Every year I get lots of questions about which cigars I recommend for Halloween. Sometimes I get the sense that people want me to recommend cigars with spooky names, like 'The Vampire's Viso Oscuro' (not a real cigar, but not a terrible name either) or something like that. Truthfully, this is the season where I'm most likely to recommend some cigars over others. But mostly, they're cigars that match the changing weather. As the temperature starts to drop, and the evenings become 'perfect weather', I start looking for cigars that offer a more stout experience. In this video, I'll take you through 6 cigars that are tailored for the cooler weather. These blends offer a bolder experience with explosive flavor.

If the wrapper leaf offers a bulk of the cigars flavor (as it often does), this cigar should produce a unique experience with Southern Draw's patented balanced flavor profile. And the only way to find out is with a cut and a light.

Certainly, there are few people who are ready to answer this question like Fabian is. Let's see what this older, taller, white goatee'd version of myself has to say.
