Anyone else subjected to only smoking outdoors like me??
No smoking allowed in the house, so I hvae to sit outside for hour or two at a time to "enjoy" a bowl sometimes. Some days it can be quite frustrating a i just want to kick my feet up and watch some tv. Usually when in the back yard i'll bring my laptop to surf and watch a movie, but it's getting colder and colder at night.
I can usually smoke in my car when the weather really turn sour, but it's still not the same as sitting on the la-zboy, couch or bed.
Unfortunately, this makes me smoke considerably less than i would like to. I can usually get a few bowls in a week.
Anyone else in the same boat??

garage is full of boxes, we are in the middle of seling the house. Plus, the smoke still manages to creep in the house.
I tried using a heater in the back shed, but it failed miserably. And to set everything up every time is a pain in the rear.

Yup, I'm stuck outside too. As long as it's not raining, or too windy I don't mind.

I am an outdoor smoker. The wife hates the smell. I haven't been at it for very long so I will have to see how it goes when the temps dip. Fire pit isn't practical for me so I am going to have to brave the cold in some other way.

Outdoor smoker here. I usually don't smoke in the dead of winter because -10°F plus 20MPH wind doesn't make for a nice smoke.

I am also banished to the outdoors. I smoke when I drive to and from work. That helps a little bit. I will regretfully pass on the snuggies though Tony.

I too am relegated to the good ole' outdoors. Right now however, I'm testing out an air purifier to see if I can smoke indoors with it on full blast and not notice the tobacco smell. It's going pretty successfully right now.

Omg snuggies. Best idea ever.
Old Cajun can have pockets sewn into his like he does with his chonies.
Yeah, I've recently wondered about giving my garage a rough Makeover so I can smoke in it when the weather turns.

The fall is a nice time to have a walk with a good briar (covered, of course) but Winter? God, that's rough. I don't want to go all 'John Wayne' but I think I'd flip out if someone banished me to the backyard. I mean really, especially a pipe! There's so many good blends out there, too. That's one of the nice things about a pipe. Sometimes even one of the 'nanny' types will ask me, sort of 'embarrassed like', 'excuse me, but what is that blend you're smoking?' I tell them and ask 'See? Not so bad, is it?'

I only smoke outdoors. Sometimes I sit on the back porch late in the evening, enjoy the stars, and listen to the sounds of the woods while I enjoy a pipe. Or I sit in the porch and watch a oldies movie or TV program while I smoke.

I smoke out doors also. On week ends I bring out the iPad and watch a show or movie on Netflix and smoke a bowl. It is not so bad no one bothers me and after a full day the peace and quiet is rather nice. Some times I walk the dog and he never complains about what blend I am smoking. He is good company to tell you the truth.

Yup, outdoor smoker here. My girlfriend is an ex cigarette smoker, and while she (bemusedly) accepts my late in life pipe smoking habit, she's asked that I smoke outdoors. I live in the middle of Canada, so that means very little to no smoking from November to March, except for those rare warm days where there's no wind and it's above -5 (~20F).
If we get a winter like last year, that'll mean once a week, but that's unrealistic :)
I just take a good book or magazine down with me and smoke on the porch. Or sometimes just sit and watch the neighbourhood roll by.

glad to hear i'm not the only one!!
I think im going to try a few different set ups in my beater car. Somehow have my laptop set up off my lap so i can comfortably watch a flick and smoke a bowl.

Not an issue smoking outside here in Texas. I often don't smoke on those 105+ days though. If I lived where there was actual winter, I'd have to insist on comandeering the garage or renovating an outbuilding.

It doesn't get THAT cold here in south Bend, I just need something to keep the damn wind off me.
Maybe I'll smoke in the kids play house. I could use the slide when I'm finished.

I smoke solely outdoors by choice. In the winter, smaller pipes and less smoking, or go to the car. The garage space, if we get it this year, is shared with the other residents, so I'm not going to be an ass and turn it into my lounge.

I do most of my smoking outside, but I am sort of lucky There is a Cigar bar (Jake's Cigars Omaha, NE) 6 blocks away with an outstanding selection of Whisky and Ale not to mention that they Stock Dunhill EMP and Nightcap.
