To brave inclement weather shows true dedication to the wonderful hobby that is cigars. Like the man who’s shorts are too tight in his seat, the cold weather smoker need not smile while he bundles up for a sub-freezing stogie session, but he does. When many might close up the humidor until late spring, the cold weather smoker bravely smokes on.
So let me propose the following: The next time you’re smoking a cigar in a perfect setting, pause a moment and think of the cold weather smoker preparing to risk frostbite just for the hobby he loves. Personally, as I make my most difficult decision of the night — Cuban Cohiba, Montecristo, or something else — I know I will think of my friends to the north deciding between gloves, hats, or space heaters! Such reflection is important because many of us will end up cold weather stogie guys ourselves far too soon.
