Le Printemps du Cigare!

You've felt it, spring is here. Nature awakens with your senses! Soon your beach towel will replace the fleecy blankets by the fireplaces. Time calls for the blossoming of sensations through the voice of pleasure. And what better companion than the Cigar?

Unfortunately, among the successive cancellations of spring festivities, the famous annual Habanos Festival is no exception. It will not be taking place, at least not in its conventional form. In fact, for the first time since its creation, the 2021 edition will be reinvented in line with the latest trends. Habanos World Days May 4 to 6. The countdown has begun, and coming soon from your living rooms, a journey to the heart of the Cuban homelands of your favorite puros.

Many of us thought that life would be back on track by now. The fact is, spirits are growing impatient, and the desire to return to a more festive rhythm is awakening in each and every one of us. After all, living together means living better. The mere prospect of one day relaxing on a restaurant terrace with a spritz and a cigar has become almost surreal. Nevertheless, let's maintain our optimism. While we wait for better days, maybe it's just a matter of letting go. Let's turn our gaze inward for a few moments and open ourselves up to this world of new experiences. Cigar smoking, somewhere, is also an opportunity to put time on pause, to meditate and collect ourselves for a better life. Be creative! A walk in the woods or fields will allow you to fully appreciate your precious cigars. We've selected for you a list of "Spring" cigars perfectly suited to outdoor tastings, during breezy walks.

Outdoor cigar smoking

When smoking outdoors, there are a few essential parameters to consider. You're likely to find yourself in places where the breeze will make lighting difficult. Go out prepared and don't forget your accessories, cigar cutters and lighters will, as usual, be your best allies. It's fair to say that matches aren't entirely appropriate for outdoor use. It's also a good idea to choose cigars that are easy to draw. You'll find some excellent lighting tips in our article on the subject.
