Do you have an extra bedroom?

I don't care what you do if you smoke in the house the trained nose will pick it up for a long time. Also if it annoys the family then they are going to be nagging you all the time demanding you give up the pleasure for good....never stops and also while you are creating the cloud it is really not pleasant to others who have to live there. That being said here is the best alternative I have found, unless you have a stiff wind or extreme cold it works very well to keep you comfortable while puffing a while::-)

Damn that's what I was afraid of. Since I rent a part of a 2 family from my friend, smoking indoor looks to be out then. That said, I think I'll venture on the back deck with a heater this winter.

Thanks for the wisdom everyone :-)

Except you Bookman. Bad Bookman.

these things are great, I was skeptical about these things but I was at the country club with my grandparents and they fired up one of these and I couldnt believe how much heat was pouring out of it

If you do decide to smoke inside try these tricks-

*Keep your butts in a sealed container when done (they keep stinkin even when you're done smokin)
*I use a lamb berger http://www.lampeberger.com/ to help reduce the odor
*Buy a small fan to set in the window to allow the smoke to be pulled out

*Remodel your house into a giant smoking lounge like you don't give a phuk? :-)

What he said.

Though when it is the summer and 110+ I sit on my chair that is right next to the door, and leave the door open. If I leave the door open a bit after I am done it doesn't smell so bad afterwards.

I have been in Phoenix in the winter and you guys get some cold nights there, requiring overcoats and everywhere you go, there are gas heaters to keep people warm.

For true year 'round, move to Florida. Very little humidity in the winter and besides, the humidity the rest of the year will help maintain your cigars and not dry them out as in Arizona.:-)

Smoking indoors for me equals guaranteed death sentence from wife, via pan, shoe heel, knife, or whatever else happens to be near her to throw at me.

My ultimate tip.

1) Own your house.
2) Make sure your significant other smokes.
3) Never have people over.
4) Smoke at your leisure!

It can be done. I don't particularly enjoy smoking outdoors unless the conditions are just right. In order of a balance between importance and cost/ease of implementation, here are my suggestions:

1. Ventilation - if the weather allows it, keep doors and windows open. If the weather sucks, at least try to open them occasionally and after you finish.
2. Remove all of your butts and ash immediately after smoking
3. Ceiling Fans - turn 'em on.
4. Lampe Bergers - actually work
5. Febreze - a little goes a long way
6. Air Purifiers/ Filtration Systems, both stand alone and in the HVAC - can get pricey, but pretty good results
7. Have more non-cloth surfaces - odors will permeate cloth; hard surfaces (wood, tile, etc.) and leather are better

I smoke in my house pretty much every day and don't get any complaints. The only complaints I hear are when we have 10-12 guys over smoking cigars and it gets to be a little hazy in there. To combat that issue, I'm having my HVAC guy install a 750 cfm inline variable speed fan to pull smoke out of the area where most of the smoking occurs and vent it to the outdoors.

Can't agree with that one, sorry. :-)

I agree. I've seen these at bars and clubs, and they put out a lot of heat.

Been there, done that! Granted, it wasn't cigar smoke, but if the....smoke...wasn't detected in my dorm back in college, I am sure it would work in a house. Just be careful and don't accidentally inhale...you will never get the "Mountain Breeze" flavor out of your mouth.

I pulled it off once. I normally smoke outside but it gets kinda boring sitting out there by myself and I had a DVD I just bought so instead of bring all the electronics outside..I just went inside lol.

Used 2 fans on a table right shooting out the window. I smoked right next to the fans and had the ashtray on that same table.

After everything was done, I wiped the fans down with clorox wipes and put everything away where they belong.

My mom and gf came home and asked if i was smoking inside the house because they could smell something. I just told them no but I was smoking outside and it was kinda windy so some of the smoke might have flew into the house.

2 words Fire pit. Like camping and smoking a cigar. Nothing beats a little campfire.
[Reply]

Totally agree however I rent this house from a friend and we live in the suburbs :/

When Amy and I get a house, you can guarantee we'll have a fire ring outside.

I think you can easily get away with it every once on a while. The key is to keep the air moving so the cigar smoke doesn't "settle" on any carpet or furniture. This is what causes the smell to stick around. Plenty of ventilation is also important. Don't stamp out your finished butts! this is a big no-no and will increase the stink 5 fold. either immerse the end in some water or let it burn out naturally. If you combine a fan, generous ventilation if possible, and some strong odor neutralizer afterward, you will be fine.

DO NOT use only a small fan and one open window, get caught by your RA, and have to put out a Boli Gold Medal :-)
