Buying With Bulk- Great Full-Bodied Cigars


In the life of every cigar smoker, the time comes when desire for a strong cigar trumps loyalty. Take for instance, yourself. You may be a dedicated fan of Ashton Classics, swearing up and down to your stogie that they are the only one for you. Afraid of leaving your brand abandoned or - dare I say - crushed, you may brush off any desires that come your way. You may ignore the yearning to try something stronger or, even worse, you may sneak around, meeting new cigars in dive bars and seedy hotel rooms for a few blissful moments of uninhibited pleasure. But, this only causes you to feel disloyal to the brand you have been with for years, making you feel guilty. After all, you tell yourself, cigars have feelings to.

Now, rest assured, you aren't committing tobacco adultery. It's perfectly natural to jump around from brand to brand. Sometimes you feel like a spicy cigar, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you feel like a sweet cigar, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you feel like a full bodied cigar, and sometimes you don't. But, when you do, there are some better than others. The following is a list of a few of the best full-bodied cigars, cigars that make it well worth cheating on your regular brand.

Camacho Corojo: Grown in the Jamastran Valley of Honduras, these cigars are rare, rich, and complex. Like cigars dedicated to a weight room, they are some of the strongest in existence. Made from a seed that was smuggled out of Cuba, these cigars are a favorite among many connoisseurs. Many tobacco stores keep it as a staple brand, not only because it is popular among customers, but also for those times when the staff has an urge to sample the product.

Coronado By La Flor Cigars: For years, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua have been giving Cuba a run for its money when it comes to best land for cigar production. The Coronado, a tag teaming Dominican Republic and Nicaragua effort, takes some of the lime light away from Cuba. Masterfully blended with Dominican filler and binder, and a Nicaraguan wrapper, the Coronado is full of spicy, peppery, and rich flavors.

Little Gomez Diez Cigars: A cigar originally made to celebrate La Flor Domincana's 10th anniversary, 100 percent of the tobacco that makes up this cigar is from the Dominican Republic. This, in the cigar world, is a rarity because it is difficult to procure Dominican Republic tobacco that is suitable for a binder, a filler, and a wrapper. With hints of spicy leather, this cigar allows the Dominican Republic to stand up and take a bow.

Carlos Torano Virtuoso: Made with the first sun grown wrapper from the Torano family, this cigar speaks volumes for their deep Cuban roots. The Virtuosos is the most full-bodied in the Carlos Torano line, but it is still a very balanced, smooth, and easy smoke. Consisting of tobacco from Panama, Honduras, and Nicaragua, the Virtuoso allows cigar lovers to sample a taste of several different regions, a taste that reminds smokers of chocolate, spice, and coffee.

The Edge by Rocky Patel: This cigar should come with a warning label, one that says, "Novices need not apply." For smokers who have some experience under their belt, this is a worthy notch. True to its name, this cigar has the edge on full-bodied cigars. Its flavor and spice can't be rivaled.

Every smoker at one time or another wants to stray away from the cigar brand to which they have become loyal. This doesn't make you a bad smoker, just a curious one. Sometimes you have to break the mold and try something with a little more body. Just break it to your brand gently; it will eventually forgive you.

Buy a new House

I have been a little lacking in action again and got some reviews to be backed up. The last few weeks I spent all my spare time working on getting my current House ready to sell and take a look at the new House. Finally, We fixed the House we want and finish in a few weeks.

I wanted to point out a really cool cigar room that Ryan put in his basement; When I get fast should I get started with a similar project in the new House.

I would be interested if anyone else has done something similar, or do anything to control smoke in their homes. Until I can get this built should I smoking on deck or in the garage.: (

Premium Cigars Connoisseurs Buy


Cuban cigars still hold the market as a premium cigar even after the embargo was placed on the product. People still look for this cigar and usually end up with a fraudulent cigar instead of the real thing. The Habanas still hold onto people as a connoisseur of these premium cigars. Even when prices top the list, people still buy these cigars at any cost. Why do people do this? They do it for the taste and have not experienced all the other premium cigars offered locally. These cigars offer quality flavor and draw just as the Cuban cigar does.

Knowing that these cigars are considered contraband, many people or cigar smokers do not care. They look for the cigars everywhere and some probably have their own connections to the popular cigar. Although we try to find the Cuban cigars because they are premium cigars, we forget that some people are out to defraud the connoisseur with fakes. You may pay a pretty penny for these cigars, but imagine lighting up something that tastes less than perfect.

How do you tell premium cigars [http://www.onlinecigarsource.com/Cuban_Cigars_2/] from the fraudulent ones? The packaging, the colors and the labels. The knockoffs will not have the same fine quality packaging that the originals have. You might look at the wrap, the paper wraps and the tips. Premium cigars are perfect with perfect packaging. If you have a doubt about the cigar, you are probably right about it being a fake. You have to use your knowledge and take into consideration the overall look. Different premium cigars have a distinctive color wrapper, whether it is darker or lighter, this is one sure way to see if you have a fake or the real thing.

Many tobacco shops offer samples and this either breaks the deal or seals the deal when looking for premium cigars. If you have a Cuban cigar in your hand, check the seal. The Cuban seals are distinctive and flawless. No other company can reproduce the seal and placement as the original Cuban company. If you find true premium cigars such as the Cuban cigars, you will be one lucky connoisseur. If you find a knockoff, you might have a less than perfect experience with cigar smoking as some are very bitter. Look for a seal and the right packaging before buying and lighting up that supposed premium cigar.

Essential Cigar Accessories


What are the essential accessories you need to smoke a cigar? You may think that you simply have to light the cigar and puff away. However, fully enjoying the cigar and smoking it the right way involves some accessories.

Get to know cigars first. Do this by buying a cigar magazine or getting some information online. Then, go to a tobacconist to check out some cigars. The tobacconist will give you his advice on the cigars he stocks.

Buy a cigar humidor. Humidors are usually made of wood, though I saw a marble one on Amazon the other day, and keep the humidity and temperature in the humidor at a certain level to preserve the cigars. Cigar humidors usually hold 20 or 25 cigars.

Get a cigar holder so that they don't get crushed or dirty. Some cigar holders hold up to 3 cigars while some hold only 1. Purchasing a cigar holder is a must if you like smoking cigars at any time.

Get a cigar cutter. The best ones are made of stainless steel and feature a double blade design. The blades are extremely sharp so take caution when using it. Cigar cutters usually come in a practical, compact size.

Cigar punchers are great if you do not wish to use a cigar cutter. While the cigar puncher essentially achieves the same goal as the cigar cutter, it is more compact and classy.

Instead of using a match or a conventional lighter to light your cigar, get a proper cigar lighter. They come in a tube shape and are very efficient because you they include a cutter. So, you simply put one end of the cigar in to cut and then flip it around to light it. The cigar lighters use butane and are sold empty.
