THE TOP 6 CIGARS FOR SUMMER

The summer is a time of year when most people in the UK look forward to relaxing, taking a holiday, and spending time with family and friends in the sun and by the sea. It brings us that sense of freedom and independence to do the things we enjoy most while the weather is on our side..most of the time. This is the perfect time of year to enjoy a nice cigar. Summer means meeting up with friends, having parties in the garden, soaking up rays outside the pub, enjoying outdoor sports, and having BBQs. The warm weather has arrived and we’ll need to relish it, as it’s never long before it changes in the UK. Summer cigars have a special fragrance and aroma as the tobacco leaf is kept and burned in its ideal conditions of hot weather, similar to Cuba. When a cigar is lit in summer, it will release its full potential of flavours. Summer cigars preferably are light to medium strength. Taylors Tobacconists recommend the following premium Cuban cigars: 1.

1. Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2

When cigar connoisseurs head out to the golf course or meet for drinks with their friends, this is one of the first blends they reach for.

In addition, Hoyo de Monterrey cigars are ideal for weddings this summer, whether the cigars are for the groomsmen or the wedding reception. 2.

Which Cigar will you choose this summer?

During social gatherings or special events, smoking cigars with friends outdoors in the warm weather adds a special touch. Summer is the ideal season to smoke cigars because smoking outside maximises our opportunities to enjoy them especially as not everyone has access to a cigar-friendly man cave or a quality cigar lounge when the weather is uncooperative. It is easier to smoke a cigar in the summer since there is more freedom of where to do it. As with everything else in life, a moderate amount of cigar smoking can bring you joy and brightness. In fact, the indigenous people of South America associated a cigar smoked outdoors in the summer nights with good luck and healing powers. While we can’t promise these powers, we’re sure you’ll find a cigar for your perfect summer in our range.
