Happiness is a good cigar

Cigars are not Cigarettes!

By

For the normal cigarette smoker, shifting their smoking agenda towards the field of cigars should not be intertwined. There are totally different smoking materials. For one, cigarettes are smaller in size and not manufactured and prepared in the way that cigars are done.

Secondly, cigars are entirely expensive compared to one pack of cigarette. For some cigars such as Cuban or Havana manufactured cigars, the price of one piece of cigar may be equivalent or even more expensive than one pack of cigarette. This is largely due to the materials used in making one cigar roll. Tobacco leaves and storage is different and this can be attested to once they are given the chance to try them out.

The manner of smoking is different. For cigarettes they have filters and are inhaled. For cigars, it does not follow that people will inhale them all the time. Chances are they may even get dizzy if they inhale cigar fumes, but there are people who do so, probably because they have been accustomed to doing so with cigarettes beforehand.

Personal Satisfaction from Smokes

To this day, no one has really come up with a good explanation why it is hard to kick the habit of smoking once a person would start taking it up. All a person gets is smoke in his mouth and perhaps until his lungs, so what is the pleasure out of it? Breathing like a dragon perhaps? But still, where is the part where a person is satisfied, especially when a cigar is paired with coffee.

Cigar Smokers

Many people would not understand why such traditional practices have become what it is today. For what it is worth, it has been proven that the longer a person would smoke, the higher the risk of contracting diseases since smoke is known to have harmful effects on the internal organs of the body. One of the known risks is that of cancer which punctures at every given opportunity to these heavy smokers. Also, maybe it has become a habit or a mental awareness issue since people has had this knack for needing to perform similar rituals day in and day out.

The Origin of Cuban Cigars

Mention cigars and a person would instantly associate it with Cuban cigars. Cuban cigars are acclaimed to be the best hand rolled tobacco in the world, being the preferred country where such finely prepared tobacco leaves are found. Cigar production is controlled by the Cuban government where they are rolled in the various cigar factories that are existent in the country of Cuba.

Cuban Cigar Manufacturing

Habanos SA and Cubatabaco are known to be the leading groups that handle the manufacturing and distribution of their finest roles produced. Such produced cigars are usually known to be hand made although there are some who also use machines to be able to produce bulk cigars bundles.

Ironically, Cuban cigars where introduced in Europe by the very same person who discovered America, Christopher Columbus. He is credited with this distinction from his numerous voyages, something that people are familiar with today. It is amazing that he too is responsible for making cigars known in Europe.
