American cigar aficionados have long felt aggrieved that they can’t legally buy Cuban cigars, due to the long-standing US trade embargo on Cuban products. In the light of recent news reports on illegal “Cuban” cigar factories--chinchals--cigar lovers in Cuba may be feeling the same way. The worldwide economic crisis has affected the long-struggling Communist island republic, with many Cubans looking for work. Since there’s always a market for fine Cuban cigars--or any cigar that can make itself look like same--some enterprising, if unscrupulous, residents of the world’s cigar capital have decided to trade on that national prestige by starting illegal, unauthorized cigar...

or Dominicana Habano cigars are widely regarded to have quality similar to those manufactured in Cuba. Each box bears the Habanos Denomination of Origin Protection. This endorsement is never given lightly. It is, for all intents and purposes, a guarantee of quality and origin that goes only to the very best cigars made in Cuba itself, and to tobaccos derived from the best leaves. To have this stamp of approval placed on a non-Cuban cigar is an honor indeed, and significant to the cigar world as a whole. Ever since the embargo was placed on Cuba by the United States, it has been difficult for many people to obtain Cuban cigars. Nevertheless, Cuban cigars are still the standard by which all other...

Food is preserved through refrigeration. Leather is kept supple and shiny through regular conditioning. The mummies of ancient Egypt were preserved by being rubbed with special oils and then wrapped in cloth. But how do you preserve your pricey, hard-to-come by Cuban cigars? Why, with the use of a humidor, of course! A humidor is used to control how much humidity surrounds cigars and other tobacco products.

Cabinet humidors are specially designed for the serious cigar aficionado. Much more of an investment than a small desktop humidor that can hold 100 to 200 cigars, cabinet humidors can be as small as a standing chest, can hold up to 8000 cigars or more, can measure as much as four feet wide by 20 inches deep and over six feet in height or larger and resemble a large bookcase, and can cost from the high hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars.

an cigar is not like a fruit or vegetable or bread which tastes the best when taken fresh. A Cuban cigar is not at its best right after it has been made, but it tends to get better as time passes on. You should know that the very tobacco which is used to make a good Cuban cigar is probably aged for a year or two before being actually blended into the Cuban cigar. A humidor is a device that is used to preserve the Cuban cigars in correct temperature and humidity in order to retain its quality while improving upon the flavor. The condition within the humidor should at all times be maintained under the 70-70 rule which states that both the temperature and the humidity remain close to 70 at all times to...

Although a mere one percent of the cigar-smoking public in the United States is comprised of women, that figure is rapidly on the rise. Women are no longer concerned about ancient and outdated taboos that are associated with cigar smoking, and they are dropping their more feminine cigarettes and reaching out in record numbers for cigars in public and in private. What's behind this surge in stogie puffing gals? Reasons for Increased Women Smoking Cigars While some women claim that smoking cigars is just another way that they can be perceived as free to do as they please (an offshoot of women's lib), others appreciate the health benefit of cigar smoking versus cigarette smoking. For those who enjoy...

Spanish Cedar is widely known as the material of choice in humidor construction. But is it the best material for humidors, or absolutely necessary? Well, let's discuss it a bit. Spanish Cedar is actually not cedar at all. It comes from the Mahogany family. It is a very nice, salmony red tight-grained wood with a very spicy aroma when smelled. In fact, if you sand or plane it down, the dust can really irritate your nasal passages, and can leave you sneezing and coughing more-so than other woods. Spanish Cedar is a wood that is commonly found all over Central America and is used in building materials, and for wood siding. Hundreds of years ago, tobacco curing barns were constructed or lined with this...

ery first cigar factory was constructed in the Netherlands in 1826. Unlike other European governments that tried to control cigar manufacture, the Dutch let cigar makers pursue their trade unregulated. The cigar industry was quickly spread over Europe, but it remained prominent in the Dutch province of Brabant. In 1873, these fine cigars was founded.

They are very short that are good if you are looking for a relatively...

ocky Patel Vintage 1992 is a premium cigar that is justly famed as a full-flavored extravaganza.

Seasoning a Cigar Humidor To keep the things we cherish in our lives working properly, there is an element of regular garden tending that needs to be undertaken. Whether it comes in the form of frequently changing the oil in a car, storm-proofing a rosewood deck, or seasoning a cigar humidor, without proper tending and maintenance our investments turn into disappointments. Interestingly, most cigar hobbyists have at best a tenuous understanding of how to keep their humidors functioning properly - especially when they are expensive. Take a gentlemen who has recently acquired a beautifully constructed humidor worth several thousand dollars. Let's say the humidor was a gift, but like most humidors sold...

ho cigars are considered to be the very Habano cigars of non-Cuban origin. This is due to the fact that tobaccos used in these cigars come from seeds imported from Cuba into Honduras. Since that time, they have since become a staple in the world of cigars. Camacho cigars are made by Camacho Cigars®, a company that was purchased in 2008 by the Oettinger Davidoff Group.

For some people, those who are not familiar at all with this pleasure, it would be difficult to choose between the head and the end of the so called foot of sigari Habanos. This is the reason why, they should know that, when they keep a sigaro in their hand, the head is the one that is closest to the sigaro's band. If you have just started smoking sigari Cubani and you don't know too much about it, then you should find out that you need to make a cut on the head of the sigaro and light it at its foot. While doing this, you need to be careful and rotate sigari Habanos, so the burning is even; at the same time, the smoker should draw the air gently, without inhaling it into the lungs. This is...

host (El Triunfador) returns with a vengeance of great flavor in the latest incarnation of El Triunfador, which translates as “The Winner.” Originally a Cuban release, Pete Johnson re-released it in September of 2008 when it began appearing without fanfare in one size at limited retailers to protect the trademark. Few smokers were lucky enough to have had the chance to try one in those days. Medium to full strength, the original non-Cuban El Triunfador is still available for those who prefer it—just look for the Connecticut Broadleaf Wrapper. The newest El Triunfador release features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper rather than the Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro and is handmade in Don...

ay think that lighting a Cuban cigar could be as easy as it sounds, but you would be thinking wrong. It is true that anybody can light a Cuban cigar, but to light it in a way that preserves its flavor is a tricky business and may require knowing a thing or two about the process. Smokers who enjoy every Cuban cigar that they smoke should follow these tips to better enjoy their experience. Before you light your Cuban cigar, you should heat its “foot” or end for sometime. As you keep heating it slowly on a fire, you will see that a black ring is forming on the foot. You must make sure that the Cuban cigar does not contact the fire at any point of time; the fire should just be close enough...

ebounding of the premium-cigar market is one of the oddest business success stories of the past fifteen years. With an aging customer base, decades of competition from cigarettes and overall consumer trends indicating a decline in smoking in general, many observers had written off premium cigars as yesterday's luxury item—until 1992, when the industry showed significant fourth-quarter growth. Two years, and lots of media coverage later, cigars had positioned themselves as the break of choice for an increasingly young, increasingly dual-gendered market. By 1996, the industry was seeing 36 percent first-quarter growth. So, like many people, you're probably curious about the trend, and wondering...

tionally, cigar aficionados have only been able to buy cigars by the box. This created conundrums for those who love to procure a great smoke without incurring a big risk. If you splurge on a box of premium cigars, even if they're discount premium cigars, you may very well find yourself smoking the first one--only to discover that it really wasn't what you wanted. Even if it's a very good cigar (that's what "premium" means), if it's not to your taste, you've got eleven more cigars that you aren't particularly motivated to smoke, and you're out the price of an entire box. For this reason, the idea of a premium cigar sampler has emerged in recent years--especially after the so-called "cigar boom" of...

term "cheap cigars" is a misnomer. Let's set the record straight right away. There are no good tasting cheap cigars. Cigar making is both a skill and an art. A good cigar is contains quality tobacco that has been properly aged and has been hand rolled by a craftsman. A cigar that is cheaply made is the exact opposite. It contains poor quality tobacco that was quickly aged and was likely assembled by machine. A good cigar will burn evenly and smoothly and will provide an excellent smoking experience. Cheap cigars will burn poorly and taste worse. There are some things in life that simply can't be had cheaply if one wants comfort, enjoyment and quality- underwear is one, cigars are another. That said...

-- End Ad Box ---> There was a time when cigar smokers were limited to whatever it was that their local smoke shop had to offer.

I read this book sometime last quarter, and it was definitely one of the better novels that I have read. It was written by Alexandre Dumas in 1844 originally in French. The story takes place during the 1800's in France/Italy. It's actually based on a true event, which makes it all the more impressive. *Note: May contain spoilers. The book centers around Edmond Dantes, an ordinary sailor. Good fortune shines on him: he gets a promotion and becomes engaged with the girl he loves. But this good fortune causes jealousy in those around him, and his so called "friends" hatch a scheme that lands him in a far away prison, equivalent to present day Alcatraz. He is left to rot in prison with no pardon for...
