How to Smoke Cigars in the Winter
I lived in Michigan for 25 years, Chicago for 5 years, and Colorado for 20 years. I've spent the last few decades doing two things: smoking cigars and shoveling snow. Here's how to smoke cigars in the winter.
Don't smoke outdoors when it's windy. You'll be miserable. Cold is fixable, wind is not. You can probably figure out some wind protection but it's not worth the effort. Pick a time when the wind is zero or minimal.
Get yourself a fire pit. You can build an in-ground fire pit at your home, or you can buy a portable thing. They are not expensive. You can also substitute a portable propane fire pit solution in place of an actual wood-burning fire pit. Nice thing about the propane units: they are easy on/off. But if you really want to do this right, build an actual wood fire and get it rolling. You will enjoy the experience.
Get yourself two propane heaters. The first will be a standing propane unit that directs the heat downwards. (You see these at bars and restaurants.). The second will be a floor unit that blasts heat through a tube-shaped fan. Position the first heater near your seating area, and position the second one a comfortable distance away. (The floor-based units are LOUD, whereas the standing units are dead silent. Use the floor unit only when necessary. You might also try two standing units instead of one of each.). Between the fire pit and the heaters, you're looking at around $400 all-in. However, these units are essentially immortal and are worth the investment. They will serve you for many years if you do this right.
Use matches or a zippo. Butane lighters don't work well in the cold.
Enjoy!

A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.
