How To Buy Cigars As A Gift
by : www.backwoods-and-cuban-cigars.info Imagine the next time you join a discussion about cigars. When you start sharing the fascinating cigars facts below, your friends will be absolutely amazed. Is there a aficionado on your gift list? Wondering how to choose a decent for a friend or loved one? Even if you know nothing about cigars or choosing a good cigar, just learning a few basics can help you sniff out (sometimes

literally) a good to give to a friend. Fortunately, cigars have now entered the mainstream. Once the symbol of the rich and powerful, it's easier than ever for just about anyone to purchase a good cigar. Of course, you probably won't be able to buy your friend a box of top-tier Cuban cigars, but you can definitely buy them a good quality that will put a smile on their face. First, visit your local tobacconist or specialty smoke shop for the best quality and widest selection. Avoid 'drugstore' cigars. Although they may be inexpensive and convenient to purchase, drugstore cigars are usually filled with preservatives and generally of poorer quality. They may contain, at minimum, saltpeter, paper, glycerin, and other preservatives and irritants. You should make sure that the cigars you purchase are made of 100% tobacco. If you have any questions regarding the cigars ingredients, ask the salesperson. An experienced and knowledgeable sales clerk will be able to tell you extensive information about the ingredients. If your cigars facts are out-of-date, how will that affect your actions and decisions? Make certain you don't let important cigars information slip by you. Your local tobacco shop is a good place to shop because you will generally be allowed to smell and touch the cigars. Squeeze the gently. A good quality will give a little when squeezed. The should be firm, with no excessively soft or hard spots. Never buy a lumpy cigar. Look at the wrapper. If you notice any drying or discoloration, best not to buy it. Ideally, the wrapper should be tight and smooth. Inspect the color of the tobacco to make sure it is even. Do this by inspecting the end of the cigar. Some color variation is normal, but if the color changes abruptly, chances are the was not rolled properly. A that is not rolled properly may result in an uneven burning and unpleasant odors. If you're not sure how much your friend smokes, choose a longer cigar. Longer cigars tend to have a 'cooler' taste—an excellent choice for beginners. If you know your friend is an experienced and regular smoker, choose a that is greater in diameter. These cigars tend to have a richer flavor that experienced smokers will appreciate. If you've picked some pointers about cigars that you can put into action, then by all means, do so. You won't really be able to gain any benefits from your new knowledge if you don't use it.

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"!
