Cigar Shapes and Sizes-11march14

Philippines Bar and Pub near Manila in Angeles City Clark Philippines shares a few interesting thoughts, reports, articles, ideas, suggestions and news about matters to do with dining, nightlife, restaurants, bars, pubs, food and beverage, wine and dine, parties and other aspects of the pub lifestyle.

One of the most common ways to categorize cigars is by their shape and size. Although this sounds simple, it can be very confusing. For many years, the cigar industry has been using terms such as Corona and Panatela, which correspond to the approximate length and width of the cigar, not the manufacturer or brand. Although most manufacturers use commonly accepted size names to describe their cigars, the actual size of a particularly named cigar can vary among manufacturers. In addition, cigars are now available in many more dimensions that were available in the past, and many manufacturers have created their own names for certain sizes. It is not too uncommon to find 2 cigars of the same size, made by different companies, that have different names to describe the size.

Are Numbers Better Than Names?

To avoid confusion, it is easier to refer to a cigar’s length and width to describe its size. The length is measured in inches, while the width is measured by ring gauge, which is the diameter expressed in 64ths of an inch. Despite all the inconsistencies with cigar names, it is still more interesting (and colorful) to describe the different sizes and shapes of cigars with names rather than with numbers. This is all part of the cigar mystique.

Names For Cigar Shapes

You may never have to use the terms that refer to the shape of a cigar, since most of the common names for cigars are usually associated with their size. This is because most cigars are shaped like a cylinder, and are considered as having a parejo shape. A cigar with an irregular shape (e.g. having a cone shaped head) is considered to be a figurado. The technical term to encompass both size and shape is vitola.

Common Names For Cigar Sizes

There are many names for the various sizes (and shapes) of cigars, but here are just a few of the more common terms that you may encounter, and the approximate range of their dimensions. The ranges listed can be even wider, despite any overlapping.

Name	Length	Ring Gauge
Corona	5 ½ to 6	42 to 45
Panatela	5 ½ to 6 ½	34 to 38
Lonsdale	6 to 6 ½	42 to 44
Churchill	6 ½ to 7	46 to 48
Robusto	4 ½ to 5	48 to 50
Toro	6 to 6 ½	48 to 50
Presidente	7 to 8 ½	52 to 60
Torpedo (Cone Shaped Head)	5 ½ to 6 ½	46 to 52

About counterfeit cigars-11march14

london pub — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 09:41:10 +0000

Counterfeit cigars in Cuba too
The counterfeit cigar is also a problem in Cuba. The only way to get true cigars is to buy them at the official stores. Indeed, Havana hides many workshops producing counterfeits cigars and a huge network of retailers. Practically all the cigars resulting from these parallel networks are imitations.
Non-official Havana cigars made in the factory
Good to know: In Cuba, each torcedor can roll cigars for his personal use on his own time. He can do this at work and with his own tobacco. Thus, you could buy a box directly from a torcedor, at the entrance of the factory, and get counterfeit cigars.
How good or bad is an imitation?
A counterfeit cigar will not be inevitably bad; You can find various qualities on the parallel market. Some are not smokable, stuffed with paper and reject material, or quite simply badly rolled, and others can be done with cuban tobacco and of good quality.
The cost of a counterfeit cigar
Should you travel to Cuba or elsewhere, if you plan to buy cigars directly from someone at a very (too) attractive price, and through the non official market, the point is to buy these cigars for what they are (most probably imitations) and pay for your box accordingly. If you pay 30 $US a box, then okay, that’s a good deal.
Why does a counterfeit cigar in Cuba should be different than official Havana cigars?
Just like some prestigious French wines, the Havana is the result of complex procedures and know-how. In all this process, let’s just mention the selection of particular tobaccos by the expert of the factory, blend of 3 types of leaves (ligero, seco and volado) in a way that will give to the cigar its identity and a taste in conformity with the brand.
If I could have the opportunuty to take care of a single vine in the best French vineyard, I would not for sure produce an exceptionnal wine, even with the best conditions. The same applies to the counterfeit cigars in Cuba: You could find there some suitable and even tasty cigars, but keep in mind that they will be completely different than the brand printed on the box.
Yes you can buy some Cohiba, Montecristo or whatever from the grey market, but do not pay more than 20 or 30$ a box (and definitely not 300$!). Smoke your cigars for what they are: modest (and maybe interesting) cigars but not Espendidos.

Hand Rolled Cigars the Best Choice for Connoisseurs and Beginners-11march14

london pub — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 09:26:44 +0000

The most basic method of categorizing cigars is by the method in which they are made. Cigars are either rolled by hand, or manufactured by machines. The novice smoker may be tempted to start by trying those machine made brands sold in Drug Stores, such as Dutch Masters or El Producto. However, the aspiring connoisseur should consider spending a few more pennies and moving up to hand rolled cigars, which are sold online or at a local tobacconist.

Hand Rolled Cigars Are Made With Pure Tobacco

The filler in machine made cigars is not 100% tobacco, but may contain paper, preservatives, and various chemicals. On the other hand, a hand made cigar consists of the filler, the binder to hold the filler, and the outer wrapper, all consisting of 100% tobacco. Most of the tobacco in hand rolled cigars is imported from other countries, such as the Dominican Republic. For the most part, such tobacco has a much better flavor than what is used in the machine made cigars. Although long filler is used in cigars which are totally made by hand, it is noted that some cigars are mislabeled as hand made because the wrapper was rolled by hand over a binder containing short filler, which was bunched and bound by machines.

Not All Hand Rolled Cigars Are Expensive

Although hand rolled cigars are more expensive than those mass produced by machines, there are many inexpensive hand rolled cigars with prices of $1.00 or less. It is not unusual for a local tobacconists to have grab bags or bins of single cigars priced as low as one dollar. It is also possible to purchase boxes or bundles of inexpensive hand rolled cigars online. Even the premium cigar maker Arturo Fuente offers low-price cigars that taste great, such as the Curly Head (Compare Prices). Curly Heads are among the first hand rolled cigars that I ever smoked, and though mild and a bit rustic, they are still appealing to me after my palate has matured over many years. When purchased by the box, the cost is only $1.50 per stick at some cigar retailers.

Daily Smokers Vs Connoisseurs

Individual cigar smokers have their own unique tastes, and have their own individual financial constraints. Those who enjoy smoking several cigars per day may need an “everyday” cigar that is inexpensive. Therefore, the taste and cost of machine made cigars can be very attractive to some smokers. However, to the aspiring or experienced connoisseurs, the ones who enjoy an occasional cigar as a special treat, the hand rolled cigar is worth every penny.

Beers, cigars and fine pub food aside, this bar in Angeles Philippines Clark Freeport Zone also offers a refreshingly interesting wine list, a good selection of wine served by the glass also.

Cigar speak-11march14

london pub — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 09:23:05 +0000

Abstract
I feel comfortable in saying that Body and Strength are not the same… nor are Flavor and Strength… or Scent and Aroma… or Body and Overall Quality. In the most common parlance of cigar appreciation, each of these terms seems to hold its own distinct, special meaning.

After sorting through the essential ideas and, most importantly, listening carefully to how smokers engage in “cigar speak”… I’ve
found that several common terms are central:

STRENGTH… FLAVOR… BODY…

AROMA… SCENT…

VALUE… OVERALL QUALITY

The most valuable opinions are the ones that help facilitate communications…

…and, this is why I’ve made a project of trying to understand and
compile the most common language of cigars.

I don’t mean to say that it’s a cut and dry, by any means. You will find a wide difference of opinion regarding even the most basic terminology… however, what I have to offer are the mass or average opinions… distilled from discussions with many cigar makers, as well as hundreds of cigar enthusiasts, and the reading of dozens and dozens of books and articles on the subject.

I’ve managed to piece together what I believe is a unified set of cigar tasting terms, and a logical way for them to all work together. I encourage your input, criticism and discussion in its evolution…

Strength
Strength is a measure of nicotine only… it’s a cigar’s “kick.” A very strong cigar delivers a lot of nicotine… examples: the Habanos Bolivar Belicosos Fino, or El Credito’s El Rico Habanos are very strong cigars; and the Dominican Romeo y Julieta Vintage Series are comparatively mild in terms of their strength. Most smokers, even experienced ones, get a nicotine kick or buzz from strong cigars.

Depending on your condition (e.g., thin, over-weight, over-tired, just
ate, empty stomach, drunk, etc., etc.)… a very strong cigar can produce either very pleasant feelings or very unpleasant ones… like feeling “lucid, mildly euphoric and/or energized”… or feeling “dizzy, green, nauseous and sweaty”. That’s nicotine… and it is a cigar’s strength.

Inhaling very strong cigars, even once by accident, should be avoided,
IMO. The nicotine will send you for a loop and likely detract from the overall experience. In fact, inhaling of any tobacco smoke should be avoided all together. FWIW, my detailed survey of nearly 200 ASCers in 1996 found that only 4% of those polled did inhale cigar smoke all the time.

Aside from its heady kick, nicotine can frequently be noted as a peppery or warming tingle on the lips and tongue, even before the cigar is lit. To enhance to your smoking experience, you might want to make a practice of tasting a cigar right before you light it up, for 15 seconds, or so. Just let your lips and tongue moisten the wrapper and the filler in the freshly clipped foot of your cigar… it’s a quick way to judge the strength of the smoke to come… and, you’ll also get an idea of how much of the flavor of the cigar comes from the taste (non-nicotine oils) of the wrapper and clipped foot, as opposed to the smoke itself. (You’ll be surprised how much it is!)

It’s also worth noting that young or “green” cigars (less than 3 months old) are at their peak nicotine concentrations (or strength). While aged cigars seem to mellow out, and loose strength over the years… with cigars 20-30 years old having very little kick (nicotine) left.

I rate a cigar’s “strength” (or nicotine delivery) on a 6-point strength continuum, or scale, as follows:

mild (or weak)
mild-average
average
average-strong
strong
very strong (or, “strong as balls!”)

And, I personally feel that a cigar’s strength (nicotine) is generally not related to the “Overall Quality” (see below). However, stronger cigars have proven to age better and longer… and retain acceptable smoking characteristics for years longer than milder cigars do.

Flavor
A full-flavored cigar (which should not be confused with purposely
flavored cigars, such as vanilla treated cigars like Ornelas, or herb
enhanced blends like the Lars Tetens) is not necessarily a strong cigar. Flavor does not equal strength, even when the cigar is very flavorful. Nicotine does not give tobacco it’s unique tastes or flavors to any significant degree.

Aside from the particular SEED VARIETY (e.g., Cuban Seed, etc.), it’s the SOIL and CLIMATE where the leaf is cultivated that contributes most to a cigar’s distinctive flavors… as does when and how the leaf is harvested and fermented. Other “flavor factors” include: aging, blending, construction, storage and the density, length and girth of a cigar.

Flavor refers specifically to the: NATURE and DEPTH of tastes a cigar
produces on the palate and lips, and sometimes in the nose and throat as well.

The _nature_ of a cigar’s tastes are most often expressed through
adjectives which are used to describe the kind of flavor (and scent/aroma) a cigar gives the impression of (e.g., nutty, coffee, cherry, sweet, salty, apricot, dog sh*t, chocolate, green tobacco, mature tobacco, acidic/fruity, leather, yummy, delicious, etc…. the list goes on and on)… and the _depth_ of that taste or flavor is a matter of degree… it can run the gamut from massive… to very little flavor (and is totally unrelated to the nicotine or strength.)

I’ve come to rate a cigar’s “depth of flavor” (or intensity of taste) on a 6-point flavor depth continuum, or scale, as follows:

bland (flat or no flavor to speak of)
hints
overtones
decidedly
rich (or full)
massive (or gushing)

So, in practice, you would say that a particular cigar had “hints of oak and coffee”; or a different cigar would have a “decided taste of
expresso”; or another might be “massively earthy and yummy.” Essentially, for Flavor descriptors, you combine a depth/intensity
adjective with a flavor/nature adjective.

Time is a third variable in flavor appreciation. The flavor (and it’s intensity) of a fine cigar will change throughout the smoke. Initially the length and girth of a cigar act to filter the smoke, delivering a cooler and less intense experience on the palate. As the cigar burns down, and as the tars build up, collecting and concentrating in a smaller and smaller remnant, the flavors (and strength) evolve and intensify… with the final quarter of your cigar delivering the most complex and dramatic flavors. (And, this can be both good and bad… from sublime to harsh.)

Sometimes you hear smokers say that a cigar is boring. I take this to mean that it’s either bland, or that the flavor does not evolve over the smoke. Just imagine smoking a 9 inch cigar for two-and-a-half-hours (like a fake Monty A)… and, the cigar simply didn’t do anything new as it burned down… now, that’s boring.

And BTW, high quality cigars are never ever boring. In particular, I have enjoyed quite a few very memorable cigars, which I have termed
“chameleons”… because of their keen ability to deliver as many as 5
distinctive taste experiences… each unfolding individually, as the cigar burned down to its nub. Aside from several very expensive brands, I’ve found this most generally in cigars which have been aged the longest… with their smoking experience going from very measured, mild tastes at the light-up, to a lip licking sweet tobacco syrup, by the end. In fact, sometimes I wondered if the cigars were rolled in progressive layers of different leaf blends, to purposely achieve that “chameleon effect.”

So, as I hope you can see, talking about a cigar’s flavor is a big
topic… incorporating: intensity… tastes… evolution… complexity.

Scent, Aroma & Stink
Just a quick sidebar on “cigar smell.” Scent and Aroma are the parts of a cigar that your nose enjoys (or perhaps on occasion, it doesn’t.) What I’d like to point out is the difference between SCENT and AROMA, and what role they play in the taste and enjoyment of a cigar.

The scent of a good cigar is what you imagine the cigar smells like before you light- up. When you open a box of cigars and put it to your nose, and declare, “Ahh, I love that tobacco smell!, or, I love the smell of this humidor”… what you’re talking about is the _scent_ of cigars.

A cigar’s joy begins well before you light up. It begins the moment you select your smoke and luxuriate in that gentle, sweet scent of properly fermented tobacco. Sometimes I’ll just open up my humidor and put my nose in for a few deep whiffs… absolutely delightful, every single time. How many times have you thought that the smell of fresh ground coffee is a pleasure unto itself? Well, the same is true of cigars… so, don’t miss it.

Aroma, on the other hand, is what you smell after you’ve lit up your stogie. It’s what other people will notice first when they walk into a room where smoking is going on.

I find that the aroma of a cigar contributes to its taste in a substantive way. How substantive? To see just how much… go in your backyard when no one’s home some afternoon, and put a clothes pin on your old schnoz… then, go ahead and smoke one of your favorite cigars for about 10-15 minutes. Yes… aroma does make a huge difference. Even if you don’t inhale or French inhale, the aroma of a cigar somehow gets into your nose and works its magic on your taste buds.

So, the lesson here is, when you’re looking for adjectives to help
describe your cigar’s flavor… don’t forget to look in the aroma
department for a few clues. Flavors like earthy, musty or loamy and
cedary, woodsy or leathery… are arguably more than a third due to your cigar’s aroma (with another third from the taste of the wrapper on your tongue and lips, and the final third being the smoke itself on your palate.)

Once you know where to look for a cigar’s flavors, you’ll be
surprised just how different the cigars you smoke actually can taste… and, how well you to be able to describe those elusive tastes and flavors… you know, all the ones you thought were just other people’s over- active imaginations.

Oh, yes… and, to fully understand stink, just leave your cigar butt in the ash tray for a day or two, in a room with little ventilation. There’s nothing good about a cigar butt… except, of course, the memories it might elicit.

One of the worst cigar lessons I ever learned was in my last year of
graduate school, back in the mid-70s. I lit up an expensive cigar, and soon realized that I didn’t really have the time to fully smoke it down… so, being a thrifty guy, I clipped the ash end off, and threw it back in my little humidor to finish the next day. Well, when I opened the box the next day… pee-ewe!!… what a friggin’ stink. That cigar remnant stunk so bad it not only tainted the scent of the other cigars in my humidor… it ruined the humidor itself… and took a week of sitting out in the open sun, to get most of the stink out. Bottom-line: Once smoked… all cigars stink to high hell.

Body
First a word of caution… this is heavily debated territory. I use the
term body to describe the aggregate impression you get while
smoking a cigar. However, Body it does NOT incorporate Overall Quality.
Body is a subjective composite of the combination of:

FLAVOR (nutty, smoky, coffee, bitter,
woodsy, sweet, etc.),
DEPTH of flavor (bland, hints, overtones,
massive, etc.),
TEXTURE (creamy, smooth, biting, etc.),
VOLUME of smoke per puff (thin, generous,
thick, etc.)
AFTERTASTE and its persistence on your
palate (a cigar’s “length” or “finish”),
and to a much lesser degree, IMO,
STRENGTH (or nicotine).

A “full bodied cigar” is usually a stronger cigar with masses of flavor,
volumes of smoke and a lingering aftertaste. It is full in so many
dimensions, that many smokers refer to this complex set of sensory
impressions as “lush” or “chewy” or “huge”.

I’ve come to rate a cigar’s Body (or as some say, “Bones”) on a 6-point
body continuum, or scale, as follows:

light bodied
light/medium bodied
medium bodied
medium/full bodied
full bodied
very full bodied… or, robust

However, a full bodied cigar may not necessarily be a high quality

cigar… or, an enjoyable cigar either.

Overall Quality
A high-quality cigar (i.e., its “overall quality”) is one which is
in total balance and generously flavored… at best,
full-bodied, balanced and VERY PLEASANT IN ALL RESPECTS. Most
importantly, it is a reflection of each smoker’s personal set of
expectations and preferences.

To me, a cigar’s overall quality (my overall rating, if you will) is a
function of the depth and nature of flavor/taste, the smoothness vs. bite,
the aroma, burn and coolness, flawless physical construction, scent and
finally, the consistency of all of the above over a full box, or even
better, over several boxes. However, you will surely find others here who
will require a cigar to be strong to be considered of high quality…
that’s a matter of personal taste, and that’s why getting together with a
bunch of dedicated herfers is the best fun of all!
In terms of a continuum (or overall rating system) from a quality
perspective, I have developed a personal evaluation scale, over that past
20 years (borrowing much from how wine is tasted and evaluated). Here’s my
20-point OVERALL QUALITY cigar rating scale, if you’re interested:

JC’s Cigar Rating Scale (for Overall Ratings)

20 = MAGIC.

Possibly one of the 2 or 3 best cigars in the world. It’s worth
missing a mortgage payment to buy a box, if you can find them.

18 = WORLD CLASS.

One of the two best in it’s size category for starters. Perfectly
balanced. One hell of a terrific smoke from its unlit scent right down to
its delicious lingering aftertaste. Leaves you wanting another
immediately.

16 = VERY SPECIAL.

A blow-away smoke.

14 = SPECIAL.

No flaws. Rich, forthcoming, complex tastes and enticing aromas.

12 = VERY PLEASANT.

An above average premium smoke.

10 = PLEASANT.

A cigar good enough to be your regular “house cigar.” It always
delivers enough flavor and satisfaction to remind you just how much you
love cigars.

8 = NICE.

A few tiny flaws. You wouldn’t buy a box.

6 = FAIR.

Noticeable flaws, definitely not a total experience.

4 = UNDISTINGUISHED.

No personality, if all cigars were like this, there wouldn’t be a
cigar industry.

2 = POOR.

Strange flavors, a lousy smoke.

0 = AVOID.

Bane, lethal, sickening, spoiled.

However, a High Quality cigar is not necessarily a good VALUE cigar.

Value… and Beyond!
To many cigar smokers, value is a common denominator, a personal benchmark
of sorts. Value is not the same as cost, however.

Cost simply reflects what people can be convinced to pay for a
cigar… and, more often than not, it is a function of advertising
investment and brand prestige… and, not quality, rarity or manufacturing
expense.

Value is a subjective perception derived from considering the
relationship between Cost and Quality….. the Quality that you yourself
perceive (and no one else!)

Essentially, a great value is simply the best cigar you can buy, at
the lowest price. However, there are plenty of shades of gray in between
great and garbage.

To me, Value is a fun pastime when I’m thinking about cigars… trying to
figure out what the best cigar in the world might be… the best Value,
that is. Once you’ve smoked and “rated” a hundred different cigars,
you’ll be in a better position to begin to discern Value. And, after a
thousand, Value becomes obvious.

Value??? Is that $484 Havana Trinidad a good Value… or, is that $8.30
Dominican Fuente Trinidad a better Value?… or, is that $4.00 Fuente
8-5-8 an even better Value? Is any Cuban cigar a better Value that the
average non-Cuban? Are Hondurans generally better Values than Nicaraguans
or Dominicans? Can any cigar be a Value if it costs over $10?

Dangers and facts about cigar smoking-11march14

london pub — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 09:21:23 +0000

Young Americans are picking up cigar smoking in increasing numbers. This growing trend is due in part to big tobacco’s efforts to glamorize cigar smoking and has been reinforced by the movie industry. The portrayal of stars smoking in movies is influential, and often directly aimed at young people.

Many people are under the misconception that smoking a cigar is a safe alternative to cigarette smoking. It is not.

Let’s take a look at some of the facts about the dangers of cigar smoking:

Cigars are Addictive

Nicotine is the addictive ingredient in any tobacco product. Cigars have a high level of nicotine in them; usually many times that of cigarettes. In fact, some premium cigars have as much nicotine in them as an entire pack of cigarettes, or more. If cigar smoke is inhaled, nicotine will enter the bloodstream through the lungs. If not, the nicotine is absorbed through the lining of the mouth. Cigar smoke dissolves more easily in saliva than cigarette smoke because its composition is alkaline. This allows for quick absorption of nicotine, producing dependence without inhalation.

Cigar Smoking and Cancer

Oral cancer, including cancers of the lip, tongue, mouth and throat

Esophageal cancer
Both cigarette and cigar smokers share a similar risk for cancers of the oral cavity and esophagus.
People who smoke 1 or 2 cigars daily double their risk of oral and esophageal cancer over nonsmokers. Those who smoke 3 to 4 cigars a day increase their risk of oral cancers by 8 times and esophageal cancers by 4 times that of nonsmokers. Risk factors for people who are occasional cigar smokers (less than daily) are not known.
Lung cancer – the risk is less than that of cigarette smokers, because most people do not inhale cigar smoke. It has been found however, that current and former cigarette smokers are more likely to inhale cigar smoke.
Cancer of the pancreas
Cancer of the bladder

Cigar Smoking and Heart Disease

Cigar smoking is hard on the heart. A 25 year long study published in the Journal of American Medical Association reported that cigar smokers may suffer as much as 27 percent more risk than that of nonsmokers for coronary heart disease. The study looked at approximately 18,000 men, between the ages of 30 and 85. Over 1500 of them were cigar smokers, and it was discovered that these people suffered more occurrences of heart disease than did their nonsmoking counterparts.

Cigar Smoking and COPD

Cigar smokers are at an increased risk over nonsmokers for chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Most cigar smokers don’t inhale, so the risk of COPD is less than that of cigarette smokers. A U.S. study reports that cigar smokers have up to 45 percent greater risk of COPD than that of nonsmokers.

Cigar Smoking and Early Tooth Loss

There is evidence showing that cigar and pipe smoking may also lead to early tooth loss according to a study published in the January 1999 issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association. Researchers from Boston University followed 690 men over the course of 23 years and concluded that those who smoked cigars were 30 percent more likely to lose their teeth than nonsmokers. Pipe smokers were 60 percent more likely suffer early tooth loss than nonsmokers. Cigar and pipe smokers are also at an increased risk for alveolar bone loss.

Cigar smoking is dangerous. All forms of tobacco have risks associated with them, and cigars are no different. Don’t be fooled. There is no such thing as a risk-free tobacco product.

Top 10 Occasions for Smoking Cigars-11march14

london pub — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 09:19:13 +0000

There are many special times that are conducive to celebrating with a fine cigar. Here is our very own Top 10 List of special occasions for smoking cigars.

1. Weddings – Especially Your Own

Weddings are the best occasions for smoking cigars. Celebrate with family and friends, and smoke any kind of cigar, even the machine made cigars wrapped in “Just Married” cellophane wrappers. Weddings make for the best photo opportunities, with cigars in hand (and mouth).

2. Birth of a Baby

A close second to weddings, it is customary for the new father to pass around cigars to family and friends. Like weddings, machine made cigars wrapped in “It’s a Boy” or “It’s a Girl” cellophane wrappers will do just fine.

3. New Job, Promotion or Major Accomplishment

It is time to celebrate one of life’s milestones by firing up a fine stogie.

4. New Year’s Eve

An old year is almost over, better kiss it goodbye with a premium hand rolled cigar. A new year is about begin, better start it off right with a premium hand rolled cigar.

5. While Gambling

Not just the mandatory cigars required at poker games, but also while enjoying those free cocktails when playing blackjack or the slots at a casino.

6. Your Birthday

It’s your day, do whatever you want, as long as you celebrate.

7. While Enjoying an Aesthetic Experience

Smoking a cigar will enhance and prolong an aesthetic experience. Do you remember that movie about a Vacation starring Chevy Chase, the one where he and his family visited the Grand Canyon on their trip west? They drove all that way to get there, then after taking just a quick look he says something like: Well, there it is, then they drive away. With a view like that, you have to stop and smell the cigar smoke.

8. After Thanksgiving Dinner

After enjoying the biggest meal of the year, you need to relax with a fine cigar and a dessert drink to help digest all that food.

9. It’s the Weekend!

It’s time to celebrate, relax, and just enjoy a smoke.

10. The Fourth of July

Celebrate your freedom, that is what cigar smoking is all about. Besides, a lit cigar is the best way to ignite fireworks.

How to smoke a cigar like a pro: Cigar smoking is a culture in itself.-11march14

london pub — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 09:17:39 +0000

It you think that all you have to do to exude an air of class while smoking a cigar is inhale (which should not be done) and exhale, do not go near a cigar before reading this!

Cigar smoking is a culture in itself, and in order to appear Cary Grant-like, you must know how to cut a cigar, light it and finally, smoke it.

choosing a cigar

When purchasing a cigar, either from a tobacco shop or a site like Canadian Cigar Company, there are certain things you should keep in mind:

The length and diameter of the cigar is related to the intensity of the cigar. So if you’re a novice cigar-smoker, then you may want a longer, thinner cigar (with cooler smoke) rather than a small stubby one, which may make you cough some.

Verify the quality of the cigar by squeezing it slightly to make sure there are no lumps in the it, and check to ensure that the tobacco at the end of it is not discolored. Also, avoid purchasing cigars with discolored wrappers.

Remember that if you’re purchasing cigars in the United States, you’d be hard-pressed to find Cubans, which is too bad, as these are top quality stogies.

Ask the salesperson whether the cigar consists of 100% tobacco — that’s what you want.

Cigar types

Although cigars are broken down into groups, depending on where they’re made and the tobacco leaves used, here are several categories of cigars classified by their shape and size.

Churchill
Measures 7 inches by 47-ring gauge (refers to the measurement for the diameter of a cigar). Named after Winston Churchill himself, who made the cigar one of his trademarks.

Corona (not the beer)
Measures 6 inches by 42-ring gauge. The standard by which other cigars are manufactured, the corona has an open foot (the end you light) and a closed head (the end you smoke), which is usually rounded.

Pyramid
Has a pointed, closed head.

Robusto
5 inches by 50-ring gauge.

Torpedo
Has a pointed head, closed foot and a bulge in the middle.

Panatelas
At 7 inches by 38-ring gauge, these are usually longer and thinner than coronas.

Culebras
Three Panatelas braided together to form one cigar.

Diademas
8 inches or longer, this large cigar usually has an open foot.

Perfecto
Similar to the torpedo, except that it has two closed ends with a bulge in the middle. A rounder cigar.
