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 is the world’s longest cigar? If you have an affinity for this kind of trivia, you might already know the answer. Then again, you might not have heard of the latest in this area.
Just recently, a Cuban cigar roller broke his own records. Jose Castelar Cairo (Cueto) is not a stranger to the longest cigars in the world. The Caribbean News has this report:
Cuban cigar roller Jose Castelar Cairo (Cueto) will receive officially his fourth Guinness Record certificate, this time ...
Luxury goods and sin tax – these are terms that not many people like, but have to deal with. Those in Tampa, Florida, in particular are fuming because of a recent proposal to increase yet again the tax on tobacco. It seems to me that this is all that we are hearing lately. Increase, increase, increase. There doesn’t seem to be any respite in this area.
The involved people are not taking these talks lightly, though. Cigar makers and retailers are actually getting together to try and oppose this proposed increase in tobacco tax. ...
Maybe not right now, but pretty soon. This is the result of a bill that is in the works in the Nebraska Legislature. If the bill goes through the final approval stage, cigar lovers will be able to smoke in designated cigar bars in the state by September of this year. The Omaha World Herald has this report:
Cigar smokers would be able light up in designated cigar bars sometime in early September under a bill given final approval by the Nebraska Legislature this morning.
State lawmakers voted 27-22 to approve the cigar bar exemption, which had been ...
We Americans know how to appreciate those who do things for us, and perhaps the best example would be how we are taught to respect our military men. In the past decade, we have been involved in many wars, most controversial perhaps is the Iraq War. Even today, as the war has been officially over for quite some time, we still have troops in the country, carrying out their orders even if it means being away from their homeland, from their families.
This is something that David Haddad of ...
