In a few days summer finally arrives, and that usually means rest, trips and time spent in the open air, all activities that suit Cuban mini cigars smokers very well. So, to whet your appetite, here are five recommendations to enjoy these endless days with some of our favourite cigarillos.
1 – Barbecue with friends
This is one of the usual plans to welcome the summer. The good weather invites you to go out into the garden, light the embers and gather around the fire. Typical products such as hamburgers and steaks are mixed with others such as corn on the cob, potatoes or roasted tomatoes. And yes, both during the preparation of the feast and throughout the day, enjoy a longer smoke format with a lot of personality such as the Partagás Serie Puritos.
2 – A coffee without rushing
Mornings stretch out in summer and coffees are no longer espressos drunk standing up and in a hurry. The style of coffee depends on the person’s taste, but the pace changes during this time of year. And although a cigarillo is the perfect accompaniment to coffee on any day of the year, with that extra peace and quiet it can be even more enjoyable. For those moments we suggest a Cohiba White Club, with a smoother blend than the usual one from the exclusive Cuban brand.
3 – A day at the beach
With calm, turquoise waters or with a high level of bravura, with miles of sand or flanked by cliffs, with the typical crowds of the season or wonderfully hidden… There are a thousand types of beaches, but any of them is a pleasant setting for enjoying a Montecristo Open Mini in the open air, with a mild-medium strength and an intense flavour.
4 – A terrace with a view
You know that moment when the heat of the summer evenings subsides and the street gets livelier? The popular terraces fill up and the breeze is welcome. And if it’s a rooftop terrace with views or background music, the plan becomes almost unbeatable. Unless you add the balanced and enveloping aromas of a Romeo y Julieta Club. Then, yes, it will be perfect.
5 – An unforgettable sunset
Sunsets are one of those moments that, although they happen every day, only if you stop to watch them do they acquire greatness. And this is especially true in summer. Whether in an idyllic coastal spot or in the middle of a big city, sitting down to say goodbye to the sun for a few minutes is a luxury, like the one you enjoy lighting up a Trinidad Short, a cigarillo as elegant and mild as those last rays of sunshine.
