FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[Havanaaddict]

My protocol is, I cracked the driver side window about 2 inches. I keep my cigar in my left hand near the window. I blow each puff out towards the window. I have the left vent aimed towards that cracked window. I have the vents blowing lightly, I make sure that positive air is coming in the car, not recirculating. I toss the cigar but out the window when I’m finished. The last few miles I put all the windows down in the car to air it out. The next day you smell a little residue but within a day or so it’s all gone.

Super Partagas. Very Partagas.

@SigmundChurchill - Can you provide some guidance on in-car cigar smoking? Do you open windows? Sunroof? How strong is the smell the next day? Does this materially impact resale value (if you even care)? Feels like most people probably don't smoke in their cars, but it's a very logical place to enjoy a cigar. Any tips appreciated.

I drive with the driver's side window open a few inches so the smoke gets dragged directly out of the car while I am moving.  

When I get to a red light I open all the windows and sunroof, and close again once I start moving.

When I get a block from home, I open all windows and the sunroof to air blow out any smoke that may be sitting in the air, and then I leave the windows and sunroof open in the garage.

If I am on a long drive, when I finish the cigar, I leave all windows and sunroof open for as long as I can stand it, driving down the highway to really air out the car.

I also leave a few of beanbag-type odor eliminators in the car at all times.

And lastly, and this may or may not be controversial, I never ash in the car. Always out the window. And if I am on a long drive, at the end of the cigar, I don't puff, and wait until the cigar is completely out, and then wait a little longer, and then toss the end out the window.

My wife, who smells cigar on my clothes from the other side of town, often mentions how amazed she is that my car doesn't smell like smoke.

One thing I notice with the Porsche is that sometimes if I have the air conditioning going, then the next time I start up the car, I get a hint of odor coming from the air conditioning. This never happened in the G Wagon. The only explanation I can come up with is that the air filtration systems in some cars are better than others.

As far as resale, I haven't had to use them so far, but there are companies that will guarantee to remove any odor. Not cheap, but if I thought it would increase resale value more than the cost, I would just use them.

It may also help that I have my car cleaned inside and out on a weekly basis.

Almost like a longer HUHC. Fantastic smoke!

Testing a Caz Mummy to see if I want to join the Monster horde.

The PG blew it away @ $2 less though.

So fresh

I'll probably regret passing on this.

Yesterday at the lounge…

Kicked things off with a Monte Petit Eddie. GER MAY 24. Curiously sour. Putting the rest of these into the fagetaboutem box.

Not pictured is the ever solid HUHC. TOA SEP 23.

Montecristo Open Regata Aug 23.

It's not bad at all, although the grass predominates and it's a bit soft for the brand.

I think I'll have to give the two or three I have left a few more years.

Have now got my BIL smoking cigars and golfing. Mission accomplished. ✅ 

This Connie 2 was the cigar of the month for me. Normally not a big fan of the Connie line. Leathery goodness.

Heading to the airport for a flight to Toronto. Short smoke for the 45 minute drive.
