Summer is here… This past week it reached 100 degrees in Los Angeles and today in NYC it will be 92 degrees. I don’t know about my readers but in the summer I tend to smoke cigars that are more mild. The strength of a cigar to me just makes the heat that much more worse. With that said and done I have a La Gloria Cubana Series R No. 4 Maduro ready to go when this posting is done…
Don’t forget to leave a comment on the CAO Brazilia Box Press review for your chance to win. The winner will be chosen next Sunday.
The Sunday Links:
Cigar Choice has a quick smoke review of the Esteban Carerra Habansos Maduro Robusto.
Leaf And Grape visits one of my favorite smokes in the El Triunfador Lancero.
Toms Cigars has a review of the Punch Corojo 2009.
Every Sunday I’ll ask a question and this week…
Does the hot weather change your choice when it comes to the strength of the cigar you smoke?

I almost always opt for a milder cigar in hot weather. I find that more full body smokes make me thirsty. I usually will have some water around when I’m smoking something big. On a hot day, it doubles my thirst factor!
You know, I was wondering why I’ve been getting light-headed when I go out to smoke in the heat lately. I think you just answered my question. Thanks!
I’ve been getting into more mild smokes, but I think it’s just that my pallet is changing.
So far I have noticed my choice change based on the weather. But now I’m sure it’ll be a consideration. And I would imagine that I would go for more mild. Guess we’ll wait and see.
And we had 80′s in CO this past week and this morning there was 3″-4″ of snow on the ground. Gotta love spring in the Rockies.
I usually pick up a box of petite coronas or the equivalent for the hot summer nights –something with a lot of flavor in a small package. Rocky Patel Sungrown PCs or Padron Ambassadors (the last box of maduros were great.) As long as I can smoke most of the cigar before I’m drenched I’m good.
Weather doesn’t affect what I smoke, but what I am drinking does
