I'm pretty much a back porch smoker. I did a few times this winter sitting in front of the fireplace when my wife was in the hospital during one of her monthly stays and believe me I heard about it when she got home.

Given all you are dealing with its understadable you would want to take a time out with cigar in hand in front of the fireplace. Not to long ago my wife battled breast cancer and succeeded. Even though you heard about it it was probably nice to hear the fight in her voice.
Winter, reposing on the leather couch in the TV room, beside the hearth so that the smoke gets sucked up the flue, football on the toob, mixed drink in hand, Redhead in her barcalounger chattering away while I pretend to listen.
Spring thru Fall in the garage, MMA on the garage toob, wrenching on a bike, cold beer in the garage fridge. That's where I burnt a fine Uppowoc Perfecto last night while bolting floorboards on the Indian.
Or else my new smoking room -- cause I enclosed my porch. I sit in a plastic adirondack, e-book on the tablet, Michter's rye beside me, windows open, listening to the rain.

I've always been a porch smoker. Now I'm thinking of smoking in a small guest bedroom but, I hear that carpet will absorb a lot of the smoke odor. I just put new carpet down in there before I moved in. I hate to rip it out already. Any ideas on how to leave the carpet in place but still protect it from the smells?

Do you have a window in the bedroom? If so smoke by the window and put a little window fan in it to pull the smoke out. I smoke in a den and have a double window fan in there and my recliner is about 4 feet from the window. I have carpeting and there have been nights where I smoke 2-3 cigars and the next morning you dont know I did. I usually let the fan run for 30 minutes after I am done and make sure I take the ashtray outside or dump them out right away.

I have very little, if any, smell the next day and I use this method. I also run an air purifier non-stop when I am home. You may be okay, but I understand not wanting to in a room with brand new carpet
We should Def herf when hays return. If anything you should try to come down to fremont with jason. We need to figure something out.
Dark roast. What can I say we in CA know what's up!
Werrrrd, let´s do that.
The culture around smoking is quite a bit different here in Spain, and even though my wife is not one of those that enjoys the smell of a cigar, she has no problem if I want to fire up a cigar in the house (we own it). She has even suggested several times that I have our guest bedroom as a dedicated smoking room, but after smoking in there recently I realized that it needs a LOT more ventilation installed for me to be happy with that. Now, we have tile floors lots of wood furniture, so there´s no carpet to soak up the smell (and plenty of windows in the house, so as long as we open them up the cross-breeze will clear out any smell.
Now back in California, I smoked inside my apartment less than 10 times in 18mos, but the carpet soaked up the smell well enough that I got hit for damages upon moving out. Won't make that mistake again!

She still reminds me now whenever she has to stay at the hospital.
I smoke in my garage at work. Heat from 3 fifty horsepower compressors to keep the ice cream cold is nice in the winter. Gets pretty hot in the summer though! But if I get too warm, I have a 28 below freezer to cool down in!

I bet its relaxing in that garage. The hum of the compressors in the background during a frigid winter night keeping you comfortably warm.

I love Coffee Ice cream. Do you make that flavour?

I will be able to soon enough! Building a lounge from the old bar in the house. Back in the game.
Please post pictures of your lounge. I bet you can't wait to get it done. Smoking inside is the best. I just need to figure out a way to do more often.

I will do! I am so excited that my wife finally bought into it. we have been smoking in the garage for years, but since i went out on my own to build cars - the garage is at maximum capacity. I needed somewhere to escape the heat! and so i cut a deal with the wife - i will buy you a horse... to have my own lounge. sold.
Its always interesting me what it takes to close the deal. Buying a horse is one of the most interesting. Your wife is happy and you are exstatic! Win-Win! Good for you. Keep us updated.
I have a converted garage that is my smoking room/man cave. No vents to the house, just three windows and a front door. Built-in window A/C into the wall that drains into the actual garage and space heaters for the winter.
I smoke in there quite a bit and with a Csonka Smoke Cloaker overnight I don't smell any stale smoke. If I have guests over the next day I burn a candle in the room for a bit.

Lasabar - Sounds like a cozy place to relax and enjoy a cigar. What's a Csonka Smoke Cloaker? No familiar with that.

I have the grey globe looking guy. Takes care of a nice large room with generating Ozone. The ozone is NOT safe for sitting in and can hurt your lungs, but you put the ozone overnight, hold your breath, go into the room and turn it off and after 15 minutes the ozone breaks down and there is no smell.
The only smell you get is what it smells like after a thunderstorm. Lightning super heating the air generates ozone, that's what this does in your room.
I've been happy, I've even tested it by smoking in my old duplex while the wife was away and after the weekend of the Csonka I asked her if the house smelled different and she said NO!
