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?

  1. I don’t smoke when i trap shoot….smoke gets in your eyes…next thing you know your doing a dick chenney…picking buckshot out of your neighbors ass….

    • No stogies for me either, but a fine bowl of tobacco enjoyed in a pipe after shooting would be my choice.

  2. Hmmm… For that fancy gun up there? Drew Estate Liga Privada #9.
    Remington 870 – Rocky Patel Edge – Corojo
    Marlin 55 “Goose Gun” – La Flor Dominicana “Digger” maduro
    Mossberg 930 – La Gloria Cubana Serie R #7

  3. I’d like to see more knife reviews. IMO, knives are a very natural and appropriate product that partner with guns (self-defense, hunting, whatever) than some of the products I’ve seen featured.

  4. I am smoking a Rocky Patel at action pistol league tonight. Does that count?

    Not very tactical, I know.

  5. Current favorites are Padron 1964 Anniversary, Rocky Patel Vintage 2003 Cameroon and La Fleur Dominicanas (still trying to figure out which of these I prefer).

  6. For any firearm related activity, but it particular anything involving shotguns, you gotta go with an Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story. For the obvious reasons.

  7. Harry Reid says a guy told him cigars kill thousands of people a year.

    President Obama says we need some soul-searching about cigars.

    DOJ’s Holder says he only heard recently about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms allowing illegally bought Havana’s to cross the border.

  8. Obviously a lip of grizz wintergreen or a marbolro light will be adorning the mouth of the 930 user, and most definitely the maverick 88 shooter as well, they understand that getting the job done doesnt take a lot of money, but it should take duct tape
