I smoke my stoggies outside. I love sitting outside relaxing with a good cigar. I live in Canada however so that isn't going to work for the whole year. (this just came to me) so I guess I'll have to figure out where to smoke during the rainey winter here on Vancouver Island. Where do you smoke? Does smoking outside change the taste of a cigar?

I live in NC, so I don't have much worry about the weather. Our house faces West, so the back of our house is shady and cool in the evenings, even on a hot day. I sit on the deck out back, sometimes with a book, sometimes with nothing, sometimes with a laptop, sometimes with my cat.

I'm an outside smoker. On my patio. I don't see how it could change the taste, but if it does, it could only be for the better, IMHO.

If I lived on Vancouver Island, I'd definitely find a way to be outside as much as possible. Beautiful place.

Thanks for that Urbino. Vancouver Island is indeed a BEAUTIFUL place. My question was based on memories of when I used to smoke cigarettes. I found that smoking a cigerette outside gave it a different taste then smoking one inside, Also with colder air outside in some months it definately had an effect on the taste, so I wondered if the same could be true for cigars. Still tryin' to figure out what I will do during the rainey season. Wet stoggies don't taste good inside or out, and the damned things keep going out too!

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.

No real weather but good weather you mean. But I do appreciate you not rubbing our noses in it. I guess the closest I get to smoking indoors is when I am in my truck with the windows down.

You got it. I like that actually, I use the term "no weather" since we don't get snow (except for the mountains), hurricanes, tornadoes or the like, so good weather is probably a more fitting description.

Just mudslides and earthquakes and wildfires. It's not the sky you guys have to worry about; it's the ground.

Side note here urby, give your mailbox a check when you can, a secret source tells me something may be there for you.

Hmmmmm . . . I don't know this secret source, but I like the way it thinks. I'll definitely check the box. Thanks!

Due to my Girlfriend and her *ahem* Ruling the roost I smoke outside on the front patio, but I found out the Bar that is 30ft. from my front door allows cigars and all I had to do was bring the owner one and now I can smoke there whenever I want!

You live 30 feet from a bar !! Are you living in a van in the parking lot ??

Hey Lasabar, can you say you notice any difference in the taste or your stoggies inside or out?

No taste difference in all reality but the taste can be affected with the BURN of the cigar. Inside the cigars burn very evenly and slowly which makes the cigar cooler, and right now in the hot summer the inside air conditioning also is a drier air which will help with the burn.

If your cigar burns too quick or uneven the taste CAN be affected, most cigars will be affected because most of the flavor that you taste comes from the wrapper so if your cigar burns funny then the flavor will change, not in actual taste but in intensity and balance etc.
Tunneling: When the cherry burns the inside filler but the wrapper is burning too slowly
Canoeing: When one side of the cigar is burning faster than the other

Relights and being conscious of the wind will help, but the flavors won't change just the MIX of the flavors will
