Top 10 Cigars To Enjoy at a BBQ

A good BBQ brings the heat - as do the layers of dark, savory Ligero at the core of Inferno by Oliva cigars. A full-bodied blend seamlessly rolled in a dark Nicaraguan Habano wrapper that goes great with a beer and a fat burger topped with everything.

That meaty T-bone you've had your eye on? Here's a full-flavored blend to help you finish off: dressed in an oily, near-black Mexican San Andrés capa, Onyx Esteli cigars smoke medium-full, with peppery spice, wood and semi-sweet notes.

Nica Rustica cigars are skillfully hand crafted by Drew Estate, a belly-filling blend of Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, San Andres Negro binders, and a spicy rub of straight Nicaraguan fillers. The finishing touch to your tenderloin dinner.

"Low and slow" - it's the BBQ mantra. So it is with La Aurora Barrel Aged cigars, whose sweet Dominican & peppery Nicaraguan tobaccos have all been aged 4 years in Dominican oak barrels once used for aging rum. Worth the wait.

Rocky Patel Rosado cigars are true RP premiums blended with mellower, long-aged Nicaraguan & Dominican tobaccos. Priced right to share with your block party picnic pals that will eventually hit you up for a cigar while you're at the grill.

601 La Bomba smokes with the delicate touch of a ghost pepper steak rub: all-Nicaraguan tobaccos are finished in a savory Habano to make this potent, extra-strength smoke in a Nicaraguan puro format. Experienced smokers preferred…

Five different tobaccos from the Dominican's Cibao Valley - one is a 25-year-aged leaf - are combined to create Avo Classic, rolled in silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrappers. Expect a mellow, creamy smoke that's great for around the firepit.

For the Kentucky Fire Cured, Drew Estate has found a way to channel that savory wood-fired flavor into a premium cigar: Virginia and Kentucky tobaccos are fire-cured over hickory, maple, and oak logs for an extra-smoky profile.

Camacho Criollo cigars take Camacho's usual boldness, and dials it back with a Cubano filler that's perfectly encased in a special 1998 Criollo wrapper. What's left behind is a generous helping of flavor, perfect at nearly any time of day.

While it's a beefier, Habano-wrapper RyJ that's presented in larger-than-average sizes, but we've found the Romeo by Romeo y Julieta to still be accessible enough for any of your pals who pull in for an impromptu herf.
