The weather in Indy is still making up its mind, but the warm weather will come soon. You’re probably like me, feeling angsty about firing up the grill, prepping the motorcycle for riding season, and getting the patio prepped for smoking outside on a warm summer night. Don’t be like me and forget to stock up on various cigars. I was grilling hamburgers and wanted a cigar, but all I had was dark, heavy maduros. Which left me digging through sticks I didn’t care to enjoy at that moment. Here are cigars we carry that made Cigar Aficionados “Top 25 of 2023” list!
