Your two "go-to" cigars....dependent on weather


Recommended Posts

I often describe cigar selection akin to selecting a golf club for a shot.....you pick the club that best suits the situation.

So as we are travesing climate extremes .....cold up north....hot down below...what is your ideal cigar choice for the following situations:

1. Bloody Cold

Damn cold but you have a spot that is workable (you are not going to freeze!). Fine drink to accompany the cigar...it has been snowing for days.

2. Bloody Hot

Around the pool or at the beach/camping with mates. Cold beers aplenty but the constant drip of persoiration in noticeable.

Cold - Party Short - quick, packs a punch, leathery, creamy, touch of spice, best size to flavor ratio.

Hot - QDO Corona - light, creamy, easy, accompanies many kinds of cocktails, clean and tasty.

This is a tough one to answer. If it was really cold outside I would probably reach for something like a Bolivar Petit Corona, or a Petit Edmundo. Pair it up with a little bourbon.

Hot day, along with the ice cold beers mentioned, a Fonseca No 1, or a Cohiba Lancero. I prefer smoking in the heat as opposed to the cold. I remember smoking a Party Lusy outside in the winter in Japan. I was numb by the time I hit the second third.

If we are talking extremes (which we do get on the hot side in AZ) I'd go with:

Hot: Cohiba Siglo IV. I find the Siglo line to be

mild. Grassy/honey goes good with a cold beverage.

Cold: HDM Epi 2. This is a new cigar for me, but my favorite of the HDM line that I have tried. A robusto that is sweet but rich, adding warmth to the cold. It's also a robusto which gives you some quality time, but doesn't freeze you ...... off!

I like all the stronger cigars in the moderate temps.

Hot - A Monte usually. Love all the edmundos (petit, regular and and grande). A good # 2 also

Cold - I won't sit in the cold for a cigar - so see previous answer. Then it's off to the Outlaw (my local B&M that can comfortably hold 50 to 100 smokers - 6 big screens for your sports viewing pleasure). This place is the thing that keeps me smoking NCs. I feel guilty if I always walk in and smoke my own Cubans - so I happily patronize them and keep trying new NCs.

Cold: Party Short with a Scotch. When it's freezing outside you don't want to grab a big cigar or one you have to hunt for the subtle flavors. Right in the face is the way to go in the winter.

Hot: SLR Serie A with a Scotch or wine. Nice size with flavors to relax with and enjoy the journey.

Curious... Some of you are picking very small

Smokes for the cold, and very large for the hot.

I'd like to know where you all come from (from this

Point on, I suppose) if that's cool!?!

As I've mentioned, I'm from the Phoenix, Arizona

Area where our coldest might be in the 20s F, and hottest between 115-120 F.
