A Popular Name - Honduran Cigars

Roatan, and San Pedro Sula are both part of a Central American country. Honduras is a country that was badly washed out by its political history, plight of economy and even the occasional natural disaster brought about by hurricanes over the years. However, Roatan is a paradise of the holiday maker, especially for the cruise vacationers. As for San Pedro Sula, it is where the tobacco growers of Honduras live in.

Beside being one of the poorest countries in Central America, Honduras is also one of the many countries which is still unable to repay the loan from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. In some people?s view, the country is a place of poverty, crime and political unrest. This is also probably the reason why the people of Honduras are not united in thoughts and behavioral patterns. Despite all their various problems, the people of Honduras do share one common identity though, and that is their cigars.

Ever since the cigars from Cuba are banned from entering the US because of a sanctioned trade embargo against the country, cigars from Honduran have started to grow in familiarity and popularity among the people of the US. In fact, Honduran cigars have grown to become the favourite among many lovers in some European countries.

If we were to trace the history of Honduran cigars, we will find that they actually had their roots from Cuba. Many tobacco farmers had decided to migrate and settle in their neighbouring country, Honduras, when they were no longer allowed to operate their businesses under the communist rule because Fidel Castro announced that all businesses in Cuba shall come under the government?s control.

Frank Llaneze, the founder and President of the Honduran-American Tobacco S.A. (H.A.T.S.A.), is one of the earlier creators of Honduran cigars. He has invented a new type of cigars that had since become very popular with the lovers. He was persistence in looking for ways to create a new type of Havana tobacco by mixing it with other Caribbean countries? tobacco species. He knew that he was in desperate need of a new variety of tobacco before all Cuban tobacco was wiped out in the Cuban revolution. After many futile attempts, he finally succeeded in growing a new specie of tobacco seeds in the Honduras? fertile soil. This new specie of tobacco seeds were actually the offspring of the Cuba and Connecticut tobacco seeds. In today?s world, many renowned brands such as Excalibur, Hoyo de Monterrey and Punch were produced by H.A.T.S.A. and they are the top brands which are very popular with the American aficionados.

A mixture of nuts and wood gives rise to the flavour of the well-known Honduran cigars. An aroma of spicy and woody finish topped off full-bodied taste of the delightful cigar. It is not uncommon to find a stick of Honduran cigar, which is comparable to their Havana predecessor, accompanying a toast of red wine. The American tobacco lovers find great elation in the Honduran cigars, especially since the Cuban cigars are only available in the expensive black market.

Despite being a country of great poverty, Honduras is definitely in possession of one of the world?s riches that many countries would desire to own. It is believed that in the near future, Honduras will be rid of its poverty state and become the tobacco capital of the world.

How to Entertain with Cigars
Knowing how to entertain with cigars is the perfect prelude to business. There's an old adage: "a cigar is just a cigar, but a good cigar is a smoke." If you've ever puffed on a premium robusto, corona or Churchill, you know exactly what that statement means. Nothing quite compares to the fresh bouquet of the fine brown tobacco wrapper, the spicy or peppery taste that fills your mouth as you puff, the meditative feeling that comes over you as you watch swirls of smoke waft through the room. Cigars have always been associated with success, accomplishment and conquest. In fact, one of the highlights of the BLACK ENTERPRISE Pepsi Golf and Tennis Challenge continues to be the annual smoker in which some of the nation's richest and most powerful African Americans engage in banter, comradeship and deal making while puffing on coronas and sipping cognac. by Robb Capielo 04-04-2006
New Humidor Tips
Cigars cannot be placed into a brand new humidor and be expected to stay fresh. Why? Unless it is properly prepared, there is not an adequate amount of humidity inside your humidor. That said, here are instructions on how to prepare a new humidor. Using a paper towel or a soft cloth, wipe down the entire inner surface of the humidor, including the inside of the lid, with distilled water. It is crucial that only distilled water be used for this since water drawn from any other source will contain bleach, calcium, chlorine and other chemicals and minerals that will clog your humidification unit and, worst of all, impart those flavors to your cigars.
