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.

If you are looking for a high quality mild cigar, I have the perfect suggestion for you. Why don’t you try out the Montecristo White Especial No. 1 cigar? The length of this cigar is 6 5/8 inches – just right for a long leisurely smoke. The ring gauge is 44 and it has an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper. That is, the wrapper has a pale creamy tan color, which gives you an idea of just how mild the flavor is. The binder is Nicaraguan ...
I don’t even have to try the cigar to want one. The mere mention of the name makes me want to light one up right now. Doesn’t it just evoke a sense of excitement, a quickening of the blood? Gurkha Black Dragon. That sounds wonderful!
Tom Johansmeyer recently reviewed this cigar at Luxist, and this is what he has to say:
The box alone suggests that the contents are fascinating. Slick black with orange trim, the only reason you disturb the presentation is because you know what's inside. The Gurkha Black Dragon Tubo cigars sit within, each ...

The credit crunch still bothering you? I wouldn’t be surprised. Despite the positive aura that a lot of people had at the beginning of the year, things do not seem to be getting that much better. It seems that we still have to face the worst before things start looking up.
If you are having problems finding the money to enjoy your favorite cigar, I have an alternative for you – Greek cigars. I actually read about these cigars from a report by the Associated Press, ...
While cigars are smoked by many people on a regular basis, we cannot discount the fact that cigars are associated with special events. Cigar makers, especially, place particular attention to producing one of a kind cigars for special events. This month, we have gotten wind of a new project from La Flor Dominicana.

Cigars, just like wine will taste better if they are lit after some time. This is not to say that a cigar is not worth it if it is immediately lit by anyone who may have one. It is merely stating a fact that a cigar will improve in its taste and quality after some years of proper storage since this is how the tobacco leave contents prosper with regards to quality tasting cigars.
To some people, it would be best to check out the labels that they come with. The years specified in each ...
I do! I do! It is no secret that I am a big cigar enthusiast but I think that it is such a sweet coincidence that a cigar manufacturer is giving away one of my favorite cars. Nub Cigars was launched in April of this year and has since then been aggressively promoting their brand. As part of this aggressive promotional strategy, they are giving away a BMW 2008 Mini Cooper S convertible!
The Cigar Aficionados recently ran this feature:
Since launching Nub cigars on April ...
There are cigars and then there are cigars. Cigar aficionados would certainly understand what I mean and they would also probably feel a rush of excitement each time they hear the word Gurkha. For those who have no clue as to what I am talking about, the Gurkha is now being considered as one of the hottest cigars in the market.

Mobsters and cigars – they’re certainly a good match in the eyes of many. The mob and Italy – still another match. How about chocolate and cigars? Hmm, now I find that really interesting! If you think the way I do, then you would be very interested in the latest cigars to come out of the country that is shaped like a boot.
Toscanello Aroma Fondente is the latest cigar that would probably have cigar enthusiasts clamoring for more. This cigar is conical in shape ...
