The power of a cigar is often detected with the tongue and throat. It’s that “tingle” you feel in the back of your mouth during smoking. It’s hard to describe what this feeling is like but the best way to explain it is that an extremely mild cigar will leave a soft impression while a full-bodied cigar will have that strong, “heavy” feeling to it.

3 Cuban Cigar Buying Commandmentsby Trevor WallaceThe best cigars in the world come from Cuba, also known as Cuban Cigars. If you set out to buy real Cubans on the internet, I'm afraid knowing that isn't enough. Since their are so many vultures on the internet selling fake Cuban cigars, I would like to share three things that you must be aware of before purchasing a Cuban Cigar off the internet. As buying from a fake online retailer may not only cause you the pain of smoking fake Cubans, but you can also be a victim of identity theft. If you've never smoked real Cuban Cigars, than this should be a must read for your. After all, you don't want to share fake Cuban cigars with someone who has smoke real Cubans before. They can spot the difference as soon as the Cigars are lit.See you have to

It's All in the Name One of the most common ways to categorize cigars is by their shape and size. Although this sounds simple, it can be very confusing. For many years, the cigar industry has been using terms such as Corona and Panatela, which correspond to the approximate length and width of the cigar, not the manufacturer or brand. Although most manufacturers use commonly accepted size names to

The closed end (or head) of a cigar is the end that you put into your mouth, but you have to cut it, first. When a cigar is hand rolled, a cap is put on the head of the cigar to keep it from unraveling and drying out. A cigar should not be cut until you are ready to smoke. There are three styles of cuts, and several types of cutters, but the straight cut made with a guillotine cutter is the most

After being cut, the cigar is now ready for lighting. Butane lighters or wooden matches are recommended. It is important not to introduce chemicals or other flavors or substances into the cigar as it is being lit (never use a scented candle). There are many types of lighters on the market, but butane torch lighters work the best outdoors, especially on a breezy day. Puff and Rotate Light your

Now that your cigar is all fired up, it’s time to smoke and enjoy it. Continue to puff and rotate about every 30 to 60 seconds. Do NOT inhale the smoke, just taste it in your mouth and blow it out. If you smoke a cigar too fast, it will burn hot and ruin the flavor. If you smoke too slow, it will go out and you will have to keep relighting. Since most hand rolled cigars are made with long filler,

The tobacco that is rolled into cigars is primarily grown in the tropical regions of the world.

Tobacco is planted in late September and generally takes two months to reach

Cigars are composed of three types of tobacco leaves, whose variations determine smoking and flavor characteristics: Wrappers A cigar's outermost leaves, or wrapper, come from the widest part of the plant.

As the 1990s dawned, few industries seemed deader than cigar sales and manufacture. From its height in the 1850s - when Cuba alone exported 356.6 million cigars - the cigar had fallen into virtual moribundity. Its market had been conquered by cheap, ubiquitous cigarettes. Its image was tarnished in the United States by, among other things, [...]

Here at GLuxe, we're avid cigar smokers. And as avid cigars smokers, we have tons of cigar cutters lying around the pad. Most, unfortunately, are of the cheapo variety that we received for free either from cigar events or as part of our frequent cigar orders. As jet-setters, what we should be using to cut our La Aurora 1495 cigars is a XIKAR Xi3 Havana cigar cutter. Each Xi3 is customized by hand. The artist fits a handle made of French maple wood to the Xi3 cutter then hand paints the handles in either green, yellow, red, blue or black. Once the handle is painted, he carefully adds pieces of actual cigar brands to the handle then preserves the layout forever in several layers of clear varnish. Once sanded and polished, the final work of art is ready to cut the finest cigars in the w
