For most of us, cold weather is upon us and doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon. I’ll admit, it is tough transitioning from smoking cigars until 9 p.m. in the summertime, to trying to your cigar outside before it’s pitch black in the wintertime.

If you’re like me, you will find ways to enjoy some cigars in the freezing cold months. Whether it’s at a lounge indoors, your garage with a space heater, or a warm fire pit in your backyard. Fire pits aren’t only a “winter activity”. I’ve had most of my fire pits in the summertime.

However, if you’re looking to continue your cigar-loving hobby, a fire pit in the winter months is the way to go. There’s nothing like enjoying your favorite smoke alongside a bonfire. So, for this week’s top 5, we’re doing our Top5 Fire Pit cigars you can enjoy in 2021.

Don’t forget to get this affordable limited-time sampler at the link below.

Leading off on our Top 5 Fire Pit Cigars of 2021 is a smoke that recently came out from the hands and minds of AJ Fernandez and Rafael Nodal. The Aging Room Rare Collection comes in a 4.50 x 52 “Festivo” size for this sample and is the perfect shape and size to enjoy next to a fire pit.

With it being one of the smaller sizes on this list, the Rare Collection by Aging Room packs a lot of punch with each puff. Utilizing special Nicaraguan tobaccos from AJ’s farm, which is named after his mother, the Rare Collection was expertly rolled in three special sizes for all to enjoy.

This medium to full-bodied smoke has delicious flavor notes of coffee, cedar, fresh-cut grass, leather, and cinnamon on the backend.

Arriving in a box of 10, the Aging Room Rare Collection is extremely affordable, as well as a go-to smoke if you’re not looking to be next to the fire pit all night long!

If you’re looking for a cigar that’s a tad bit bigger than the Aging Room Rare Collection Festivo, then the Tatuaje Cabaiguan Guapos size is the perfect smoke to have next to a Fire Pit. This 5.62 x 54 medium-bodied smoke was created by Pete Johnson and crafted at the famous My Father Factory. Created to emulate blends from the past, the Cabaiguan is blended with the perfect combination of tobaccos we’ve had in a long time.

Cloaked in an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, the Cabaiguan uses Nicaraguan tobaccos to make up the binder and the filler. Showcasing delicious flavor notes such as earth, cocoa, hints of espresso, and some fresh-cut grass, the Cabaiguan will fulfill all the needs your palate looks for in a cigar.

Available in five different sizes, that come in a box of 20 and a box of 24, the Tatuaje Cabaiguan is a staple in my fire pit cigar rotation I smoke every winter.

Landing smack dab in the middle of our Top 5 Fire Pit Cigars of 2021 is a vintage, legendary smoke from one of our favorite companies to collaborate with and smoke from. The Macanudo Vintage 2010 in the 6.62 x 54 Toro size is a cigar for the ones who can spend all night next to a fire pit without freezing their butts off!

The Macanudo Vintage 2010 was the industry’s very first vintage cigar, manufactured way back in 1984. Fast-forward almost forty years later, Macanudo released it to fans everywhere for all to enjoy. 2010 was a fantastic year for crops and tobaccos all over South America, and you can tell by smoking this exclusive smoke.

Cloaked in a Connecticut Shade wrapper, the Macanudo Vintage 2010 has binder and filler tobaccos that hail from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras. Some flavor notes you may detect while smoking this medium-bodied classic are wood, vanilla, cocoa, and just the right amount of black pepper spice on the backend.

This cigar is aged up to five years and isn’t for the nonchalant cigar smoker. This is a stogie that should be treated with dignity and respect. If you’re the type of cigar smoker who will cherish a classic, then get yourself a box of twenty in either of the three different sizes of the Macanudo Vintage 2010 today!

It wouldn’t be right if we had a Top 5 Fire Pit Cigars list without a cigar that has “fire” in its name. Landing in the number four spot of our Top 5 Fire Pit Cigars of 2021 is the delightful Plasencia Alma Del Fuego. Available in the 5 x 50 Candente Robusto size, the Alma del Fuego pays tribute to Ometepe, an island between two volcanic mountains that is famed for producing the richest soils in the country.

This medium to full-bodied Nicaraguan puro has scrumptious flavor notes of cocoa, earth, leather, and dark roasted coffee on the backend. The aging process of the Alma del Fuego really accentuates all the different flavor notes you’ll experience while smoking this gem.

Available in two other sizes, that come in a box of 10, you can now grab the Plasencia Alma Del Fuego and enjoy this delectable cigar at all the fire pit parties you plan on having!

Rounding out our Top 5 Fire Pit Cigars list comes from a special event we at JR Cigars has been running all year long. The JR Ultimate 50th Anniversary is the perfect smoke to enjoy beside a fire pit this holiday season. This 6 x 54 Toro was created by master cigar maker AJ Fernandez. The original JR Ultimate was released in the ’70s. AJ Fernandez was able to maintain the original concept and blend, all while adding his twist to this delicious smoke.

Cloaked in an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, the JR Ultimate 50th Anniversary smoke is bound by Connecticut Broadleaf tobaccos, all while being filled with tobaccos that hail from Honduras. While smoking this medium to full-bodied gem, you may detect hints of earth, chocolate, black cherry, and espresso on the backend.

Only available in the one, 6 x 54 size, the JR Ultimate 50th Aniversary cigar comes in a gorgeous looking box of 10 and is available for a limited time, only at JR Cigars.com

We hope you enjoyed these five options you could enjoy by a fire pit!

Summer is officially over! Some of us will miss the hot weather, hours spent at the beach, and grilling endless food while your family is poolside.

The other half of us are ready to dive headfirst into the fall season. With fall comes pumpkin picking, spending hours on the couch watching football, or spending some much-needed time near a bonfire or fire pit.

There really is nothing like sitting fire pit side with a glass of scotch, whiskey, or a warm cup of coffee. What else would make that scenario even better?

Adding a cigar into the mix. Yes, the weather may be getting cooler, but that shouldn’t deter you away from enjoying a few more of your favorite cigars.

This week’s top list will go over some of our favorite cigars to smoke and enjoy while sitting next to a fire pit. Don’t forget to get this limited sampler right here today!

When Eduardo Fernandez purchased Tropical Tobacco from master blender Pedro Martin, Fernandez developed the delicious Casa Fernandez brand.

The Casa Fernandez Miami has been a game-changing cigar since 2011. Casa Fernandez Miami uses some of the finest tobaccos grown in the world from the Aganorsa farms in Esteli, Nicaragua. Something else that makes the Casa Fernandez Miami so special is that these cigars are rolled in Miami by expert Cuban rollers.

The Casa Fernandez Miami #54 Reserva Toro is a 6 x 54 smoke that is wrapped in the luxurious Mexican San Andres wrapper, with Nicaraguan tobaccos that make up the binder and filler.

Some dazzling flavor notes you’ll experience while smoking the Miami #54 Reserva are nuts, earth, spice, and sweet tobacco flavors on the backend. This full-bodied smoke with a Maduro shade wrapper is the perfect smoke to keep you warm and hearty all while sitting next to a warm fire pit.

Wild Hunter by Oscar is a cigar that is made up of two blends from the bestselling cigar maker, Oscar Valladares.

The unique packaging of the Wild Hunter was inspired by the sport of hunting, which always seems to coincide with the cooler months of the year. Oscar Valladares went back to his Honduran roots to create this new, highly rated cigar for his long-time fans.

The Wild Hunter comes in a 6 x 52 Toro and Toro Maduro that has all-natural Honduran tobaccos. This medium to full-bodied smoke has an oily, Maduro shade wrapper, that oozes rich and bold flavors.

Some flavor notes you’ll detect while smoking is chocolate, espresso, and earth. With a gorgeous camouflage cigar band, this cigar is the essential go-to smoke once the fall season is upon us.

Manufactured at Drew estate renowned factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, the Liga Privada Unico Serie should be a staple in your humidor. All the cigars in this series are different in size and recipe, making these even more unique.

Here at JR, we carry the entire Unico Serie, including the Papas Fritas, Dirty Rat, Feral Flying Pig and more! Today, we’re covering the popular Ratzilla that will be in this top sampler!

With a Connecticut Habano wrapper, a Brazilian binder, and fillers from Honduras and Nicaragua, the Ratzilla is a 6.25 x 46 medium to full-bodied cigar. Some delicious flavor notes you’ll enjoy while smoking the Ratzilla are pepper, leather, spice, and roasted coffee flavors.

The new Ramon Allones, who is partnered with General Cigars, has AJ Fernandez producing and distributing these classic Cuban brand cigars. The original Ramon Allones was Fernandez’s father’s favorite cigars when he started in the business.

So, I think it’s only fitting to have AJ Fernandez taking over this historical cigar company for years to come. The reason the original Ramon Allones is so historical is since this smoke was the first handmade cigar to feature a band wrapped around this oily stick.

The Ramon Allones by AJ Fernandez in the toro size is a vintage masterpiece that features a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, a Nicaraguan Corojo 99 binder, and Nicaraguan Corojo 99 and Nicaraguan Criollo 98 to make up the filler tobaccos.

This medium to full-bodied 6 x 52 smoke has complex notes of cedar, earth, cashews, espresso, and spice on the backend. Smoking this vintage cigar while fireside might be the best way to start up your fall season!

Last year, the stellar release of the Henry Clay War Hawk hit the cigar world like a wrecking ball. People all around the industry couldn’t get enough of that delicious smoke.

So, Altadis USA decided to rock the boat again by releasing the limited-edition spin-off Henry Clay War Hawk Rebellious. The Rebellious comes from the hands and minds of AJ Fernandez and Rafael Nodal.

Manufactured at AJ Fernandez’s factory in Nicaragua, the War Hawk Rebellious shipped out only 1,200 boxes in July of this year. This medium-bodied smoke is a Nicaraguan puro, with a golden, vintage Nicaraguan Habano wrapper.

Some flavor notes you may detect while smoking the War Hawk Rebellious are baking spices, pepper, cocoa, and coffee. With this gem being released in limited quantity, it’d be wise to get your hands on the Henry Clay War Hawk Rebellious sooner than later!
