During all the wildfires that blanketed the continent this summer I realized I had absolutely no desire to smoke a pipe while the air was already thick with smoke.
Half the appeal of pipe smoke is the contrast with clean fresh air (at least for me who only smokes outside).
If I were ever to smoke indoors I would be meticulous about extracting the smoke because a room that smells like smoke would be less enjoyable to smoke in.

I’m super Jealous of guys who’s wives let them smoke inside the house…There is NO WAY my wife is letting me do that…she would loose her mind…not a issue for me really as I smoke in the Gazebo but the issue is that I live in Manitoba Canada where it can regularly get to -40F/C so in the Winter I smoke in my insulated garage with a ice fishing heater going…

Hey Buddy. Perhaps work out an angle and you might get a small win. My wife is someone who would 100% not allow any smoke in the house, and as a person she is a real worrier….always worrying and being careful. I got kinda sick of sitting in my cold garage and noticed that she was quite keen on an expensive pedigree cat that was for sale. I offered to get her the cat in return for me putting a sealed door on my small office and being able to smoke in there. Long story short after her initial bad reaction (like really bad) she came around to it and agreed. Home and hosed! Good luck bro!

I only smoke outside, out of respect for my wife who is ill. I usually wear a flannel shirt if it's cool and take it off when I come in.

While generally not as bad as cigarette smoke, pipe smoke will cling to your clothing. Years ago in one of the smoke shops I had a customer who smoked Condor. Every time he came in to the store, the entire room, about 400 ft, smelled like stale Condor!
There was speculation among myself and other employees as to just exactly which part of the condor he was smoking!

Strictly an outside smoker. Since I live in Southern California where it seldom gets very cold, I smoke in the backyard (as does my wife, who smokes her cigarettes in the back yard). On those rare occasions when it rains, I smoke in the garage. Fortunately, my two pussies (see my avatar) don't smoke. :)

I find fire retardant works great. Just seal all the seams in the room. A hammer and chisel will allow you to get the door open.
