For example, smoking gloves for winter or cigar gloves, cigar tubes, and others. So, if you’re having issues with having to smoke inside during winter and be guided on how to do it outdoors, continue reading.
Accessories for smoking outside in the winter
You may find it difficult to fully enjoy your cigar if you’re freezing out. Be aware that smoking a cigar can take a couple of hours depending on which one you’re puffing, -if you want to know more about this, please visit “How to smoke a cigar“-. That’s why if your plan is to smoke outside in cold weather, we recommend you keep yourself warm.
The following list may help you to enjoy your cigars when smoking outdoors in the cold:
- Cigar lighters for the cold: Usually, popular cigar lighters need to be kept warm before lighting. Most of them, struggle to function properly when the weather is really cold or windy. A great tip is to keep your lighter in your pocket, that way it will be kept warm and nice. A perfect lighter for extreme weather conditions is the dual or triple-flame one.
- Smoking gloves for winter or cigar gloves: The cold winter weather is a synonym for wearing gloves when going outside so a perfect cigar glove is needed. Wearing gloves can be challenging for the perfect grip for cigar smoking. However, fingerless gloves can be the perfect solution. This type of gloves will help you to keep your hands warm but also allow you to handle your cigar well.
- Cigar tube: The cigar tubes are small tubes that allow you to store and hold your cigars, typically made of aluminum. This accessory is essential for protecting your cigars, especially if you don’t have a humidor.
