"40 days and 40 nights"

[Wurm]

Well not quite, but it has been raining here everyday since the beginning of June. :angry:

And since other than going to the bar (which gets expensive) or Double D's smoking room (and he is never at home during the summer) I have nowhere else to smoke other than my open balcony I'm pretty sick of it.

So I'm looking for tips on what you guys do when you want a cigar and the weather is sucking harder than Linda Lovelace.

*edit* Wanted to add that smoking in the car is out of the question...

I have the same problem bro.
Pretty much non stop rain, cold and wind for 4 weeks.
And nothing but a 6th floor balcony and a few noisey colorful birds to keep me company.
Lucky I've got some nice sticks to smoke :whistling:

Man, You dont know how I was worried 2 days before my wedding because there was planed 3h long barbeque in the middle of the night. And You know what? Sunday was a beautifull (but a little windy) day, with lots of sun in the evening and next day morning. Then when I woke up Monday evening it was rainy again.

Just wanted to write how lucky I was

I'm really happy for you Michal, though rain on a wedding day is supposed to bring luck

I have a solution for you. Tell your wife you want to have sex every day it rains. That should stop the rain. :sign:

Hey guys, I'm not sure if you know but they have invented a new item for your use. It's called an umbrella and they work just fine for when you want to enjoy a cigar outside and not get wet....... :sign: :thumbs:

I just get a box fan and put it in a open window, then put towels around the open space for a good seal. Turn it on and smoke right below it in a chair. The fan pulls the smoke right out the window and I have never noticed any lingering smell afterwards.

The wifes cool if I smoke inside either way, but I think stale cigar smoke in carpet or furniture smells nasty.

You mean smoke instead of enjoy correct? Because standing in a downpour of cold rain while trying to hold a cigar in one hand and an Umbrella in the other doesn't sound like "enjoy" to me. :sign:

Neither does humidity taking it's toll. Even if I'm dry under cover smoking in the rain, it seems that by the time I get halfway through a smoke I have problems. The taste always goes south, and I always have trouble keeping the cigar lit.

Build a gazebo.

lol on the third floor of rented apartment, na I don't think so... I am however really thinking of buying a ice-fishing shelter for the balcony, and let my wife bitch as much as she wants about it.

It's been known to rain once in a while here in the Pacific Northwest. That's why both our patio and deck have covers.....so we can enjoy them year 'round, even if it gets a little chilly. Here's Swissy and I on the upper deck, enjoying a smoke, last time he and his dear wife were in town:

The apartment poses a problem....but there is a solution: Move...!!.... :laugh:

Cheers - B.B.S.

I convinced my wife that smoking cigars while exposed to the elements was bad for my health, and talked her into letting me have this.

I's sure there are a couple of guys here that could teach you how to smoke in sombody else's car. :whistling:

Well if you ever go out there and find a guy from Tracy, CA. in there, it's just me!
