking outside.

At 21 C I would go outside provided i can be under the sun and no wind.

Outside my preference. If too humid and the cigar is larger than 42 ring and hasn't been dry boxed then I'd probably smoke inside. I find I'm always having to relight in humid or rainy days and then have to smoke too fast and the flavours become bitter unfortunately. Probably why I enjoyed custom lanceros the most in Havana and not the wider ring gauges. Wind also plays a part for me, but not as much as humidity. Can usually find a spot with a wind barrier, even if the view isn't as great. Although, not much better than an outside view of the ocean where you can hear the waves breaking, insects and birds. Bloody heaven!

Chicago weather means 5-6 months per year spent cooped up inside.  If it's over 50F, I'll be outside!

Outside gets the vote because of the ideal conditions specified... But, even when it's pleasantly warm it all depends on the wind. Which means in real life, more often than not my choice will be indoors.

[Çnote]

Outside if at all possible.

[jakebarnes]

Patio. Enjoying the solace of nature ideally with a little sun on me. Similar to what @Chibearsv stated-- summer is meant for maximum outside time to make up for the grey and cold. 

[Puros Y Vino]

Outside is my preference too. They do taste better out there.  Indoors is a cold weather decision.  We don't have that option in Canada (a few places excepted).  Though I will admit, I do love smoking in the various lounges around Havana. There is a real old world ambiance to it.

[Cigar Surgeon]

It's always going to be an outside preference for me. 

[MrBirdman]

I prefer outdoors but the wind needs to be very calm. 

[ha_banos]

Outside - ... so long as its not too windy, not too hot, not too cold, not going to get mugged, not going to get eaten alive, not going to get wet, not too noisy, not too dark, not too busy, not walking around, not going to be distrubed, then outside, yes. For sure.

[Rhinoww]

Outside. 
My covered porch - cigarden of Eden- never closes. Between a “Le smoking” set of insulated bib overalls and porch specific winter coat and heaters it is a rare day that I can’t enjoy a cigar on my porch. Bought my cigar buddy a pair of the insulated bibs as well so I can always find a buddy of I want company. 
very few indoor options here anyway. Fewer with good ventilation- and dare I say I am not a fan of the NC smoke. 

[targa88]

Outside = is predicated on wind. Given the current location the Foothills provide quite the wind build up especially in the afternoon.

There have been some really nice cigar lounges that I have frequented (as alluded by @Puros Y Vino) that add to the experience with their atmosphere and service.

Very few if any locations nearby...

[stogieluver]

@El Presidente, is the wind calm, or is it breezy?  
Calm, I’m outside; otherwise, inside.
