Lighting in the wind?

[cigar no baka]

IMHO, wind ruins a good cigar. It causes the cigar to burn hot and uneven. It also blows away the smoke from your face. The aroma of the smoke that encircles your head is my favorite part of the smoking experience.

I don't let a stiff wind ruin my cigar. I can ususally find a cubbyhole that is fairly protected, and too add to that, I use my body to block a good deal of the wind. But as you said, if you let the wind hit your cigar, it will ruin it.
