We know from the Bible, in Ecclesiastes 3:1 that to everything there is a season… is that true in selecting the best autumn cigars? If so, how do manufacturers and marketers address the seasonal needs of smokers? Does a cigar lover gauge a cigar by their immediate attraction through that first taste or smell, or perhaps the appeal of the packaging?
The whole idea of knowing how to choose the best autumn cigars makes one ponder what thoughts go into marketing cigars to sell in the autumn. Does the marketing message have to appeal to a larger demographic because of the season, or to a smaller one based on shapes, size, and flavor, or a loyal younger, hip group of cigar smokers?
Is a smoker, wanting to choose the best autumn cigars going to be looking for a specific fall-induced flavor? Autumn conjures up thoughts of licorice, and leather and spice, perhaps driving buyers to select the best autumn cigars that match those thoughts. The best autumn cigars may come at a price point that serves a limited market, and changing flavors may not appeal to diverse tastes. Sweetness, balanced strength, Cuban brands or Dominican blends… what considerations go into making the best autumn cigars? Do the best autumn cigars draw out fans of woody, musky bold flavors?
It is easy to think of apples and cinnamon flavors that instill memories of fall… the warm autumn sun falls upon the face looking to vibrant crimson and amber hues, as leaves trickle to the ground, and the sound of laughter break the silence, as children play hide and seek in the trees.
