Maybe I should have gone straight to the source, but I have faith in you all. I was wondering if CB or even the cigar industry in general has a seasonal schedule? ie more maddies and oscuros in the fall and winter and more cammies, naturals, and CT wrappers in spring and summer. If this is a rediculous question and you all feel that it was a waste of time, feel free to punish me with a massive infulx of cigars ;)

perfectly good question. my guess would be the same as your's probably, leaves may mature at certain times of the year, like flowers in spring vs winter bloomers, and that could account for what you have noticed.

I deflowered a girl once in the spring... I'll never forget it. It was a 67 Impala (bench seats).

My 2ยข would be ...

... is that when the tobacco is grown, or I should say what time it is ready for harvest, has nothing to do with it ... since the leaves have to be aged first before they are rolled. It is a somewhat complex process that sometimes can take 3 to 5 years, if not longer, depending on how those leaves are going to be used in the building of the cigar.

It's all in the timing, and bringing all of these different variables together ...

My best answer to your question, is that there are no set times when various cigars are ready for release. The biggest factor would be, is when the person who is in charge of their release feels that they have met the criteria and standards set for them.

There are exceptions that we all know about, for example, the seasonal cigars that come out around the holidays (such as Fuente's BTL, Work of Art, etc.) ... but these speciality lines have been carefully planned for years for release at that predetermined time.

Other factories may have similar ones they release at certain times of the year also, but I am more familiar with the Fuente lines ...

Thanks a lot guys! It all makes perfect sense. Maybe I just look at the darker over the lighter in these cold winter months.

Makes a lot of sense. People tend towards heavier foods in the winter. Heavier foods needs a more full bodied drink. (I myself prefer stronger Ales in the Winter.) Heavier food and drink match better with fuller bodied cigars.
