Last night I loaded up my LB gray ghost straight bulldog with a bowl of 8 year old F&T Special Brown Flake and took a glass or Port out to the deck. It was freezing and I only made it through about a third of the bowl before I tapped it out and took my shivering butt back inside. Then when I woke this morning, there was a heavy frost on everything and it was still below freezing. Not much to be done about it for sure but the reality is setting in and to be honest, I don't really wish to return to my non pipe smoking ways this winter like I have done in winters past. My one thought is to start using my garage to smoke in as it is heated. The only issue with this is that my wife has put up with my increased pipe smoking fairly well, considering she more or less hates the smell. I have been brain storming ways to help the situation. I have though of HEPA filters, Lampe Berger... heck, I've even thought about constructing a positive pressure hot room out of Visqueen plastic sheets in the middle of the room. Thoughts and ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Although I do enjoy an aro now and again, they serve as a nice break between Va's and English blends. A winter of Molte Dolce just won't cut it.
