I Don't Smoke in Warm Weather. You?

Where do you live?

Last 4 years central FL, the 37 before that in the mountains of NC.

Holy moly! That is such a huge change!

To me, setting on a hot beach, hot chicks with swimsuits so small that I can tell their natural hair color, sweat rolling down my back, firing up a bowl of Key Largo, watching the b00bies bounce as a team of girls start up a beach volleyball game... pure heaven... then Mrs Cosmic calls me to find out what is taking me so long getting the truck loaded.

If you were Walter Mitty, you could do the same sitting in your easy chair, or while driving.....

I smoke all year round . . . The 3-car smoking den is usually anywhere between 40F and 85F depending on the time of year.

I smoke the same amount day in, day out. Never understood how weather would affect my desire to smoke or the type of blend I would choose. I would guess most people who alter their smoking routine due to weather are one bowl or less per day type smokers.

Smoking in warm weather is ok as long so you have some shade…

Even with our crazy MI humidity? That’s what gets me more than the pure heat.

You are right about that!

Drought and fire hazard is more the issue than the temperature for me in the summertime. The fewer ignition sources, the better. I don’t even like mowing the grass when it gets really dry for fear of sparking and catching things on fire.

I smoke my pipes throughout the year. As the weather warms, I find myself smoking more Burley blends and really like Virginia blends with some Orientals. A favorite is Temple Bar. I have a nice stock of Izmir put away to use to add to VABur blends. I also have some of C&D cigar leaf that is a nice blend enhancer for the warm weather.

I can smoke year around outside, the average swings from around 10°C to 25°C with not a lot of humidity. On one hand I dont mind smoking outside, I have a deskjob where im already inside 40 hrs a week. On the other hand smoking inside would be nice with a comfy chair.

Edit: my choice of tobacco stays the same during the year, with warmer weather I would grab a cigar more.

I smoke inside most of the time. I had a whole house fan installed in my home office. I close the door and the HVAC vent, open the window and fire it up. It works great winter or summer, and no lingering smell in the office or the rest of the house (which is my preference, i.e., that is me doing whatever I want in my own house). But if I am outside in the dog days of summer, I generally find that a pipe and high humidity don’t go well together for me. That’s what cigars are for

Wind is a much bigger determinant of my smoking pleasure than temperature. I can happily smoke between about 0 and 110°F if it's still outside.
