So You Want to Smoke Cigars Indoors?

Is it possible to smoke cigars indoors without leaving behind that stale-smoke-smell the next day? I recently answered this question and explained how I accomplished this task on my new cigar blog, Diff'rent Smokes. But it seems that with smoking bans popping up left and right and the large number of related posts on cigar forums, I wanted to write a brief article that goes a bit more in depth.

Believe it or not, it is possible to smoke cigars indoors and not have the room smell like an ashtray the next day. From my own personal experience, you only need three things:

1. Lasko 2155A window fan (pulls the smoky air outside)

2. Lampe Berger fragrance lamp (eliminates any remaining odors)

3. An understanding spouse (puts up with your cigar smoking)

The first two items can be found on my blog. As for number three... you're own your own.

Basically my chair is right next to the window that the fan is in. I keep the fan on medium because it's not as loud as the high setting and works just as well. I first light the Lampe Berger fragrance lamp. I'll have the lamp burning while I smoke, then for about 30 minutes afterwards. Finally, once I'm done I spray a couple of blasts of Febreze on my chair and the next day even the most sensitive noses can't smell a thing.

One last thing: Remember to shut any nearby vents while you're smoking to avoid circulating smoky air throughout the rest of the house.
