Do you consider yourself to be a sly fox? I wouldn’t mind being perceived as such if it means that I am a great deal finder – and I believe myself to be one! In this day and age, when money is getting hard to come by, I think that no one would mind being called sly when it comes to getting the best deals possible.
Anyhow, I ran across a press release from Cigar Fox, a premier source of high quality cigars. They have released a ...
If you ever find yourself in the area of Pasadena, California, you might want to pay a visit to the Ceniza Cigar Lounge. I, myself, have never been there but I have been reading quite a number of good reviews about this place. For one, this lounge is one of the largest public smoking lounges in the state. If you are not familiar with California laws (I hear some of them are quite quirky), smoking in public – outdoors – is not allowed. So cigar ...
Do you know what a hygrometer is? If you are finding yourself a bit confused right now, don’t be. You probably know what it is, or what it looks like, you just might not be familiar with the term.
A hygrometer is basically an instrument which measures the level of humidity. How is this important for cigar enthusiasts? Humidity is the keyword here. You should know that when it comes to storing cigars, humidity is a key factor. That is where the ...
Before we go any further, do you have the vaguest idea what I am talking about? What are plugs in relation to cigars? Think about it, what does a plug do?
Now that I have got your brain working, let me help you out a little bit. Imagine yourself lighting up a cigar, excitement running through you…suddenly, when you inhale to take the draw, you seem to be having a lot of difficulty drawing the air in. What has happened? The chances are ...
Smoking a cigar is one of the greatest pleasures in life. Some people think that it is not much different from a cigarette. After all, you have a stick (albeit of varying sizes) in your mouth, you puff, and so on. Then again, those who know nothing (or very little) about cigars wouldn’t know that there are key differences when it comes to smoking cigarettes and cigars. For example, most cigar smokers that I know do not inhale the smoke. If you don’t believe ...
What in the world are dead cigars? I do not think that people technically use this term but I like to use it to describe cigars that have dried out. Sometimes, you buy a bundle of cigars and you do not smoke all of them within a short period of time. If you do not have a humidor, then the chances are that they will dry out. And sometimes, you buy dead cigars from shops. This actually happened to me just recently. I wanted ...
A humidor is an essential item in the cigar lover’s arsenal. A humidor is quite important in keeping cigars in good quality for long periods of time. For the casual cigar smoker, a humidor may not be that necessary but for the person who regularly smokes cigars and who keeps his own stash, then being without one would be akin to wasting cigars. There are a lot of humidors for sale in the market. Some are on the more affordable end while others are on ...
Any decent cigar enthusiast would grab the chance to smoke a Cuban. Unfortunately for those in the United States, the trade embargo that was put in place many many years ago still prohibits Cuban cigars in U.S. soil. While you may be able to purchase Cubans from the Internet anytime you wish to do so, you never know if what you are getting are real Cubans or whether they are of good quality. So what is your next option?
Go up north and cross the border into ...
Flavored cigar lovers this post is for you guys! I was browsing the web for good deals on cigars when I ran across a VERY GOOD one over at Cigar Monster. They currently have an offer called the Tatiana Classic Super 24 Bundle, which as the name implies, is a package that contains 24 cigars. All the cigars are flavored - 4 Tatiana Classic Cherry Natural 6 X 44, 4 Tatiana Classic Chocolate Natural 6 x 44, 4 Tatiana Classic Cinnamon Natural 6 X 44, ...
Winston Churchill is arguably the most popular icon in the world of cigars. Though there are many other people who have become a symbol for cigars but no one has ever surpassed Churchill in the eyes of many a cigar smoker. So when I heard the news that Winston Churchill’s grandson has launched a new line of high quality cigars, I became more than interested.
Apparently, Winston Churchill the grandson (yup they have the same name) has teamed up with world renowned firm Davidoff to come up with ...
