    This was the weather for 2/1/22


    I have seen a ton of reviews and I have a difficult time seeing how you are getting an idea of the cigar's flavor when the thermometer is hitting 16 degrees at its warmest. I'm sure everyone would like to see how that cigar burns in that type of weather since you have to smoke outside.
    I dont really see why low temperature and low humidity would have any negative effect on a cigars taste or burn.

    I have smoked down to -5 degrees this winter and had no problems with taste or burn compared to taste or burn at summer temps in the 80's frequently, but with low humidity as Wyoming doesn't really get above 40% humidity at the most in every temperature and season, so I don't feel the weather here has much if any effects on my cigars, aside from high winds which we get often as the average elevation for all of Wyoming is at least 4500ft or more, so we always have some wind.

    I'm able to avoid the burn issues wind seems to cause as we have a little glass shelter, exactly like you would find at a bus stop, to smoke in. Plus there's always the fully enclosed and attached to the facility, big smoking room on the opposite side of the facility from me, so i rarely smoke in there unless its pretty cold as it tends to be a bit warmer than the shelter by my room, likely from picking up a little bit of the facilities heat since its attached, but still 100% glass, so not at all insulated.

    Is the burn at low temperatures your reasoning behind suggesting pics of the cigar burning, in my reviews?

    The rest of my review obviously already covers tastes and burn too, so I've got the flavor thing covered at least

    I could include temperature and humidity in my reviews if you feel it would be an improvement.

    I friggin' LOVE cigars

    I'm sure your cigar is stored in a warm room of about 70 degrees and at around 65% humidity. If you take that cigar outside where it's 55 degrees colder and 25% lower humidity that wrapper is going to crack and start to unravel. The inside of the cigar once it is lit the filler is still holding a 65+% humidity level. When the cigar is being smoked, the moisture in the burning filler is being released as steam and drawn through the body of the much colder cigar. The colder cigar filler fills with condensation and can't hold all the humidity and the filler starts to get nasty. This also makes the cigar swell more making the wrapper even more prone to cracking. I would say that by the halfway mark that cigar is going to taste like garbage. This is why I wouldn't waste a cigar out in the cold unless it was a cheap yard gar and even then it's not worth the time or effort unless I'm shoveling snow.

    I'd like to know if anyone else here smokes outside in zero-degree temps.

    I haven't had any more wrapper or other problems at colder temperatures than I have at higher temperatures honestly.

    Have had cracking and/or peeling wrappers with pretty much every maker on occasion, regardless of temperature or humidity. Sometimes it just happens with one.

    Have smoked plenty of cigars to the point I couldn't hold them anymore in summer and winter temperatures, so never had any issues with taste based on smoking environment.

    Everyone's palate is very different though, so you may have taste issues with winter temperatures while I don't.

    You can never know with everyone's palates being so different

    I friggin' LOVE cigars
