I Don't Smoke in Warm Weather. You?

Title edited for caps. Please see rule 9.

I live in the Pacific Northwest. Smoking my pipes has always been a cool weather activity for me. Moving to the tropics years ago is why I quit... just too warm. Back home these last few years and starting to dabble again.

I most certainly smoke less in the warmer months and I really enjoy warm beverages when smoking my pipes which is hand in glove with cooler weather too.

It is brutal with humidity+tobacco and getting that perfect balance of moisture just right in Summer months ( I tend to shift to lighter Vs and flake when above 85F + 80% humidity ).

There is nothing like waking up to -15F outside and enjoying a warm / smoking bowl of your favorite blends while trying to not have the stem freeze to lip - Always a great adventure in tobacco pipe smoking

Not me, I smoke all year around. Catch me with a pipe cigarette or cigar in the pool lol.

I can do warm, but I can not do Humid. Even the driest tobacco can gurgle in 100% humidity.

I love to smoke in warm, humid weather. Cigars.

I smoke more in the summer. As an outside smoker, it can be too cold for a 30+ minute session.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Heavy smoker year round.

I never smoke when it's freezing. I like crisp though.

But in the summer, it's so humid where I live that I only smoke at night. Pipe tobacco is a great companion for an insomniac.

I find it more pleasant to smoke cigars during the hot season. Also virginia pipe tobacco, which is sweeter and "fresh fruity" but I find it more uncomfortable with English blends or with a lot of latakia.

I still drink hot black coffee on the porch while smoking my pipe when it's 90°+F and 50-80% RH. You get used to it. That's the weather 9 months of the year. It was 77° the other day, in January. Two or three months of the year regularly see the heat index over 110° and a few times will get to 120-125°.

If I let the miserably humid heat stop me, I'd only be active 2 months of the year.

Just wear cotton clothes, switch to more burleys, and put corn starch on your boo hole.

Smoke a pipe all year round. I don’t smoke English or Latakia blends often. And Virginias, VaPers & Burley blends are favored in Spring & Summer months for me. I’ll smoke a cigar more often in the warmer months, especially on the ️ course. ️

I smoke year round but tend to smoke more when it's warmer. That's because I don't smoke in the house and I'm outside until the sun goes down gardening and just doing stuff.

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

Average number of bowls spring, summer and fall far outpaces my once or twice a week in the garage in winter.

The weather doesn't affect my smoking much unless it is extreme, hot or cold.

 

[Kobold]

I smoke year round and these days I prefer the heat.

 

[makhorkasmoker]

Living in Florida, I often smoke in heat and humidity. A cob and a simple dark burley smoke well under almost any conditions

 

[ssjones]

I live for warm weather. Winter curtails my pipe smoking considerably, even though I have a comfortable workshop to use out of the weather. I love being on our patio, in shorts, t-shirt and no shoes.

 

[Bullmoose]

I smoke year round, although its harder for me to smoke in the winter months because I refuse to bundle up and sit out in the freezing cold weather to smoke. That's just enjoyable for me. I'm going to solve that problem this year by my garage remodel - building new work benches, shelves and hanging a gas heater from my ceiling so I can have a place to perch myself and smoke when the freezing weather arrives here.

Smoking in the hot summer months doesn't bother me though - I just gravitate towards bright Virginias and VaPers, whereas in the autumn/winter months I go more for dark fired burley and latakia.

 

[Bright Orange Red]

I smoke pretty much equally year round. I might smoke slightly less latakia in the summer months but still smoke it when in the mountains camping or if the mood strikes. Temperature has never been much of a factor for if I smoke or not and it's not humid here.
