    Just curious, my fellow Brothers and Sisters Of The Leaf: in your experience, what has been some of the worst conditions to ever smoke a cigar? Weather-wise and other-wise. Right now, we have a massive blanket of wildfire smoke across the entire metropolitan area. The smell of burning wood is...

    As the chilly fall weather sets in here in the east , the temp on my humidor has been dropping to the low to mid 60's... The humidity still stands at a fair 65. I use the heartfelt beads and have been very pleased... I have been adding a little more water than usual and added a xikar 72'...

    With the "What are you smoking" thread growing, I thought it would be fun to know what is the weather while you are smoking. For my first cigar of the day it was 82 degrees and 82% RH. Now for my second cigar it is almost 95 degrees whith a 50% RH.

    I recently bought the Ambient Weather WS-0101-COMBO-KIT kit which is basically their WS-0101 wireless weather station with three remote temp/hygrometers included. It's a no-frills receiver, basically just gives you time and temp, then you can cycle through the three remote receivers to get...

    Hey everyone, I'm just curious...if you could choose the exact conditions outside what would your ideal be for smoking? I was having an Illusione Epernay outside here in central NY last night and it was just about perfect. I like it on the cooler side but not cold. It was in the mid-60s with...

    It's been a hot a humid summer here in IL. I've found myself reaching for shorter smokes, Im having an aged AF petit corona now at 11:35pm and the real feel is 91 degrees and the humidity feels like at 1000%!!! I choose to smoke outdoors because I don't gave adequate ventilation indoors. This...

    Since it's 106 degrees and I'm suffering from a serious case of swamp ass, I'm trying to think about the cold and what I'm gonna do this winter when it's -106 out. The thread I saw about whether people smoke in their houses or not got me to thinking - where do you all smoke during the winter...

    We in Missouri have been getting pounded by nasty storms over the last month. Today has been another day of crazy weather, with a nasty hail storm hitting about 30 minutes ago. Here are some pictures from that... We're looking at 3-4 more hours of this tonight...

Midnight came a light rain began and as the night went on the rain began to increase harder and harder. As I woke Sunday morning the...

    Anyone familiar with the Weather Warrior Series by Savage? Looking at the 270 for deer hunting. I've long been a Savage Fan and looking to replace the model 116 I have in the 7mm Mag. Also thought about the Leupold VX-3 on top of it. Any ideas or comments?

    So here in New England its finally starting to get warmer, but also more humid. This will be my first spring/summer with a much larger stash of smokes in my humidor, plus some misc Tupperdors. I opened my humi this am, and noticed it at perfect 65% RH, (KITTY LITTER ROCKS !!!! ) But 74 Temp. I...

    is it just me or when it's really cold do butane lighters have trouble lighting? Both my Lotus triple flame and my Xikar Exudus soft flame suck when it gets cold out. thay don't light easily and when they do the flame is pathetic.

    It's the disappointment that's getting me down. Late last week, they forecast almost 50F for today -- it's going to be 37. A few days back, they said we'd get 2 inches of snow -- we got 7. Yesterday, they said we'd get a ton of rain, which would have gotten rid of a lot of this white crap and...

    Does burning cigars in the (very) cold weather create more tar? I've noticed that a lot of cigars I smoke ouside lately tend to produce much more brown tar juice, which I have to wipe off every few puffs or it will drip on my tongue. These same cigars smoke fine in a car or indoors, so I...

    What do you guys like to smoke when it starts snowing? Yes, I know exploding cigars and cracks are always a risk, but I really haven't had anything happen to the point where my cigars are unsmokeable outside. I found that a lot of the milder, CT-wrapped cigars seem to gain flavor and taste...

    It reached 60 degrees here in Oklahoma today! It was 7 degrees two nights ago and a high of 36 tomorrow. I spent the whole day outside and for the first time in months got to actually take my time and enjoy a cigar without trying to rush because I was freezing! Topped it off this afternoon with...

    As the temperature drops I've moved my smoking indoors. I usually like to sit by an open window with a fan going to help get rid of the cigar smoke. Yesterday while smoking a CAO gold robusto the cigar started tunnelling on me when I was about half way through it. Now it was about -16C...
