Enjoying Really Good Cigars by: Jeff Lakie
When you imagine cigars being smoked does the image of seasoned, robust, and wealthy foreign men sitting around with brandy swishing in their snifters come to mind? That is probably not an uncommon image, but it is not accurate for this modern age of connoisseurs.
These days it would not be surprising to find a group
of women in a shop. More commonly there will be men. It could be men from every walk of life, every income bracket, and any age all enjoying cigars. And you thought all smokers were alike? No more than all cigars are alike. That idea would actually offend many people in the right circle.
Obviously there are your run-of-the mill cigars. There are also cigars that are costly, aromatic, and have a life all their own. In researching the time and consideration that goes into creating the latter type of elite cigars you might be amazed that the process is quite similar to that of wine production. The finest cigars begin with the tobacco plant from which it originates. The grading moves forward to encompass where it is grown and when it is harvested. The truly great cigars end with it totally mattering if a master handler is at the wheel for the curing process.
Cost for the primo cigars will vary greatly. Taste will also vary. People who have humidors in their home might be true connoisseurs but anyone who appreciates a good smoke can benefit from the variations available. Both cost and taste are affected greatly by the care and attention master tobacco handlers provide. Knowing when and how many times to turn the tobacco leaves is an essential part of the totality of a great cigar. There is a true gift to knowing when the leaves have sweated properly.
The leaves are graded and separated. Each grade level produces different taste and cost of cigars. Many specialty shops throughout the United States offer cigars in all sizes and grades to the public. And in a society where smoking in public has fast become an invasion of air space these shops offer a place to smoke. Enjoying really good cigars indoors with other people around you is not a far-reaching dream.

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"!
