Smoking outside

I do enjoy it and with my heater as its making the colder weather easier but I hope to one day have an indoor option. The hope is one day my own office/study with an air cleaner. Come summer its just too hot and humid to enjoy.

As I understand it, your climate is more to my liking.
Your tobacco restrictions on the other hand are not. lol

I enjoy the outdoors anyway. If I smoked my pipe inside I dont think I'd ever be seen without one in hand.

This cooler weather has slowed things down, but it wont stop me. I've been waiting on this weather for a long time.

ideal conditions are outdoors in front of a patio firepit, watching the stars. another acceptable situation is outside in cool weather reading a book. neither happen all that often, so I go to the smoking lounge on Tuesdays. smoking inside isn't al that ideal.

You get caught smoking indoors you’ll soon find yourself in a coffin.

This is going to sound weird, but I don’t like my “second hand smoke”.  It irritates my sinuses.  An occasional retro breathe (or whatever) is okay, but indoors I’m constantly rebreathing my smoke.  I like a nice fresh breeze outdoors.  

nothing wrong with that!

Aside from Az Pipe Club meetings, I smoke outside. We’re blessed with perfect weather this time of year, not so great during summer though.

Good man James ^^^^^^👌👍👍👍

Outdoors, indoors it doesn't matter I'm lucky to be able to smoke inside when it's cold but I will also smoke outside when it's cold I'll smoke in the shop next to a mop while growing a crop it doesn't matter to me

I usually smoke outdoors. As a cigar smoker I actually took up pipes so I could smoke indoors during the worst winter weather. For some strange reason, the rest of the family doesn’t appreciate the aroma of a fine cigar as much as I do.
(While I enjoy both cigars & pipes, if I were restricted to choosing just one - now I’d choose the pipe.)

I have a nice back porch I like to smoke in the nice months, especially fall. Seems like we went from summer to cold with very little fall weather time. I have a good wife, I can smoke in the house. Sitting next to a fire, jazz, Christmas tree and a book is sublime.

My fishing trip to Cape Lookout was another surreal smoking sensation. It was a clear night and milky way was as bright as be from horizon to horizon. About 3 am, trying to fish high tide, two points of light started emerge on the horizon. It got bigger and bigger and looked like devil horns. I thought maybe the Great Cthulhu was about to wake from his dead slumber. Turned out it was a crescent moon. I was smoking P.S. Luxury Twist in Savinelli 616. Man I love doing that camping trip each year to catch Red Drum

I dunno. I like the smell of pipe smoke. Depending on the blend. And the smell of a great cigar BTW.

The other day I was smoking some CULT Abacus and when dumping some ash the still burning ember fell out of the pipe into the ashtray. And it kept burning, This beautiful, wonderful smelling stream heading up to the ceiling. It is the perfect potpourri.


What I like about smoking outdoors is the sociability aspect. Neighbors, joggers, dog walkers etc., wave and stop by for a little chit chat.

Its best to smoke a churchwarden in this respect. For some reason I look less threatening with a churchwarden.

My neighbor across the street (now since passed) was a musician and when i was on the porch with my pipe she would come over and we would play some music. Often others would stop just to stand around and listen.

When the weather is right, outside is by far superior. But now that it is the cold weather months and my outdoor smoking spot is my little 5th floor balcony off the waters of NYC, too cold, too windy and it's almost impossible to enjoy a pipe out there. I have been making treks to the local cigar bars for an evening bowl or two when I can. It is a luxury to smoke indoors comfortably when the weather outside is so unpleasant.
