I know it's counter to your FS injunstincts but you could get a 2nd "smaller" humidor.
Either that or quit being a bitch and build a walk in with multiple cabinets already.
A root cellar with cigars, ammo, and firewater for the apocalypse would be an easy install in the trailer park.
Always good to get the "Swaye Update" with regards to cigars.
I've been, literally, blowing through my stash of Opus Xs and Cubanos during snowmaggedon. It's been glorious.
Here's how my day/nights have gone since all the Christmas obligations were complete on December 25th.
1. Humor the wife (pics previously posted) with some small talk in the morning.
2. Find my kid and say hello, just make sure she (pics previously posted) knows I still exist.
3. Turn on the gas and get the fire pit going on the deck.
4. Pick 2 or 3 cigars for the afternoon/evening.
5. Pick something from my liquor cabinet to accompany my smoke choices.
6. Dress accordingly.
7. Sit outside, smoke, drink and enjoy the once in a lifetime snow event.
Rinse and repeat. Might be the greatest Christmas stretch ever.
I also discovered this website: www.bondroberts.com
I'm pretty sure that Swaye is the only person here with the budget to hang out at that site.
Once I've paid off my families exorbitant Christmas spending spree next month, I'll linger at that site a little longer and think about how my cigar tastes are becoming increasingly more outrageous.

Okay I love this post. Bond Roberts is legit! But yeah you better be able to swing your wallet to hang out there. I gotta say though you can see that there are some deals to be had. There are some hidden gem Limited Editions and Regionals by the "less popular" brands that can be had quite reasonably, and I bet with some research you could really cherry pick some real winners. I will probably spend a good bit of my life the next two weeks doing just that.
I have learned quickly that cigars are a lot like watches. You drop 3K on your first Breitling and think "I've arrived!" 15 years later you spend 80K on a Patek and go wtf just happened? 5 years ago I was doing the hunter gatherer thing and if I dropped 12 bucks on a stick I thought I was walking in tall cotton. Now I buy boxes of 10 for 1200 bucks and think nothing of it. Hobbies have a way of growing in both scope and cost. Fuck it. You can't take it with you. Plus, do you know how much money I am saving not doing cocaine?

My former man-cave in the basement was long before that a coal-bin, so my wife and kids could give a shit when I put a fan in the ceiling and piped the smoke outside. Then we remodeled and insulated the fuck out of everything, and sadly, turned the old coal bin area into the new guest room. New slab, new extended foundation walls, new windows & walls. Fucking nice quiet room now, but nowhere left to smoke inside except in front of the stove, like my old man did his Merits BITD. It's truly no way to smoke a cigar, which means I'm suffering during the cold months. I've done the garage with a propane heater thing, but that sucks too.
Has anyone found a commercial grade smokeless ashtray that actually works well enough to shut up bitchy family members? Or is that just another scam?

I got no clue. I suffer in silence in the garage or I wait for those great days like today where it hits the high 50's and go out back and enjoy sticks the way God intended. Had a Montecristo with some whiskey today and it was glorious.

I smoke once a week in the summer in Bend. Winter is tough. Gotta find the 48 and sunny without too much wind days.
The new ice age is cramping my style.
I moved to California
I had a basement man cave in Seattle but cigar smoke is strong
We're in the couple week period here where its actually cold outside
Southern California is great cigar county. I learned the habit watching my old man smoke outside in December.
Supposed to be 35 in Temecula on Sat night Race.
People forget in can snow in lowland Souther California. I’ve witnessed it twice.
AM Humidors just got some Opus X God's Whisper in:
https://www.amhumidors.com/product-page/ff-opus-x-20th-anniversary-god-s-whisper-box-of-20
I bought a box as I have wanted these forever and they are impossible to find. Just a heads up for any serious Opus X fans out there.
Edit: Already sold out. Didn't make it a day. I found them at another secret place of mine:
https://cityofcigars.com/products/arturo-fuente-opusx-20-years-god-s-whisper
100 bucks more but it is highly likely you will never see these again. Be a baller, you know you want to.

While I am hooking all of you up allow me to help you out even if you are on a tight budget. Carrillo Pledge Prequel on sale for 86 bucks a box. Are you fucking kidding me? $8.60 a stick for the Cigar of the Year? 98 rated! I have smoked an entire box of these already, and put up 3 more boxes for the future. Think I am going to buy two more now at these prices.

I turned @PurpleBaze and @YellowSnow (and @DHD too I think) on to these and they have purchased them in quantity and can back me up here. These cigars are the best dollar to quality stick in the world. Period. Do yourself a favor and buy a box.

Can confirm
It’s a balmy 35 today and the wind died down. Lighting up a pledge prequel. Sexted pics to @PurpleBaze and @Swaye

So what I'm hearing is, I'm Fucked. Great. Guess I'll chap the fuck out of my lips and face trying to smoke a Monte Cristo in the cold wind and snow while walking my dog.
The only good part is hearing the masked up cunts with little purse dogs bitch and whine as I parade by blowing smoke at their insecurities.

A fellow cigar-loving buddy of mine built a Rumford outdoor fireplace on his patio and extended the roof and one wall to shield a perfect little smoking and heat pocket that kept people reasonably dry and warm - enough to enjoy a cigar, anyway - at his place in Edmonds. It was perfect, but he retired and moved away.
One of those uber-pleasureable things you wished you'd never experienced in the first place, as its absence will now haunt me for the rest of my days.

Winter smoking is becoming the biggest existential threat to my life happiness there is. I'm hatching a 5 year plan to lose the Rose Bowl when Mrs. Swaye says no to my great idea of building a complete enclosed smoking room in the basement in 2027.

Frostbite started to set in on my finger tips as o got down to the nub of the Prequel.
Then I get sweated coming back inside smelling like smoke.
It’s a hard knock life for Yella.
You guys sound a little soft to me. You should go out to the local river and stand there for a while picking ice out of your rod guides and then handle a fish for a while. If there's a little freezing rain, leave your hood down long enough for it to start running down the back of your neck.
That will make your back porch cigar trips seem like a visit to a desert oasis.
Get some of these fuckers, too. Great for cold days when you need to be using your fingers.
