Who Puts his Pipes Away for Winter?

[Rossi320]

I seem to be a spring to fall smoker, I take a break during winter , do a cleaning and store/display them during winter

 

[solideogloria86]

I tend to smoke less in the summer. Pipe smoking really ramps up for me in fall and winter all the way through spring. I also smoke inside, and the ground doesn't usually thaw here until late May/early June. I couldn't imagine not smoking after Thanksgiving dinner, or all through the Christmas season.

 

[Call Me Late]

I’m at the 42nd parallel and I smoke a lot less during the winter but that’s mostly because I don’t smoke in the house. The exception being Christmas week. I’m working on winterizing my back porch so I can extend my “season”.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I smoke constantly all year.

All year 'round....I couldn't imagine not enjoying a bowl of GLP Quiet Nights on a cold winter evening, or enjoying Christmas Spice or 1 of the many C&D Holiday blends during the holidays.

 

[Servant King]

Ditto to the above. I'm also restricted by being exclusively an outdoor smoker, but hell, I absolutely love a good hearty English/Balkan blend anywhere from a chill in the air kind of day to Jesus-my-nuts-have-frozen-to-my-thighs kind of day. Obviously, the latter isn't ideal, but I'm at 5,300 feet and I just can't be too choosy between November and March.

Me? I'm a smoker not a dabbler. I smoke year round and am not dissuaded by the position of the sun in the sky.

I can't smoke indoors and it's a brutal winter so no smoking for me. I just chew and use snuff then

 

[minerLuke]

I smoke all year. My shop where I work is un heated (except couple space heaters) winters here in PNW aren't too harsh but I do usually see at least a month of below freezing Temps, sometimes to zero. My pipe gives me great comfort in the winter. Actually in the heat of summer 90 degrees plus I don't quite enjoy the pipe as much but not that it stops me.

 

[warren]

I chew where smoking is prohibited and when it gets too far below zero. I can dress for the cold so I've been known even at -10 to hunker down beside my camera and stuff a bowl. It's all about what you grew up in and can tolerate I suppose. Wolf skins make for toasty hats, pants, boots, parkas and gloves. Nothing like real fur, thick, to combat the real cold. Even though smoking reduces body warmth. wolf, wolverine and such trap what there is and keep one comfortable. Gotta dress for the weather! That "man-made" so called "cold weather gear" just won't cut if you must spend time in the cold.

I smoke year round. My tobacco preferences do change with outside temperatures.

 

[Akoni808]

I smoke constantly all year.

Me too. Hawaii weather makes it easy.

 

[Sam Gamgee]

I smoke all year, though less in hotter weather, and I also smoke in my house. It’s crazy to think I lived to see a time where a man smoking in his own home is controversial.

 

[dublinpiper90]

Year around for me however I like certain blends with different seasons

 

[Epip Oc'Cabot]

I have enjoyed a pipe outdoors when it has been 110 degrees F (Las Vegas), -30 degrees F (Upper Peninsula of Michigan) and all the temperatures in-between.

This thread's title activated my confuserizer like few things in recent memory.

Putting pipes away when Mars is less than 33 degrees above the horizon for an odd number of minutes when viewed from an even numbered latitude AND the precipitation total for the continental United States was an odd number of inches the day before, of course. Like, duh.

But something completely arbitrary and without cause like the time of year? No way.

 

[Michigan_Bill]

Snow suit.

 

[AcesAndEights]

I smoke year round. Good ol’ heated garage, aka the smoking lounge.

 

[Rossi320]

A pipe for me is something for me to do outdoors, walking, cutting grass, leaf blowing not many activities to do during winter months.i also don't have a man cave

 

[captainsousie]

Yay for the rare smoking lounge
