  After the Fourth of July
-----
 


I really can’t think of a more appropriate time to enjoy cigars than a Fourth of July Barbeque.

The Fourth of July is the quintessential American holiday. It’s a celebration of our independence as a country and the freedoms afforded to us as Americans. And there’s no better example of this than the Fourth of July Barbeques we all attended this weekend. Ironically, our nation’s fundamentals are being challenged every day as business owners are being told that they cannot permit smoking in their own establishment (in some cases even tobacco stores!), and homeowners are being told they can no longer enjoy a cigar in their own apartment. Even ocean fans have gone from sunbather to common criminal as smoking has been made illegal at some of our country’s beaches. So much for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness! But, at least for now - we are still safe in the comfort of our own back yards! I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Fourth of July weekend.

With summer now OFFICIALLY underway, the days are long and your cigars should be too! Here are some of my favorite large formats perfect for hot summer days.

Of course, our actual in-store selections are more substantial than what we have online. We will continue to try and update our website and get new products available for sale whenever possible. However, please don’t hesitate to call or email one of our stores and find out what the latest and greatest arrivals are!

Happy Summer, Everyone!

Davidoff Classic No. 1
A classic Lancero format, the Davidoff No. 1 was among the very first shapes to ever have a Davidoff label on it, created back in 1968. It is an elegant cigar that smokes with a wonderful creaminess and smooth body. While the body develops throughout the smoke, the strength and intensity remain at a medium level making it quite an enjoyable smoke for a hot day!

AVO XO Maestoso
The AVO XO blend is a great medium bodied blend. The Maestoso is a Churchill that smokes cool and effortless. There are great flavors of tea, nuts, and floral notes along with an herbaceous quality that makes it a welcomed companion to a pool-side Gin and Tonic.

Super Selection No. 13
Davidoff makes the Super Selection exclusively for our two Manhattan stores. It has an amazingly easy draw, with rich flavors that are more common in stronger cigars, however the balance and grace of this blend keep it restrained enough to enjoy it earlier in the afternoon.

Ashton Maduro #60
Looks can be deceiving, and in this case that’s true. This monstrous, dark cigar looks like it would be the perfect night-cap after a huge steak, and perhaps it would be, however I prefer this cigar earlier. The rich Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper adds some subtle sweetness to the classic Ashton profile that helps elevate the body to a medium-full range and brings some greater depth and complexity as well.

Fonseca ‘Antero’ Black Prince
This might be a most appropriate once the coals on the fire are starting to burn out, the sun is starting to set, and the thought of having one more burger is finally out of the question. A Davidoff New York exclusive, this “A”-sized cigar is rich and full bodied with a spicy earthy core of solid tobacco flavors and a touch of leather. It should be smoked while resting in a reclined position with a beverage close by. Stars in the sky, and the sound of crashing ocean waves are recommended but not required.
