Sales of Cuban cigars are falling…not drastically, but enough to worry Cuban cigar manufacturers. There is no question about Cubans being one of the most sought after cigars in the world, but we also know that there are many factors contributing to lagging sales. The United States still considers them contraband. Smoking bans are in effect all over the world. The worldwide economic problem has affected the industry. The overall result is an 8 percent drop in sales in 2009.

How much would you pay for a cigar? How about for half a cigar (one that is already smoked)? I bet that if asked suddenly, the average person would say that there’s no way he’d buy an already smoked cigar, at least off the top of his head. Then again, if you think about it, it depends on who smoked the cigar, right?
That’s exactly what happened with the remaining half of a cigar that Sir Winston Churchill smoked way back in 1941. According to the “original” ...
Cigar enthusiasts with money to burn should know about the planned cigar lounge in Alexandria in Northern Virginia. I am nowhere near the area but some of you might be interested in shelling out $5,000 for the membership plus $100 monthly. Yep, that figure is something else, isn’t it?
From what Patrick of the Stogie Guys say, though, that money would be very well spent if one decided to become a member of CXIII Rex. He was given the privilege of going on a special tour ...
Everyone wants a Cuban cigar, and everyone knows that they are illegal in the United States. So unless you want to get charged for bringing in contraband, you cannot really enjoy the real deal.
Now what if I were to tell you that you have an alternative? I just heard of a new product from USACIG, Inc. and Hop-on, Inc. dubbed "
The Electric Cuban Cigar(TM)." I am sure you’re heard of similar products before – we have even featured electric cigars in the past. The big ...
Everyone else may have been ditching Tiger Woods and sidelining him after the scandal about his (numerous) affairs, but not this cigar company based in Orlando. Corona Cigar Co. has decided to go out on a limb and offer the “disgraced” golfer an endorsement deal worth $100,000. That amount may not seem that huge for someone like Tiger Woods but at this point in his life, he does not really have that many options.
As a matter of fact, some representatives of the cigar company have gone on to ...
Here’s something that you can plan to do in the next couple of weeks – even less, actually. Cigar Aficionado is holding its annual Big Smoke Las Vegas Weekend from the 13th of November to the 15th of November. This is the 14th year that the event is going to be held – a testament to the huge success that it has achieved.
This year, Big Smoke is going to be held at The Venetian Resort, Hotel, and Casino. What can you expect from the event? On ...
How long is the longest cigar in the world? The last record that I know of was made by Wallace Reyes of the Gonzalez Habano Cigar Company. In November 18, 2006, he rolled a 101feet cigar with a one inch diameter (64 ring gauge). The record-making cigar was created during the annual Cigar Heritage Festival.
Last week, the very same Wallace Reyes started work on another cigar, which he hopes will break the previous record. His target is to roll a cigar which is 180 feet in ...
What do you do before you smoke a cigar? Normally, we use a cutter to prep that nice juicy stogie, but have you heard of the Cigar Spike? It’s a new product – a cigar tool – that somewhat looks like a guitar pick. And its purpose? To punch a neat little hole at the end of your cigar so that you can start enjoying it.
The norm is to use cigar cutters like a guillotine cutter, which will chop of the whole head of a cigar. ...
It’s a nice night, and you want to spend it smoking a cigar while enjoying the cool breeze outside. Or maybe you want to settle in in your favorite comfortable chair and watch a good movie or read a book while smoking a cigar. Then you realize a possibility – that the only cigars you have at home might have “gone bad!”
Is this scenario even possible? Definitely! While you may not want to think about cigars going bad, it does happen – and it ...
Tired of having to deal with high tobacco taxes and all sorts of other discriminatory acts against cigar enthusiasts? Think it’s time to do something about it yourself? You might want to join the organization Cigar Rights of America (CRA). So what are they all about?
Here is their mission statement:
Cigar Rights of America (CRA) was founded on the principle of fighting for the freedom to enjoy cigars.
CRA is a consumer-based, non-profit public advocacy organization that works at the local, state, and federal level ...
