Top 5 Cigars For Autumn

That cold breeze, earlier sunsets and the orange leaves covering the ground can only mean one thing - autumn is here.

And with autumn comes some incredible flavours: cinnamon, spice, nutmeg, apple and pumpkin.

We look for those flavours in our food and drinks, but what about cigars?

Today, I’m going through five cigars that are perfect for Autumn.

This cigar is full-bodied and contains tobacco from Honduras and Nicaragua. You’ll find it produces notes of coffee, cocoa and spice. It has a warming feel to it, well-suited for those brisk evenings.

Secondly, we have a Cuban cigar from a brand which is considered the benchmark for many Havana smokers. The Montecristo Petit Edmundo.

This Petit Edmundo is slightly shorter than a robusto but boasts a 52-ring gauge, so you’ll still get a decent enjoyment time out of it.

These are medium-full in body, and you can expect flavours of spices and herbs, alongside some fruit notes, honey and gingerbread.

The name translates to ‘Soul of Fire’, and this cigar certainly lives up to it. It’s a full-bodied Nicaraguan puro, with tobacco grown across different regions of Nicaragua.

Expect bold notes of spice, pepper, earth and roasted coffee, with a subtle sweetness developing as you smoke. It’s the kind of cigar that brings plenty of warmth and intensity, making it a great companion for those colder autumn evenings.

This is a medium-bodied cigar with a rich and naturally sweet character, thanks to its Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. You can expect notes of coffee, cocoa, cedar and spice, with a touch of sweetness developing throughout the smoke. It has plenty of flavour without being too heavy, making it a great choice for a crisp autumn day.

This is a medium to full-bodied cigar that showcases the character of Nicaraguan tobacco, with flavours of pepper, spice, roasted coffee and wood. There’s plenty of warmth and depth here, making it a great cigar to reach for as the evenings get colder.

So there you have it, five cigars that I think are perfect for those cooler autumn evenings. I hope you can find something that's perfect for you!
