    I'm an outside smoker. I live in southern California, so the nights are almost always nice temperature wise, since we have no real weather here.
    Just three seasons...last summer, this summer, and next summer :P
    haha, you forgot the fabled winter 18 years ago when we got snow. That's more of a mythical fourth season though.

    I think I would prefer smoking outside to inside, though I've never smoked indoors. Something about just being outside, watching the stars with a good cigar is incredibly relaxing to me.

    Which happened right after the unicorn sighting at the Hotel del Coronado. :P

    Inside and out. I enjoy it more outside I think.
    I think there are less distractions for me outside and I pay more attention to the taste and I can relax more.
    My wife smokes cigarrettes.
    Even though she doesn't like the smell of my cigars, she can't complain - too much.

    I almost always smoke on my front porch. I love to sit out there during thunderstorms since the porch faces towards the lake (5 miles away), so I get to see some awesome lightning off in the distance.

    I occasionally smoke in the lounge at B&Ms and I think that the cigar itself is usually better indoors, definitely easier to keep it burning properly (especially in the humidity), but the whole experience of smoking outdoors is usually better.

    I dont think Ive ever smoked inside a closed space. I would imagine it would have an effect on the perceived taste of a cigar, inside vs outside. indoors you are more likely to be breathing second hand smoke. the smoke in the air outside your mouth is highly diffused when compared to the smoke in your mouth, you would be smelling diffused smoke while puffing on the cigar. since taste is what, 70% smell? somthing like that anyway. I imagine the indoor smoking experience would be different. as for cold weather, I have noticed that smoking a cigar in bitter cold creates a smoking experience with almost no flavor. It could be attributed to the 70% smell factor, when its cold I dont smell things to well, stuffy nose/heavy moisture in the air/just being plain uncomfortable.

    Hi all, I'm rather new but I thought I would toss in my two cents.  I normally smoke outside on the patio, but sometimes the weather prohibits that comfortably.  So once in a while, I'll light up in the garage.  Just crack the door, pull up a chair and enjoy a smoke and a good beverage.  I have smoked in a couple of indoor lounges however.  One of my favorite being Casa Fuente in Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas.  Pull up a chair, light up, have a nice drink and watch all the people wandering in the casino.  Personally, I've never really noticed a big difference between indoors and outdoors... but I think I'll have to try and conduct some kind of "scientific" experiment... or just use it as an excuse to enjoy a couple more smokes. :-)
    Give me a fine cigar and a good beer, and I just might be able to rule the world.

    When I smoke at home (most of the time), I do it outdoors on the back deck. We live in a very forested neighborhood and it is relaxing for all the reasons others have already covered. The rest of the time, I smoke in the lounge at the local B&M. Only problem is that their selection isn't very consistent with my tastes and they don't like it when I bring ccom cigars in for some reason.

    Regarding the difference between indoor and outdoor, I don't think I've noticed much of a flavor difference. I do have trouble with keeping the burn even outdoors when the wind picks up. The main problem I have indoors is that the lounge is always full of several people smoking different stuff all at once, so the mingling can be frustrating. When my friend and I go to the store together, we tend to take turns picking something to both have for exactly this reason.

    I too smoke outside as well... Once my son goes down for bed (usually around 8pm) I'll head outside for a bit and lounge in the hammock... Light a couple of the tiki torches and lean back and relax...  When time and weather permit of course...

    I have always smoked outside as well. I love the smell of a good cigar, I just don't like to smell it in the house. I think if you smell it all the time like that, it takes something away from when you pull another out of the humi. Besides that, the wife would never allow it. LOL I may start sitting down at the local B&M and try one there, just to see if there is any difference.

    Actually Scion, I was in Sunriver and then eastern OR for about a week and a half, so I missed most of the rainy weather. :-) But now that fall is on it's way, I'm sure I will be spending a lot more time in the garage with my smokes.
