Question of the Day: Which Cigar for a Purdey Sidelock?

Daily Caller has a piece by American Hunter’s Kyle Wintersteen on avoiding the pitfalls of navigating a round of sporting clays as you enjoy a stogie. While offering helpful hints such as keeping your ‘gar in the 6 o’clock position to clear your field of view and restricting its length to no more than 5″ (lest you singe your support arm), for Wintersteen a cigar is apparently never just a cigar . . .

No, it’s also a fashion statement. So much so that he prefers to coordinate his smoke’s wrapper with his gun’s furniture. “Corojo is another good pairing for Turkish walnut. For English walnut you’ll want a lighter cigar, perhaps a Colorado claro. However, American walnut is rather dark. Go with a maduro.”

No word from Kyle on his choice to chuff while swinging the finely molded composite stock of a Mossy 930 SPX, but we’re sure someone’s rolling just the right smoke for it somewhere. What cigar will you be puffing when you’re lining up your next following pair?
