The Health Risks Of Cigar Smoking by : www.backwoods-and-cuban-cigars.info
The following paragraphs summarize the work of cigars experts who are completely familiar with all the aspects of cigars. Heed their advice to avoid any cigars surprises.
We have all heard of the risks associated with smoking cigarettes, but what are the risks of smoking? Are the risks of smoking cigars just as dangerous, or more so? According to the National Cancer Instituted, regular smoking can result
in a major health threat. Scientific research has linked smoking with cancers of the larynx, lungs, esophagus, and oral cavity. Newer research also indicates that smoking may be strongly linked to the development of cancer in the pancreas. Doctors also caution that individuals who regularly inhale while enjoying a are also at greater risk of developing lung disease and heart problems.
The health threats of smoking appear to increase dramatically in those individuals who smoke regularly and inhale while smoking. Someone who smokes three to four cigars each day will him or herself at eight times the risk of developing some kind of oral cancer than a nonsmoker. Unfortunately, we do not yet know the health risks of smoking the occasional cigar. It seems clear however that smoking cigars on a daily basis can pose serious health risks.
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.
Many individuals wonder if cigars are as addictive as cigarettes. Many wonder why, for instance, so many people become addicted to cigarettes, and not cigars? The truth is that any tobacco product can become addictive because it contains nicotine. Witness the effects of smokeless tobacco products on individuals. These products, such as chewing tobacco, can become very addictive, simply because they contain tobacco, which in turn contains nicotine. Many smokers do not inhale deeply, thus causing the nicotine to be inhaled superficially. Cigarette smokers tend to inhale, causing the nicotine to be absorbed faster and more readily by the lungs. Even though most smokers inhale the nicotine more superficially, it is still possible to become addicted if the user smokes cigars on a regular basis.
If nicotine is so addictive, why don't more smokers smoke more often? It appears that more people avoid becoming 'hooked' on cigars for several reasons. The most obvious reason is that the nicotine is inhaled much more superficially than in regular cigarette smoking, causing less nicotine to be absorbed by the body. Also, cigars are not as readily accessible as cigarettes. They are viewed by most as a luxury item, saved for special occasions and used infrequently. However, when cigars are smoked on a regular basis, they can become addictive. The health risks of any kind of smoking increase dramatically as frequency of use increases.
Don't limit yourself by refusing to learn the details about cigars. The more you know, the easier it will be to focus on what's important.

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.

Here are the specials for Day 11 through Day 15!

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.

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"!
