Cigars

I am a cigar smoker, for me there is something wonderful about having a good cigar with a friend while we solve all the world's problems. In today's U.S. there is a large group that wants to create a nanny state where our choices are dictated to us. This has led to not the loss of the evening cigar, but an increase in the consumption of premium cigars and cigar clubs. Even as adults, tell us that we can not do something we will then want to do it even more. Rant ended.

What is a good cigar, how do I enjoy one, and what is to much to pay for a cigar? These are just some of the questions that people have about cigars and I want to answer these questions and more, with the goal of bringing more people into the world of premium cigars.

First is that I only smoke premium cigars, these are hand rolled all natural tobacco. There are no additives in them and they do cost quite a bit more than what most people would think they would want to spend. A good cigar can be found for five to six dollars, but they can retail for more than $30 per cigar. For some hard to find cigars, they can go as high as $100 or more at auction. I can not afford these cigars, and like wine just because something is more expensive does not mean that it tastes best. Remember that one should smoke what he/she enjoys and not what someone tells you to.

I smoke different cigars and I am always on the look out for new cigars to enjoy. But there is always a staple cigar in my humidor that no matter what I can pull it out and know that I will enjoy it. For me that cigar is the Padron 1964 anniversary edition maduro. This cigar is expensive retailing for about $14 a cigar, so I do not smoke them too often.

The Padron 1964 maduro has a perfect draw and constant even burn. The cigar has chocolate and coffee tastes that intermingle with a natural sweetness that makes this smoke nirvana like when smoking one. If I am in just a bad mood, my wife gives me one of these cigars and makes me go smoke one. Cause when I am done I am always in a good mood afterwards.

Premium cigars are a wonderful past time that brings us together and creates lasting friendships. Please post what your favorite cigar is and why. I will be posting more cigar reviews in the future.
