Wind

[Buck14]

I’m sitting on my rooftop deck in Chicago, only 5 story building, and it is 25 mph wind gusting to 30+.

I had more fun smoking in 19F (-7 C) in the middle of the winter.

Give me snow, rain, mud, hail, locusts, but no effing wind when I’m trying to smoke!

[Derboesekoenig]

Yeah eff that. I don't even try to smoke if it's too windy. Need to find somewhere indoors 

[Bagman]

You realize of course you live in "the windy city".  This can't be a new occurence!

[LGC]

When I lived in the West loop, I never smoked outside much. I mostly smoked in a shop or in my small apartment/condo

I’d take gale force wind over the rain we’re having in dc. Supposed tO be like this all week ?

Hey buddy I will GLADLY trade with you! Come on down to this hell hole known as the Southeast... I swear I am SO tired of this shit. This is a sweltering sauna. If it isn't raining then it is 90+ % RH like it is right now... You just sit and SWEAT, even at midnight! I basically just a wasted a beautiful cigar because it just won't burn in this shit. At least in the wind you could probably find an alley way or something to keep the wind off, but this is just nasty conditions for cigar smoking and I'm fed up with it, because it just goes on and on and on. This has got to be the wettest summer I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. You can bet your ass that it WILL storm tomorrow just as it does every single day! /end of rant

...just to give you an idea of how bad it is. You can leave a cigar nub out for a couple days and it will have mold growing on it because of the ungodly RH!

Wind ruins the entire experience of a good cigar...so a few years ago i hsd enough and bought an xl pod from under the weather...problem solved...now i use it even when there is the slightest of breezes...if smoking indoors is not an option then the pod is a life saver.

Wind...is why NC’s exist. ?

Wind is a cigars natural mortal enemy.

Dude. Hahaha that is awesome. I could set up my Helinox chair and be set in that. Thanks for the insight!

Trying to have a cigar on the beach with the stiff ocean breeze isn't any better. A struggle to say the least.

I've mostly given up trying to smoke outdoors. Unless it's perfect, on someones patio after a meal out of the wind,  I'll save my cigar. I've had some great cigars outside, no doubt, but I think I get more out of a cigar indoors.
