No worries on the temp. I received an order last year when it was -10 and everybody told me not to worry about it. I was more worried about your bomb getting a little dry. Let them rest a while and they'll be fine.youngryan216:And brother CharlieHeis tried to bomb me at my old address over a week ago. They have my forwarding addy but, I have a feeling I'm gonna get some cigarcicles forwarded here in a few days lol -
I once smoked outside at work when it was -17 degrees out. Had to be out there working so I figured I should make the best of it.

If it makes you feel better half way into the cigar I went and put on my bunker pants.jgibv:
You are crazy bro. If the temp gets below 40 you bet your a$$ I'm throwing on a coat and gloves! And shorts when it's 39!! NO WAY!!!!FireRob:So here I am sitting on the back patio at work smoking a Camacho Ditka 89 and it's 39* and fairly windy. I am in work out shorts a T-shirt and a light jacket. I am half way through the cigar and I'll admit my legs and hands are getting a bit on the cold side.
At what temp do you draw the line for outside smokes?
Normally when its really cold, if I am at home, I have a wood shop to smoke in, and if a guy wasn't working out/exercising I would have been in the truck room when I posted this. Actually I usually don't smoke a cigar at work with out the other guys but I was the only one in the mood, so out side in the cold I went. It was chilly, I admit but wasn't miserable. -
Been some big debates on what's needed. Ask Kuzi and Catfish about their differing opinions. Me personally, I throw them in the freezer for a weekish give or take then a dayish or two (sometimes longer if I forget) in the fridge.youngryan216:Good info. How long do you generally freeze new sticks before the beetles (if any) perish? Might start doing that myself. -
Got a 40-degree rule. Under 40 is not good for me or the cigars. I bend the rule on the rare evening, maybe once a year, when we get a little snow. Like to go out for a smoke, take off my hat and feel the falling snow.

Apparently 25 is doable for me since I just smoked an AF short story. Thankfully it isn't windy and probably won't do it all the time but since I'm at work I had nothing better to do LOL

For me it depends on the situation. If I don't think I'm going to enjoy the cigar I'll pass at any temperature. When I'm winter camping and outside 24hrs a day for several days in a row without a campfire all of a sudden smoking a big cigar in very cold temperatures doesn't seem that unusual. After a long day and a bunch of us herf while sitting in a shoveled seat in a snowbank in the woods surrounded by our hiking and skiing gear it's phenomenal regardless of the temperature. I've enjoyed churchills like that.

If it's not windy, I enjoy smoking in the cold. 30's and snowy is nice. But when I'm not up for it, I'll smoke inside. It recently got cold here, down in teens is a little low for me.
-
I don't care for the temperature. If it's not comfortable to relax and smoke the cigar I won't smoke. It can be too hot or too cold...

It's 26° here, but the dealbreaker is the blowing, wet snow. It was blowing under the awning all day so that kills it for me.
-
To me if I cannot enjoy it comfortably (that is a relative term) then it's too cold. Now I don't mean comfortable as in shorts and a t shirt but when the fingers start freezing up even with the firepit going, I am out. I have come to realize that I am not even going to attempt a cigar unless I know I will be able to enjoy it. I smoke for enjoyment. I have cigs for the addiction.

Electric? Gas? Infrared? Regardless it looks nice. Does it work pretty well?Rain:

Electric. Supposedly maxes out at 90F, but I don't need it that high. Have not really tested it yet as it's been low 50s and high 70s all week.
