Top Five Cigars for Summer Parties
Lighting up a cigar at a party definitely makes a statement. Pair it with a fine Scotch and a cool blazer, and chances are you won’t be going home alone. If you’re new to the world of luxury smoking, don’t sweat it. I’m going to get you acquainted with five quality smokes that will get you into the club.
Fuente Fuente OPUS X BELICOSO XXX
The OPUS X BELICOSO XXX is possibly the most-sought after non-Cuban cigar. It’s full bodied, spicy and made in the Dominican Republic. The intense nicotine kick earned it the nickname, The Power Ranger.
Perdomo Champagne Noir
Another full-bodied cigar, the Perdoma Champagne Noir wrappers are aged in oak barrels designed for Bourbon. Enjoy complex flavours with hints of coffee, cocoa and sweet cedar. The finish is earthy, and the filling is from Nicaragua.
5 Vegas Gold
Taking the body down a notch, we have the 5 Vegas Gold. This milder cigar is made of Honduran fillers that have been aged for five years. Draw it in and your mouth will fill with nutty and peppery flavours. The first third is a bit intense, but it smoothes out into a creamier blend as you go.
Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic Natural
This aesthetically-pleasing cigar burns beautifully from foot to nub. The rich tobacco flavours taste like coffee, cedar and citrus. It’s medium bodied with fillers from Dominican Republic.
Padron 1964 Anniversary Exclusivo Maduro
Full bodied and full flavoured, this 5″ ½ Padron favourite is sweet, aromatic and has a long cocoa finish. The burn is even and the draw smooth. Fillings are from Nicaragua.
These beauties should be available at your local cigar shop, or you can always order them online. Next time you hit up a summer party, remember: suit up, smoke up, drink up.
