Cold weather cigar smoking

[neoflex]

I would agree that cold weather could definitely change the way a cigar tastes, not to mention that it changes your mindset too which could adversely change the way you perceive the way a cigar tastes in the same fashion if you decide to smoke your favorite smoke while being pissed off or nervous about something and find out it is not what you were expecting. I too experienced this, this past weekend. I knew I had to mow the lawn since the weather here is cold one day warm the next and decided to smoke a CFO Reserva 7. I lit the stick in the garage and smoked about a 1/4 inch while messing around in the garage and the stick tasted as it should but as I headed out in about 35 degree weather I too found the stick to be rather bland and lack luster, not to mention hard to keep lit. Finished up and headed back in the garage to finish the stick off and I did notice it pick up a little more flavor and keepig the cigar lit was no longer an issue. So I will agree with you that cold weather could effect a smoke. Will it effect it everytime, Probably not but part of the equation could just be mental.
