Well, technically it is my home office, but all I really need to work is a small desk and a semi-quiet space. The majority of this 12x12x room is dedicated to relaxing, and is properly ventilated for my daily cigar.
The main reason people smoke cigars is for relaxation, it has nothing to do with nicotine addiction. I don’t know about you, but it is not relaxing being out in the wind, rain, cold, or for that matter, any weather that isn’t clear and 70-90 degrees.
During the winter and other unpleasant weather times, I often see pics of cigar buddies in other parts of the country “enjoying” their cigars in the only place allowed to them, the great outdoors. It doesn’t matter if it is a blizzard outside, they are still smoking. I shiver just looking at the pictures, come on at least convert part of a garage, or shed, beach umbrellas? Something!
Anyway, When I first took up cigar smoking, I was determined to be able to smoke in comfort year round. I remember the first year rigging up our shed out back with a light, cable TV, a few chairs, and a propane camping heater. It was actually pretty comfortable, at least better than sitting outside, but it took a while to warm up and I knew I could do better.
So I researched cheap and simple ventilation, a lot of trial and error, and a few tricks allow me to smoke in extreme comfort. The cigar smoke is undetectable not only in the rest of the house, but even in my office just 30 minutes after enjoying cigars with friends. Nobody would believe cigars are smoked here it if they didn’t already know.
A few features of my smoking room include
Heat, ventilation of course, tv, stereo, old school Nintendo, fully stocked fridge, privacy, humidors, comfortable chairs, WiFi, phone/device chargers, and humidors full of cigars.
In a near future blog I will go in detail about my cigar lounge, mostly about the main steps to create cheap but effective ventilation, allowing any cigar lover to smoke in comfort year round.
Please comment and tell me where you currently puff your cigars. Now back to enjoying this evening's cigar!
