All Styles And Sizes: The Basic Types Of Cigars
by : www.backwoods-and-cuban-cigars.info This article explains a few things about cigars, and if you're interested, then this is worth reading, because you can never tell what you don't know. For the new smoker, the different styles and sizes of cigars

can seem mind-boggling. It helps to know that all cigars can be divided into two broad categories: parejos and figurados. Parejos refers to cigars that are basically straight. They are subdivided into three categories: coronas, panatelas, and lonsdales. Coronas come in a variety of styles and famous brands. They are known as cigars with an 'open foot' (or tip) and a rounded head. Panatelas are generally longer than coronas, are thinner. Lonsdales are also longer than coronas, but are thinner than panatelas. If you find yourself confused by what you've read to this point, don't despair. Everything should be crystal clear by the time you finish. The second basic category consists of the figurados. Figurados refers to cigars with that are irregular or somehow hand-shaped so that they are not strictly straight. The smallest type of figurados is the belicoso cigars, which are known for a larger foot and a smaller, rounded head. Another basic figurado is the pyramid, which have pointed heads that taper to a large foot. The perfecto is a figurado that is tapered on both the head and foot, with a thinner middle. The largest figurado is the diademas, known as the 'giant' of cigars because it is always eight inches or longer. Of course, it's impossible to put everything about cigars into just one article. But you can't deny that you've just added to your understanding about cigars, and that's time well spent.

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.
