Any cigar aficionado knows that choosing the right cigar is paramount. Now that summer is upon us, the time has come to select the perfect cigar to enjoy with friends and family. Everyone wants to choose one that elevates the smoking experience and makes it as amazing as possible. Here are four tips for choosing a new type of cigar for the summer season.

Consider the Body of the Cigar

There are three categories: full-bodied, medium-bodied, and mild-bodied. A full-bodied cigar has a strong flavor and a higher nicotine content. Medium-bodied cigars are perfect for new smokers and balance the flavor and strength. Anyone looking for a lighter option would likely prefer a mild-bodied cigar with a lower nicotine content.

Select a Cigar Based on Shape

Cigars come in two shapes: parejos and figurados. Remember that a cigar’s size and shape can impact its flavor and burn. The first type is a classically shaped cigar with one end open and the other rounded and needing to be cut. Any other type is a bullet-shaped figurado with a closed end tapered into a sharp point. The concentrated smoke in this type of cigar provides a fuller flavor.

Look for Excellent Quality

The quality of the cigar should be one of the key deciding factors. Any cigar that you ultimately choose should be well-constructed. Examine the cigar to ensure that it has tightly wrapped tobacco leaves and a smooth exterior, and remember that quality directly affects the overall smoking experience. Choose a cigar free from imperfections and inconsistencies to ensure you make the best choice.

Know Your Preferences and Ask for Recommendations

Before choosing the best summer cigar, you must know exactly what you prefer. The warmer weather may call for a lighter and smoother flavor, so consider this. Also, ask yourself what the atmosphere will be like while enjoying your new cigar. Will you be by the water where it is a bit cooler, or gathered around the backyard with a large group of friends? This may dictate if you want a cigar that will burn a little longer or is slightly stronger with a richer flavor.

Don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations if unsure what to choose. Find someone with plenty of experience selecting the best cigar for summer and tell them what you are looking to get out of the smoking experience. Ask this person to tell you about their own experiences and to make recommendations for choosing the perfect cigar.

There are so many different types of cigars to choose from, which can be confusing. The right advice can make it easier for anyone from a new smoker to someone with years of experience to choose the best new cigar for summer and enjoy smoking like never before. Research any type of cigar you might be interested in so you can figure out which one is right for you.
