Your "Go To" Winter Cigar? ☃️

Actually, give us your top 3 "Go To" Winter cigars

What do you reach for when the snow is falling, the wind is howling and you head out to your garage/mancave/cigar igloo.

Very fitting topic as we are getting pounded by 12" of snow and -25 temperatures in what is hopefully the last storm of this winter. On the weekend I did get in a couple Sovereign Suns and Trinity Robusto. These are my only two cigars that i have been enjoying this winter so my list is only two deep.

H. Upmann Half Corona, Montecristo No. 4 and Hoyo de Monterrey Coronations.

Happy that signs of warming weather are on the horizon so I can smoke bigger sticks and not turn into a Popsicle!

Winter cigar season hits different. When you’re in the garage, snow blowing sideways, and the space heater sounds like it’s fighting for its life… this is not the moment for delicate cigars. This is survival smoking. So I skip the obvious heavy hitters and grab these sleepers:

• Juan López Selección No. 2: toasted bread, honeyed nuts, that tangy Cuban core. Medium-plus without being a brute. It cuts through cold air and still feels refined. Criminally underrated.
• Ramón Allones Small Club Corona: winter cheat code. Short enough that your fingers don’t freeze off, but loaded with dark sugar and spice. Dense little flavor bomb. Garage-approved.
• Punch Punch: Leathery, rustic, slightly old-school in the best way. Feels like it was blended for wool coats and concrete floors.

That’s my winter rotation when it’s -10°F and I’m pretending this is relaxing.

Hoyo Petit Robusto

Cohiba Siglo I

Trini Reyes (from a pre-cigarmageddon box)

[Chibearsv]

Everything is in play for me always. I’ve just got to dry box for a couple days if it’s really cold outside or busted wrappers can happen since there’s zero humidity in the air.

Right now the N2 is winding me down nicely after a busy work day. It’s got a bit of pepper, stewed fruit, sourdough, and some musty twang. Retrohale is dreamy. This is the last of a 5 pack sampler. Time for a bundle. 

[WestCoastSmokin]

Last winter I smoked a lot of RASS and Juan Lopez 2. This winter has been a heavy dose of MOFOH Robusto Trinitys when I do go out and smoke, also smoking a lot more NC right now so I’ll reach for a Oliva Serie V Melanio. For CC, I’ll reach for Robusto/Petit Coronas sized cigars. 

[riderpride]

1) Sovereign Suns with great flavors, shortness, and wide enough to not have tarring issues due to rapid heating/cooling cycles in cold temps.

2) BRC is my Cuban choice for the bold flavors - no need to think too hard.

3) Oliva G as it's good enough, and I'm not afraid to toss one if my knuckles are cracking after only an inch or so due to the low low price point. 

Cheers!

These have been my snow shoveling cigars this year.

Hoyo PR - These cabs do not last long enough.

PLPC

Sovereign Suns

Party Shorts - Though I'll be hard pressed to buy another cab unless the prices move a bit.

Bolivar, Montecristo and Ramon Allones all have deep rick dark profiles that warm you in the winter. 

[JohnS]

San Cristóbal de la Habana El Príncipe, Por Larranaga Montecarlos, Montecristo No.5 and Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story.

Ask me again in around four months time when it's actually winter in the the part of the world I live in!

[Ruggerpgh99]

Sovereign Suns, LFD Carajones, HVC Hot Cake Half Corona. I need those short smokes in these temps. 

[Ciscojohansson]

D4 or Royal Corona, and if its really cold a Upmann Half Corona.

[svmiiller]

I'm all over the place to pinpoint any particular brand. But it is cold today and I'm just finishing up a Tatuaje Miami 2003 cojonu. 

[El Hoze]

Down in South Florida my ultimate “cold” weather / holiday cigar is the Bolivar Corona Gigante. In fact I save them for smoking during the winter/holiday season. 

If we’re talking actual cold weather, Sovereign Suns are an unbeatable quicker flavor bomb. I travel around alot snowboarding and this year I have been packing only SS and smoking only them for weeks at a time usually freezing my arse off outside of a hut somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Never get sick of them or wish I had something else.

I am SUPER lucky in that I have outfitted my home office with air purification and ventilation and I have access to a nice lounge, so "winter cigar" for me is about a flavor mindset. Right now, when I want to bask in watching the snow fall, it's:

• RyJ Nobles (it has a kind of Christmas-y flavor to me);
• Monte Dumas (like smoking a brownie); and
• Fabrica 5 Canonazo (this thing is awesome).

[BG318]

This time of year I avail myself of the 24/7 cigar lounge that is nearby, so I can enjoy whatever I like without considering the temperature. If I do smoke outside I don't really enjoy it this time of year, whether it's because I'm standing, wearing gloves, avoiding the wind, etc.
