Too cold to smoke

Been cooped up for too long. Bright sun today 6 degrees, great day to bundle up for a long dog walk. So I hooked up Mundo to the leash and lit my LFD Ligero. The thing cracked. splayed, and wouldn't stay lit. Then I dropped it! (hard to smoke with gloves on I've found). Wouldn't have been a disaster only it fell right into a black crusty truck tire rut! I quickly realized why I was having problems. I'm smoking inside a giant freezer! Bad experience. The dog didn't mind though. Don't try this at home...

    Lesson learned, but that still sucks! The LFD Ligero is a great stick, and I think you should pay tribute to your fallen friend by smoking another one on the first warm day of the spring. :-)

    Good idea! But I can't wait that long. It's supposed to warm up into the 20's this week, and I know from experience any good cigar can hold up in those temperatures.

    I always hate smoking in the cold. My palate loses something.

    High temp today was 9 in buffalo and was pretty much between 0 & 2 degrees today.

    I've come to the conclusion that anything below 11 is just damn cold. haha

    I tried smoking a MoW one night when it was 10-15 degrees outside...thought i was ok since I was next to a fireplace...NOPE...wrapper split then the whole cigar just unraveled on me...never again!

    I'm still trying to figure out why anyone lives in a place where it gets this cold. Ohio can suck it, as far as I'm concerned.

    Ha! It was -25 at my house this morning when I woke up, that's WITHOUT the windchill.

    not smoking much lately. The temp yesterday morning here was -44 with th wind chill, -29 without counting the wind. Not only does the cigar crack, but so do your lips and eye lids at that temp :(

    Sheesh. If I saw my thermometer drop into the negatives I'd just say F it and pack up right then.

    Where are you? The coldest I remember is 0. I can't even imagine what -29 is like.

    It's like an immediate ice-cream headache...over your whole body.

    I also suffer from the it's too damn cold to blink outside, let alone think about lighting up a fine stick! We actually hit a heat wave here (central PA) today...a whopping 31! I'm Mike, by the way. New to the forums. I'll post an introductory thread here shortly haha.
