Choosing the right cigar for chilly weather means picking smaller formats or mild-to-medium smokes that deliver flavour without taking forever to finish.

Tips for Winter Cigar Enjoyment
- Go smaller: Pick corona, petit corona, or cigarillos — they burn faster and finish before your fingers freeze.
- Pair it right: A hot coffee, tea, or spiced cider makes a major quality boost to a winter smoke.
- Stay warm: Keep your cigars in a small humidor or case so they don’t dry out in the cold.
