I really don’t know anything about cigars so if anyone could steer me to any websites with good information and good prices on cigar related stuff, I would be real appreciative. Thanks.

Few would argue that dads are modern-day knights in shining armor. They valiantly fix flats at all hours of the day, mow the lawn and trim the hedges every weekend and dads always have a bit of sagely advice to give at the right moment. Dads also like cigars (but don’t tell mom because she might not know!). Some dads smoke cigars more than others, but a good cigar as a “Thank you for being dad” is always appreciated. With so many cigars to choose from how do you know which cigar to get good ol’ dad? Take Pete, Dave, Ron and Danny for example, each is a father with a different affinity for cigars, and each has his own favorite cigar. Let me share with you each father’s story to help you decide what the right cigar for your dad is.
Pete the mechanic is a proud father of four. Every year Pete purchases an old clunker to rebuild; it’s his favorite hobby. Once Pete has built new life into the car, he sells it. He does this once a year and celebrates the with his favorite stogie. This is the only time Pete smokes a cigar, thus Pete enjoys a mild cigar that won’t put him on his butt from too much nicotine. Pete’s favorite fine cigar is the AVO Classic Cigar No. 3. Blended with five different leaves, this cigar provides plenty of flavor, and it’s super smooth.Dave the pilot is a commercial airline pilot. Like Pete, Dave has four kids. Dave the pilot is a “special occasion” cigar smoker. Every holiday, birthday and vacation Dave likes to enjoy his favorite stogie. Dave the Pilot prefers the medium body of the Arturo Fuente – Don Carlos Cigar. Dave loves the hint of sweetness from the Cameroon wrapper/leaf, and how the cigar is always rich with flavor.
Ron, a proud father of two, can be found on the golf course every other weekend. Ron can’t drive the ball that well, but his putting game is pretty good. Ron got into the habit of smoking fine cigars whenever he plays golf with his buddies. Ron first started off with mild cigars then transitioned to medium bodied cigars. Now, golfer Ron enjoys a medium to full-bodied cigar when he hits the course. For Ron’s money, there is nothing better than a Padron Series 6000 Natural cigar. Sun grown and aged for a minimum of 2 1/2 years the Padron Series 6000 natural cigar makes every golf outing a memorable one.Danny owns a cigar shop. The cigar shop is called “Cigars, Cigars, Cigars” and he runs it with his oldest son Jack. Danny’s father passed “Cigars, Cigars, Cigars” down to him and one day Danny will pass it down to Jack. So what does a man with access to a huge variety of cigars smoke on special occasions? The answer is simple, anything he wants! But Cigar Shop Owner Danny likes his cigars full-bodied and full of favor. He reaches for a Padron 1926 Anniversary Maduro cigar when he celebrates. The tobacco in this cigar has been aged 5 years and blended to give a complex and balanced smoke. Danny loves how the spicy flavor tickles the palette every time.Four different dads, four different cigar palettes, each enjoys a good cigar their own way. Pete the mechanic ends each rebuild with a mild AVO Classic Cigar No. 3. Dave the Pilot has a box of Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Cigars, a medium-bodied cigar for special occasions. Golfer Ron only smokes Padron Series 6000 natural cigars on the golf course, and Cigar shop owner Danny, who will one day give the shop to his eldest son Jack, craves the spicy aged 1926 Anniversary Padron.

A cigar shop is a retail establishment that exists either as a storefront or an online catalogue. A walk-in store gives the smoker access to the most premium, fine cigars. It also gives the new smoker or the smoker on a budget, access to less expensive or newer brands.
One of the great things about a storefront cigar shop is it also gives smokers a place to actually smoke, and it also maintains a wait staff who can attend to clientele and answer questions.
An online cigar shop is a virtual realm that replaces the old storefront. It transcends geography, and it gives smokers from all over the world access to a very large inventory. A community management program is initiated to provide clients with customer service, specials, and information. Online cigar stores also offer a variety of prices so people on a budget can also enjoy fine tobacco.
Regardless of whether or not you are walking into a storefront cigar shop or surfing the catalog of an online equivalent, you can always count on finding premium cigar brands, less well-known but very good brands, cigar lighters, cigar cutters, and cigar humidors.
Many cigar stores also carry specialty cigarettes, such as electronic cigarettes, or cigarettes made from additive free tobacco. Many also carry pipes and pipe tobacco as well.
Gift items are also very popular through online resources. Cigars can now be purchased in gift packages, and special accessories like coffee mugs, special ashtrays, and golf cart clips can also be obtained. Such gifts can be great gestures of appreciation in a world that seems to be appreciating smokers less and less on a daily basis.
But who needs them when we have each other, right?
As things have changed in this great and mysterious world that we live in, so, too, has the old imagery and feel of many cigar shops changed. What we often visualize as iconic is really a memory of a bygone era.
That is not to say that you will not find the same images and motifs present in a modern cigar lounge or store, but there is a greater diversity of products and clear evidence of globalization in even the smallest of haunts these days.
In the old days there was little difference between what we now call a cigar lounge and a cigar shop. Both were places to purchase and smoke cigars, and smaller stores had limited inventories or maybe even only a handful of brands to offer. In those days as well, many European immigrants to the United States were truly and utterly illiterate and could not read even so much as a sign over the door of a store.
So it was decided by cigar store owners at that time to symbolize the establishment with a wooden statue of a Native American man or woman standing at the door. This symbol was chosen because Native Americans introduced Europeans to tobacco when first contact was made between the two cultures.
Today, it is considered bad form to use a racial symbol like this. It promotes a negative stereotype of Native American people, and it is also no longer necessary, considering how European-Americans have since learned to read, and even shop online.
