As part of my 53 pound weight loss this past year, I have been power-walking 45 min to an hour each day. Most often I smoke a a cigar while doing it. Such a stick needs certain qualities:

- At least medium strength -- subtleties don't work pushing up a hill.
- Stays lit & burns straight-- Don't want to have to stop and relight or touch up even with the wind, the cold, the arms swaying and sometimes intermittent attention on my part.
- Likewise, it can't burn too hot or fast even under those conditions
- Last the whole walk or at least most of it.
- Taste good enough to make me want to do that walk!
- Not a premium-precious stick I only want to savor at sunset over a fine beverage, after a great meal, or that I will cry about if it gets dropped.

These requirements are even above from what I want in a golfing cigar since there is a lot of time while golfing in the cart or waiting at the tea or green to touch up, relight, start a new one, or otherwise deal with my smoke.

I have several that I rotate for the stroll, but one that has consistently met all of the above is the Rocky Patel Vintage 2003 Cameroon. Never have been a big RP fan (a friend of mine always pushing them on me!), but this one is quite good. They can be had for a reasonable price if look long and hard enough and worth a try, if you haven't had one.

if you're gonna lose weight through speed walking, remember it's not just about what you smoke, it's also about what you eat...

Also did Nutrisystem for 6 months, worked for me! 53 lbs in 6 months, now maintaining for 6 months with the walking and watching portion sizes....and lighting up instead of donuts!

Very nice! that is quite an accomplishment... keep up the good work!

I found exercising and smoking really didn't mesh well. I have to stop to smoke so having a long burner is important. Dry box your smokes. Intermix your work with lots of rest stops.

If your exercise allows you the lung capacity to smoke.. you maybe need to up the intensity.

I checked my Strunk and White and there is an appendix that says 'power walking' and 'cigar smoking' are not allowed in the same flow of an idea. But could be acceptable as a colloquial euphemism at best.

Of smoking or exercise?

^^^^

I vote smoking, that walking chit is for deer and tree huggers.

Who on earth smokes a cigar while power walking? That would be quite a site. Ha

Try race walking instead -you will be noticed. Smoke the cigar when you are more relaxed. Race walking is an Olympic event.

Well, I guess I'll answer your question.
1. Diesel, most I've tried fit your conditions.
2. La Herencia Cuban Oscuro Fuerte
3. 5 Vegas AAA
4. Punch
Some may denigrate my suggestions, but I smoke these on a regular basis and have few burn issues and I like them. I don't walk much, but I do sit in the breezes of my porch.

Hope this helps.

For something like this I would actually recommend 50 ring gauge and up. A corona, petite corona or lancero won't stay lit as well.

yah 50 rg...Camachos, La Aurora, Perdomo, AJ Fernandez New World, San Lotano, EP Carillo, Kristoff are among my regular walking cigars...robustos and toros...


Congrats on the weight loss and good luck keeping it off. I try to get an hour walk in everyday and usually have a cigar while I'm walking. I don't power walk, though. I go at a 3 mph pace...not losing weight, but not gaining either.

love the clause...

may I quote you?

Partagas Black Label

Never had one of those, what's it like?

My normal pace is a slow stroll. Occasionally I kick it up to a medium saunter.

I walk at about 4 mph and usually do 2-3 miles now that my knee won't allow any running anymore. Personally, I can't imagine smoking a cigar and enjoying it at anything faster than a stroll.

I did once won a bet by smoking a CAO Brazilia while doing a 5 mile training run with a friend but it sure was not enjoyable.

I hear the Cigar Smoking Power Walk is going to be a sanctioned event in the 2020 Summer Olympics8-[
It's a 10 mile walk and you must smoke two CAO Brazilia Amazons to the nub[bombed]
