When it comes to humidors, the foremost material that comes to mind is Spanish Cedar. This wood has long been established as the best lining for humidors. This is because of the fact that Spanish Cedar has the tendency to absorb moisture, giving it the ability to restore moisture within the humidor, which is ideal for cigars.
But did you know that Spanish Cedar is technically not cedar? As a matter of fact, it comes from the mahogany family. If you look at it, you will see a salmon red tight-grained wood. The aroma is very ...
What are you willing to go through to get your nicotine fix? Most people I know simply go to the nearest convenience store and buy a pack of cigarettes. Marlboro Lights, Camel Lights – name the brand, you’ll find them easily most anywhere. The problem these days is that, despite easy enough access to cigarettes, the finances involved aren’t that “pretty” anymore. Smokers all over the United States have been battered by ever increasing taxes, not to mention smoking bans left and right.
While we can’t do ...

In my last post, I talked about giving Father’s Day gifts. I talked about cigar samplers and other various accessories. But did you know that you can personalize cigar gifts as well? I should have thought of it at the outset; after all, you can pay people to personalize most everything these days.
Think about the popular Father’s Day gifts we see at the shops. We have “Best Dad” mugs, t-shirts, pens, car decorations, desk accessories, and so on. Practically anything that can be modified is ...
We only have less than a month before Father’s Day. I don’t know how you do it, but in my family, we take Mother’s Day and Father’s Day quite seriously. Even if we cannot be together on that particular day, us children make it a point to do something special for our parents. We either send a gift or send them on a trip – whichever is possible at the given time.
This year, Father’s Day is on June 21, 2009, a Sunday as usual. Have you ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
