Summer vrs. Winter

Big Maduro · 11-04-2012, 08:42 PM

I was thinking about this today. do you have any preference of cigar types as they pertain to the time of year? I tend to lean towards more spice and deep more rich cigars in winter. Just curious.

jluck · 11-04-2012, 08:47 PM

I seem to lean to CC's in the summer and Maduro NC's in the winter, Don't know why but this has shown in spending trends lately.

pnoon · 11-04-2012, 09:08 PM

No change in preferences for me.

T.G · 11-04-2012, 09:09 PM

Nope, no changes in preferences for me either.

Big Maduro · 11-04-2012, 09:21 PM

Maybe it's because I have to smoke outside or in the garage. It seems I prefer something that feels, "warm" Whenit's really hot I levitate more toward a Fuente sungrown or something like that. In winter it seems I crave more of a Puro Authentico or Joya Antonio,

No changes for me either.

dubleuhb · 11-04-2012, 10:39 PM

No difference for me.

Malakai · 11-04-2012, 10:47 PM

No changes for me.

Its all about my mood rather than the time of the year...

mahtofire14 · 11-05-2012, 01:05 AM

Only change I make is size. Tend to smoke shorter cigars in the winter due to the cold weather.

icehog3 · 11-05-2012, 01:44 AM

In the summer, I tend to prefer Ramon Allones, Partagas, Bolivar and Por Larranaga.

In the winter, it's Ramon Allones, Partagas, Bolivar and El Rey del Mundo.

Although I do like Por Larranaga in the winter.

I Usually Have More Burn & Wrapper Issues In The Winter. I Always Smoke Outside; Our Colder, Dryer, Lower Humidity Here In Mobile Is Not Conducive To Perfect Smoking Conditions.

Therefore, I Tend To Smoke More Lower To Medium Priced NC's & Save My "Good Stuff" For The Spring & Summer.

mosesbotbol · 11-05-2012, 06:55 AM

I smoke more cigars in the winter, but my preferences stay the same.

kelmac07 · 11-05-2012, 06:59 AM

No real taste preference for me, but I definitely go with shorter smokes during the New England winters. Once I become independently wealthy and have a smoking room built, I'll smoke whatever I want when I want. But when I'm walking the dog in sub-freezing weather, I'll go with a perlas or small panatela sized smoke.

Vin - you can come to the new Casa de DBall - supposed to have a smoking room! :-)

The only thing that changes for me is I have to be more carefull with my sticks and cant keep a few in a traveldor in the car for emergency use (traffic jams, etc)

Only thing that changes for me is the quantity per day. Since it's soooooo damned nice out during the 4 days (

) of winter here in Florida, it's easy to smoke 3 or 4 a day. Summer, it's 1 or 2. Sometimes 1 every other day.

Cville Cigar · 11-05-2012, 04:56 PM

Stays the same for me!
