The Summer Solstice begins June 20th into June 21st! We’re a little under a month before summer begins and we couldn’t be happier here at JR Cigars.

With a mild winter that just passed us, we’re looking forward to enjoying longer days, trips to the beach, grilling our favorite foods, and relaxing poolside for hours on end.

One thing that pairs perfectly with all of those things is a cigar in your hand. Personally, I find myself smoking more cigars during the summer months due to the beautiful weather we experience.

So, we compiled a list of cigars for you to enjoy throughout your summer. From My Father Cigars to Drew Estate Cigars, here are the Top 5 Cigars for Summer.

First up on our Top 5 Cigars for the Summer is the My Father Le Bijou 1922.

This Full-Bodied cigar is perfect to light up on one of those relaxing summer nights after a full day of swimming at the beach or in a pool. Standing at 5.62 x 55, this Nicaraguan puro dawns a sleek and delicious Habano Oscuro leaf for the wrapper.

Next up on our Top 5 Cigars for the Summer, we have the famous Liga Privada T52 from Drew Estate gracing their presence on our list. At first, this private blend was made for the employees over at Drew Estate to enjoy on their own. However, we are the lucky ones once this brand went public and available to the masses!

Being Full-Bodied like the cigar on our list, this is another stogie I’d enjoy after a long day under the sun.  Stick your feet in the pool once the sun sets, light up and enjoy.

Cloaked in a Habano Connecticut wrapper, the Liga Privada T52 has a binder from Brazil and fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras.

Some flavor notes you may detect in your 75 minute smoke session of the T52 are pepper, floral tones, cinnamon, and cocoa.
