Smoking Room Conversion

[jrfoxx]

I think it looks like a pretty decent little setup already. You got the necessities to enjoy a cigar, so anything else is gravy.

Just a personal opinion, i wouldn't bother repainting the walls personally, any kind of smoke, fire, cigarette or cigar, coats the walls with a thin film of tar quickly, especially in a small room, so unless your ventilation has pretty rapid, full room air exchange, you'll just be scrubbing or repainting in the future.

I know this from being a cigarette smoker along with the ex-wife. After the first apartment where we had to scrub nicotine and tar off the living room walls, the rule became not indoor cigarettes inside ever again.

I'm sure cigars are just as bad or worse. Just something to think about before you bother painting yet unless the current paint is already trashed, I'd wait until you can start to see dulling or yellowing of the paint before bothering.

Also, white paint is the worst for this obviously, get the darkest off-white you can. Would make a big difference.

For ventilation, a simple window fan is easy, cheap, and gives the best exchange.

I was allowed to smoke cigars indoors in the house we were renting though as the ex loved the smell, plus all landlords are crooks and will find or invent reasons to keep your deposit, so we just considered it a loss from day one anyway.

very much miss my days of sitting in my ultra comfy recliner with a trash can on the left, and bedroom night stand on the right to hold ashtray, supplies, drinks, daily smokes wooden humidor, and antique, nickel plated oil lamp for awesome nighttime ambiance.

Perhaps a closet conversion to a humidor is a possibility?

How's the room and new walk-in conversion coming along, @Nature ?

As the weather had warmed this spring, my need for an indoor smoking area diminished.
Also, since then, my need for a home office presented itself, so a little change of direction.
That doesn’t mean that it won’t be a working smoking office!
I can still install a TV (but why? I rarely watch).

Currently, still re-laying the wooden flooring to repair some water damage. It is an engineered strand bamboo. Essentially taking up a few rows at a time then relaying again while replacing damaged boards as I go. Fortunately, I have enough unused boards remaining from when I installed it. Honestly though, it would probably have been easier to just tear it all up and start from scratch. I was too cheap to buy all new flooring, but I’m paying for it in my labors.

I have plans to install a rustic weathered and Shou Sugi Ban wood plank accent wall. Once the floor is done, I will move my winedor, totes, and a mini-fridge into the room.
