For all you outdoor pipers... It's cold outside and I want to have a pipe right now, but I can't be arsed going outside to have one.
I'm these situations, the weather normally wins and I go without. I have a garage I can smoke in, but I still can't be bothered going in there.
Who wins when you would like a pipe but it's cold outside? Would you have your pipe anyway or would you say, 'screw it; I'm staying in the heat'?

The cold is no issue. A good heater and a nice electric hand warmer makes for a happy smoke. Its the summer when its 90+ out with high humidity that gets me.  |

Heat an Ac in my mancave. Sunroom connects my 2 homes unheated but no wind or wet stuff. Heated garage. All bases covered.

The pipe wins, unless the wind is blowing like last night. I toughed it out for a bit, but it was down right cold. I've noticed I take more "trips to the store" than I did when it was hot out  |

weather usually wins, because I don't have a garage option. it's either out in the elements or not at all. i try to manage my cravings by visiting the smoking lounge on Tuesdays.

I can usually bear the weather for a quick pipe, or half a pipe.

I’d much rather enjoy a pipe in below zero weather then in the heat and high humidity of the Summer. For years I traveled and worked in Countries with extremely high temperatures, between 109 and 116 degrees Fahrenheit would not bother me in the least. Now I can not stay outside once the temperature reaches 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I must stay out of direct sunlight.

I have a heater in the garage, or a perfectly good truck witha heater in it.

I'm an inside only pipe smoker but some of my favorite times to enjoy a pipe are the nastiest days outside. It very relaxing to kickback with a bowl when it's snowing, bitter cold or pouring rain and there is nothing to do or nowhere to go.  |

I do the garage. Wife is cool with that. No wind. Jacket required, but I'm cool with that. I have an old laptop out there to watch Netflix, Amazon, or YouTube. I also have a Google Home out there to listen to old time radio, if I don't wanna be distracted by a screen. I'll get a heater at some point. We had pipe night at McWiggins garage last Saturday (it was in the high 20s F), and his propane heater was just the thing. |

When it is too cold, the mobile smoking lounge is put in service. Heated leather seats and moon roof; perfect!

I will agree that high humidity and heat prevent me sometimes but we usually just up the cold beverage intake to help out. My brother in law has a built in chair in his pool and that was my cigar spot last summer this year I’ll enjoy a cob in the pool..

I have to run a lot of errands on foot, and I'll squeeze in a smoke on my way to my destination, but I'm not going to suffer the cold.
Fish'n'Banjo is made of tougher stuff than I am.

For me, it doesn’t become a consideration till temps get below 0F. And, I’ve been out smoking when it was - 8F.
(- 22C for you Celsius guys. )

Better ask the dog about that one...may prefer to have a sweater on...I know ours does. She is a bit of a sissy, but then again, so am I. We're both old and don't need pneumonia...so sweater it is for both of us. |

Years ago, I came to the pipe as a long time cigar smoker. I wanted something I could smoke inside during the coldest winter days, without complaints from other family members. (For some strange reason they didn’t appreciate the aroma of a fine cigar.)
So, if it gets real bad I’m coming inside ! That would likely take negative double digit temps ( - 10F ). I prefer being outdoors & observing what nature is up to as I smoke my pipe.

Don't have that problem as I've always smoked inside over the last 40+ years. But then I've lived a "singular" life the past 18 years !
