Today's choice. From last Christmas season, a Viaje Holiday Blend. Terrific Cigar.

No Man Cave for the winter? Perhaps the garage? with a heater, nice stereo system to crank up the heavy rock, and a comfy chair?

Lol, wife took the man cave and turned it into a full room closet. I am out in the cold Brother. I have a 3 car garage and might set up something there.

With the cold I just can't smoke cigars, only option is a La casa del Habano store with luxury lounge in a city nearby where I can smoke inside. That being quite expensive for the occasional cigar I just stick to smoking my pipe which I am allowed to do inside.
There are many wonderful tobacco blends for pipes and they make an excellent alternative.

Strange that the pipe is OK, but the cigar is forbidden.

Cigars smell nice while smoking but the smell stays in the room for a few days and is not nice. When smoking a pipe the room note is lovely as well but it doesn't leave a trashy 'after smell' and is gone after a few hours.

You could always vape. Vaping leaves no odor and has some nice aromas while using it. It is instant on and instant off. I am sure it is not as good as a pipe but a descent alternative in the cold months.

True, but I'm all for the taste, smell and experience. I don't 'need' a nicotine fix, I sometimes go a month or two without a smoke which is totally fine.
I don't want to make it a habit, just an occasional way to relax and appreciate the taste & smell.

The first Undercrown I'm going to smoke next spring is going to taste gooood

Aging Room and espresso. It's a balmy 24 degrees. Just finished some great home made clam chowder.

It's not about nicotine. It is about puffing indoors where we normally can not. They sell 0 nicotine liquids.

I am sure that Undercrown will be amazing come spring!

I still like being outside, but a man cave is a must one the weather gets too cold.

Smoking this and I have no idea what it is or where I got it. It is very tasty however!

Hemingway on this bitterly cold day. Thank god there's a cigar shop right next to the tire shop. Makes the 1.5 hour wait for new snow tires almost pleasant.

Thanks for sharing, I was wondering when they were going to release this.

LOL, only 2 My Father cigars in the whole 25...what were they smoking...

Have not tried a few of those yet. The Brick House is a great smoke at a reasonable price. Punch is another excellent value. You could argue that just about any version of a Padron Anniversary cigar could win every year The Hoyo Epicure is always in my top 10.

Interesting list. I have smoked a few of them.

Today, before it gets any colder, a great but quick, Padron Anniversary!

Trying to pretend it's not 12 degrees lol.
Long workout followed by a massage and the tanning bed.
Now enjoying a punch and an espresso. Going to see Rogue One tonight
Hope everyone is well

Viaje TNT in the warm rain while doing a little more winterizing!
