Winter Cigar Smoking

winterWinter is quickly approaching. Although it may still be over 90 degrees where you live, in just a matter of weeks, the cold weather is going to pour in once again. The humidity and ambiance temperature are two determining factors if you want to have a good puff of cigar during the winter months, otherwise get ready to face the usual flavor loss and burn issues.
There is also the risk of mold growth in humid weather, so getting a finely calibrated humidor to put your cigars would ensure their safety. Another problem for cigar lovers which comes with cold weather is a kind of plague by worms called lacioderma which lay their eggs in the cigar and make tiny holes through the wrapper. In this case, the infected cigars should be completely removed and destroyed and the unaffected cigars need to be kept in some safe and not so humid place.
While you are outside in a cold weather, it is not advisable to go for a mild cigar simply because it is just not enough. Though, it can be considered a good pick when you are smoking inside a lounge or something like that. And if you are outside, smoking a medium to full flavor cigar is recommended.
