You’ve got your travel ashtray lined up, permission from your significant other, and high hopes of enjoying a cigar in your vehicle like the aficionado that you are!  The only question left unanswered is, “what should you smoke in your mobile lounge?”  Whether you’ve got a fancy Xikar ashtray or an old coffee can, we’ve picked out five cigars that will make you look like a professional behind the wheel.

Each of these boom sticks has at least two of these characteristics in common:

• Big on flavor, because nuances are for leather chairs or porch swings
• One-hand lighting, because steering wheels don’t turn themselves
• Thick ring gauge, because flaky ash is a distraction you don’t need

LFD Chisel Maduro

Big on flavor and convenience, the LFD Chisel was made for circumstances just like this.  The Chisel shape allows us to cut it quickly and one-handed by pressing the sides of the chisel towards each other until we hear a popping sound, creating a small airway that’s more than enough to smoke this cigar.  Furthermore, this cigar holds its ash like a champ, making it one of the best road companions on the market.  

Dunbarton Mi Querida Gordita

Sometimes you want flavor to smack you right in the face and overcome whatever you might’ve just ate or whatever work you’re running away from.  In situations like these, the 4 x 48 Mi Querida from Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust is a shoo-in.  Not only will you be able to drop this entire cigar into the tray once you’re finished (the first and last ash), you’ll also be wishing you brought a few more along after the very first puff.  

Regius USA Oscuro Fat Perfecto

This fat perfecto features a pigtail cap, affording us the opportunity to twist or bite it in a pinch instead of using a cigar cutter.  Much like the LFD Chisel and Dirty Rat, convenience is a high commodity on the road.  It also has a tapered foot, in case you’re trying to light your cigar on the road (inadvisable) and don’t have time to patiently toast and torch a giant ring gauge. 

RoMa Craft CroMagnon Knuckle Dragger

RoMa Craft packs a lot of punch into a small format, making this CroMagnon a dead ringer for flavor and construction.  While there aren’t any handy tricks for one-armed enthusiasts, the price of a Knuckle Dragger is about as convenient as it gets.  Make sure and set your cruise control, though, as this is the type of cigar that might encourage you to lead a police chase.   

Drew Estate Liga Privada Dirty Rat

Featuring a fantail cap, this is another great choice for convenience and flavor.  Simply remove the cap by pulling it off with your fingers or teeth and you’re ready to party.  Once lit, smoke will pour off this stick like a bucket of dry ice and you’ll be lost in the satisfaction.  Smoking a Dirty Rat is always a good choice, but something about it always makes ever trip shorter.
