Cigar Smoking Tips

Cigar Smoking Tips
by: Jeff Lakie While most of the uninitiated might consider the generic habit of smoking to be one thing, and one thing only, any aficionado will be at great pains to tell you otherwise. While the smoking of cigarettes is something that most teenagers have tried, and increasingly is viewed socially as something a person

does because they simply haven't managed to give up yet, smoking is something akin to a hobby, and for many, a passion. While cigarette smoking is something you simple do, the smoking of cigars is done with panache, and like any other skilled pastime, there is a whole sub-culture that participates in it. Because smoking is undoubtedly a skilled art - as any common cigarette smoker can tell you after making the leap from what might be considered the waif of the smoking world, the paltry and ten-a-penny cigarette, to the voluptuous and charismatic cigar. Cigars have a depth that delves into all five senses, and a flavor that is completely unexpected by those familiar only with cigarettes. The novice smoker will be nauseous and headachy for days! But apparently this is a barrier that is worth working through - you only have to mention cigars to an aficionado to hear them wax lyrical on the wonders of cigars. Like fine wine, there is a wealth of different types of available whose differences seem incomprehensibly subtle to the disinterested. It is a brave relative or friend who attempts an unguided shopping trip to purchase cigars for a loved one, as the variations available are overwhelming. And, because of the enthusiasm with which lovers love their cigars, the wrong choice can cause a family rift that might linger for years. Thankfully, the popularity of smoking means that there are a variety of resources available to help, from magazines to websites, whether you are looking to purchase a gift, or simply pretend to be more knowledgeable when next in the company of a smoker. Just remember - don't ask him if he would like a cigarette. About the author: Jeff Lakie is the founder of Information a website providing information on Smoking

The 35 Days of Christmas!
For those of you who don't know - because it's been such a hard year we decided to suspend our Weekly Email Specials and Weekend Warrior sales and run the THIRTY FIVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS, instead of the 12 Days of Christmas we normally do each year. That means there will be a different money-saving deal, each day for 35 days! We have already sent out two emails featuring the first 10 days of specials, and now we bring you the next 5! Here are the specials for Day 11 through Day 15!
Weekly Special - November 19
HEY! I don't think I hafta tell anyone that this has been a very tough freakin' year. No matter what you read, the news is all bad... and sumthin' tells me it's gonna get even worse. So I figured it was high time someone did something to cheer people up, and nothing seems to cheer up cigar smokers more than buying some great cigars at absolutely bizarre prices! Every year we do the 12 Days of Christmas, and our customers really look forward to this nuttiness. SO - this year, we're suspending our Weekly Email Special and suspending our Weekend Warrior sales... and instead we're doing THE THIRTY FIVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS. There will be a banner on our homepage for you to click on to view the daily specials. We will only be sending out a handful of email reminders, so be sure to check our website each day so that you don't miss out on a great sale. Each special is only valid through 11:59pm EST of that day, while supplies last, and will be replaced by a new one at midnight (EST) the next morning. This may not make you forget that your stocks or 401K have gone into the toilet, but it will take your mind off it for a couple of minutes a day!

Cherry Pick of the Month (December)
December 2008: El Rey del Mundo Coronacion Tubo This month we picked a Cherry Pick that seems fitting for the month of December - the El Rey Del Mundo Coronacion Tubo with a dark Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper. This is a one time offering from the General Cigar factory made just for the Holiday 2008 season. These 7 1/2 inch by 52 ring gauge beauties are individually sealed in glass tubes to preserve the delectable, full-bodied Honduran flavors and packed in cedar boxes of 10. The packaging and physical size is unique to this popular brand. The Coronacion makes a great gift item for the Holidays or a great way to keep some extra cigars around the house that don't need to be put into a humidor as the glass tubes will keep the cigars fresh for almost an eternity. A great addition to one of the finest cigar brands made in the world today and an absolute "must try"!
