Now that the good weather seems to have arrived, everybody will be able to enjoy their best wishes outdoors, and in this case, Habanos aficionados will be able to enjoy our favorite vitolas at aperitif\u00a0time, be it in the patio of a Cordovan house, on the terrace of a restaurant in Madrid’s Puerta de Alcal\u00e1\u00a0or on an Asturian beach.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\"\"And at the beginning of summer temperatures, open-air places will be useful at aperitif time to pair our Habanos<\/b> with those drinks and snacks we prefer in times of short but unhurried smokes to get the best minutes of those moments.<\/span><\/p>

One of the habits of many smokers is that while waiting for lunch or dinner they want to enjoy smaller vitolas that are not particularly strong so that their palates are well prepared for what comes next.<\/span><\/p>

Tasting a Havana cigar with a zurito or a short beer, with a fino or simply anticipating the wine we are going to enjoy at lunch or dinner, is a most pleasant moment to pair the tobacco flavors with our aperitif drinks.<\/span><\/p>

So now that the doors are “open” (in the best sense of the expression) to cigar smokers so that we can sit quietly on the terrace of our choice and enjoy our Havana cigar alone or in the company of others, it is time to think about the vitolas of our choice for those moments.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"It is a selection in which there are several characteristics that are part of each of these Habanos<\/b>, as all of them correspond to smaller vitolas, which means rather short smokes to keep us company in those minutes of the aperitif time.<\/span><\/p>

In our quartet chosen to commemorate the arrival of the times of open-air terraces, the first of them is the Romeo and Julieta Club Kings<\/b>, whose vitola de galera is a Mareva, which has the honor of having been the first of the Habanos to inaugurate the Retro Series, whose cigars arrive in the cellars in five-cigar metal packs in line with the designs of the 1960s.<\/span><\/p>

Another one of those selected is the modern Quai D’Orsay No. 50<\/b>, a brand that until not so many years ago was only made for French tobacco shops and now we can taste it anywhere in the world, with an absolute certainty as to its overall flavors and very much in line with the lower strengths of Habanos’ vitolarium.<\/span><\/p>

The third is a Habano that stands out especially for its strength, such as the Bolivar Petit Coronas<\/b>, which, being another Mareva, has a great character and strength from the very first puffs, in accordance with the blend of tobaccos in its filler.<\/span><\/p>

Finally, we also have the Robustos from the Montecristo Open Line, which in its tasting offers a short time, not much more than 45\/50 minutes, in a journey in which we can face a medium strength character, while very rich and tasty traces of dark tobacco grown in the plains of Pinar del Rio (Cuba).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
