Do You Smoke More Or Less In Fall And Winter?

[marconi]

As an outside smoker I smoke less in the winter but I smoke it much faster!

 

[Jack T]

I smoke only in the Fall and Winter. I tend not to smoke when it gets hot outside.

 

[python]

I smoke the same amount all year long.

 

[JohnnyAZ]

I tend to smoke about the same all year, the weather here in S. Az is temperate enough to allow all 4 seasons of outdoor smoking. I do like to smoke my latakia blends in the fall and winter though.

Less in the summer because I also tend to smoke more cigars in the summer.

The last few (outside, cold) bowls have been underwhelming, with the exception of one bowl of Petehill 965. The rest were blends without Latakia and I couldn’t get good flavour out of them in a cold garage.

I think I’m not going to bother with the pipes during the winter. Or maybe I’ll just try heavier Latakia blends and forego a pipe when that’s not my mood.

just a little more this fall. usually a bowl a day, but noticed it's a bowl and a half or two now.

I think I’m not going to bother with the pipes during the winter.

That would be like me saying "I don't think I'll breathe till spring". Not gonna happen in the years I have left...

I don't normally think of it, but maybe I do smoke a little more in the cooler months.

Everywhere I have lived before, with the exception of Vegas, has had the same answer. More in fall, less in winter, more in summer. Why no spring? It doesn't really exist in most of those places.

Now however, I live in India and the answer is...I rarely smoke anymore. It's just too blasted hot. When it gets down to 72° F it's monsoon. The rest of the year it rarely drops below 80° F and the humidity sucks for pipe smoking.

Maybe I'll change my mind someday if I can get used to the heat but the only times I'll get to smoke is when I go back home for the summers or go one holiday in a less toasty climate.
