Tips For Smoking Outside In The Winter?

Well, Mobile is a lot wetter than Jersey, so maybe your sticks are damper on the surface due to environmental reason. So if you are truly "mobile", move to Minnesota.

Thanks, But It's "Way" Too Cold Up There!

Layers upon layers. Take care of the extremities. They cool down the fastest. Expect the wrapper to crack. Just part of the deal. Shorter smokes for sure. Smaller ring gauges as well. Pick your moments. If you can sit where the sun is shining, makes a big difference. A white wall behind you will radiate back some heat.
January and February are the most brutal months.

Just got done smoking a Kristoff Maddie in the garage and had the same problem with the wrapper splitting. When I first started it wasn't too bad out there but than my wife was nice enough to open the garage door for 10 minutes while she got ready to take the dogs for their walk and it went from not so bad to F'in cold. That's about the same time the wrapper took off on me. (Thanks sweetie!

) Ahh well, the smoke had to be smoked as I have been eye balling that stick since I bought right before Christmas. Hoping it warms up a bit next week like they are saying it should as smoking in 50 degree weather will be much more enjoyable than 30. Before tonight it was probably 2 weeks since my last smoke due to this damn weather. If this cold weather keeps up it looks like I'll be digging the Pepin Perlas and LFD Carajos from the back of the humi.

My solution is a bit unorthodox.

I own two Corvairs. Both are 1962 sedans. One is an Arizona car that is currently undergoing a full restoration, and the other, the white car pictured above, is a beat up summer driver, with terminal rust issues in every place that counts (lifetime Northeast Ohio car-road salt is evil stuff). The beater has become my winter smoking space. I ran an extension cord in through the window, removed the carpets so they wouldn't get stinky, hooked up a small space heater, and wallah.. instant heated smoking room. I sit in the drivers seat, and placed a sheet of thin plywood over the passenger's seat, which has become the table for my ashtray, reading lamp, and beverage. I open the garage door about half way to vent the smoke, and leave the car's windows cracked to let fresh air in.
The vinyl seats and dash pad dont pick up the smell, and once spring time comes around a quick wipe with a soapy rag takes away any traces of smoke smell that may be lingering. I've been doing this for two years. It's pretty much become my go-to space for getting my college readings done, most recently being Plato's Republic.
