It’s perfectly understandable for you to be a bit intimidated by all the information out there about cigars. You might even be a little anxious if you’re trying to figure out which cigar is best for you.
But consider this: do you have to be an expert in the nuances and eccentricities of baseball in to enjoy a game? Do you have to possess an encyclopedic knowledge of whiskey in to enjoy a nice after dinner drink? Do you have to know the ins and outs of hops, barley, and wheat just to enjoy a cold beer?
You see the point: an in-depth familiarity with cigars is not necessary to enjoy them. All you need to know are a few basic attributes about cigars, and you’ll soon be smoking them like a true connoisseur.
Time of Day
The first thing you should know is that certain cigars generally go better with specific times of day. Conventional wisdom maintains that if you are planning to smoke in the morning, then smaller, milder cigars are the most appropriate. Cigars of medium flavor and size are usually preferred during the afternoon hours. And if you are lighting up a stogie at night, you should choose the longest and boldest-flavored cigars in your collection.
Cost
It’s easy to assume that the more expensive the cigar is, the better its quality will be. But you should know that this is not necessarily the case. As with wine or cars, you can certainly find high-quality cigars in any price range. When you are at a smoke shop, don’t be afraid to reveal your budget to the associate. He can probably pick out a few cigars which would meet your needs without sacrificing quality.
Color
If you do any cigar browsing at all, you will see that there are dozens of possible different colors associated with cigars. But they all generally fall somewhere within this scale:
Double Claro: light green wrapper, very mild flavor
Claro: light tan wrapper, smooth and mild flavor
Natural: light brown wrapper, full bodied flavor
Colorado: reddish dark brown wrapper, robust and rich flavor
Colorado Maduro: dark brown wrapper, aromatic and rich flavor
Maduro: very dark brown wrapper, sweet and strong flavor
Oscuro: nearly black wrapper, very strong flavor
if you see a wrapper shade with a hue is slightly between the colors mentioned above, you can extrapolate what the flavor will be accordingly.
Size
Does cigar size really matter? The answer is: it depends. Different-sized cigars lend themselves to different cigar-smoking experiences. As you might expect, longer cigars take more time to smoke – which could translate into more enjoyment while you smoke them. But the length of the stogie is not related to the cigar’s actual quality.
That being said, you should know how cigars are measured. The length of cigars is recorded in inches. But the width of the cigar is denoted in what is called ring gauge. The ring gauge is shown in increments of 64th of an inch. So for instance, a ring gauge of 56 would mean that the cigar is 7/8 (56/64) of an inch wide.
Both of these measurements will be denoted on the cigar’s packaging, usually in this format: Length X Ring Gauge.
So if you see a cigar with the denotation of 6X64, you know that the cigar is six inches long and 1 (64/64) inch wide.
Country of Origin
You’ve probably heard about the mystique of “a great Cuban cigar.” While Cuba is home to a long tradition of fine cigars, the nation does not have a corner on the market. Many other fantastic cigars are produced in places like Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. And unlike Cuba, these countries have trade agreements with the U.S. – which means they can legally be purchased in America.
Brand
You may hear other people bandy about specific cigar brands, such as Cohiba or Montecristo. While those are names of top-quality products, there are many lesser-known brands which are just as flavorful and enjoyable. Some of these brands include Davidoff, Macanudo, Ashton, Dunhill, or Arturo Fuente.
One major advantage to these lower-profile brands is that they are all legal for purchase in the United States, while Cohiba and Montecristo cigars are not. So if you happen to see a Cohiba or Montecristo cigar in an American cigar shop, be warned: they are probably fakes or knockoffs.
Manufacture
This one is easy: choose hand-rolled over machine-rolled. Every time. You’ll be able to tell the difference.
The biggest thing to keep in mind when making your cigar selection is this: you decide what you like. Don’t automatically choose what some cigar magazine or website tells you is the best cigar. Do some experimenting with different brands, colors, and flavors. Develop your tastes and preferences. Then smoke the cigars that taste the best to you.
The biggest part of smoking cigars like a connoisseur? Knowing what you like and being able to pick out a cigar that lets you enjoy it to its fullest!

The indigenous inhabitants of the islands of Mexico and the Americas smoked cigars as early as 1100 A.D. This is evidenced by the discovery of a ceramic vessel at a Mayan archaeological site located at Uaxactun, Guatemala. A painted figure of a man smoking a rudimentary form of adorns the vessel.
It was the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus who officially inaugurated Europe to the pleasure of smoking tobacco. Because of this, he is credited with being the catalyst for the advent of the modern handmade cigar. He visited the indigenous population and noticed that they used tobacco for medicine, tribal rituals and for spiritual practices.
Rodrigo de Jerez and Luis de Torres, two crewmen who sailed with Columbus, are said to have been introduced to tobacco for the first time on the island San Salvador in the Bahamas. There, during the famous voyage of 1492, natives offered them fragrant dry leaves with an aroma that lingered after it was lit. Further exploration revealed that tobacco was widespread among the other island tribes, such as Cuba, which is the location where Columbus and his men established their first official settlement.
Columbus exported tobacco back to Europe and it was immediately all the rage. In fact, tobacco was such hit that, to much of the European population, the idea of farming tobacco served as a rationale for the colonization of North America, South America and the Caribbean.
Ship manifest records of 1592 recorded that the Spanish galleon, San Clemente, brought 50 kilograms, or 110 pounds, of tobacco seed over the Acapulco-Manila trade route to the Philippines. There the seed was allocated to Roman Catholic missions, where the clerics discovered that the climate and soil were ideal for growing high-quality tobacco.
In the centuries that followed, the use of tobacco became widespread. Its use for recreational purposes and as a stimulant became popular among people who worked long hours. By the 1700’s, Cuba became the premiere location for the best tobacco and for the development of what we know today as the modern cigar. The origins of the English word “cigar” come from the Spanish word cigarro, which in turn was a derivative from the Mayan word for tobacco, siyar.
From the 1700’s to today, Cuban cigars and Cuban tobacco became recognized as the world’s finest. However, the Communist take-over of Cuba by Fidel Castro in the early 1960’s, and the subsequent U.S. embargo, challenged that country’s title. Former Cuban cigar-makers took their skills and seeds to the Caribbean, Dominican Republic, Honduras and Mexico, producing high-end cigars categorized as premium and super-premium.
Today, the exquisite pleasure of the premium cigar remains one luxury that connoisseurs enjoy worldwide. Handmade cigars that are part of this remarkable heritage may be obtained online through premium companies.
Enjoy laughter. Enjoy life. Enjoy a fine cigar.

The image of a gentleman smoking a fine evokes many a scenario. There are many occasions for a fine cigar: the reward at the end of a long struggle, the victory at a poker table, the celebrations after the birth of a child, the end of tough business negotiations, a fine outing with a son or grandson, the heat of battle, the song of a woman humming in the den after a night at the opera. Mostly, the occasion for a fine cigar is one that evokes the view of men as gentlemen, a view that is presently experiencing resurgence, and for good reason.
Gone are the not-so-glory days of the boy-man whose pants are at the ready to fall down around his ankles, and who has experienced neither a proper shave nor a good haircut. Oh no–a quality cigar brings to mind not only a man, but a gentleman who understands what it is to go to a real barber, and that going to a real barber is something that takes time. He understands what a handkerchief is for, and that it isn’t just for keeping his own nose clean. Fine cigars are part of a gentleman’s lifestyle. He is a man who owns (and on occasion wears) cufflinks, who wears aftershave and knows what Bay Run is for. He knows that women really do love to see a man wearing a handsome pair of suspenders.
Yes, there is indeed a mystique around the kind of man who smokes fine cigars, an image of a gentleman who knows quality in all things and why quality is important, from institutional connections to connections that have been obtained from years of attending the school of life. This is the kind of man who brings a Mona Lisa smile to the women in his life, whether she is his dear friend, sweetheart, fiancé, wife, mother, mother-in-law, daughter or granddaughter. Whoever she is, she knows what kind of cigars he smokes, and the idea of giving a box of fine cigars to this gentleman for the holidays brings her the pleasure of giving. That’s because buying such a man his favorite cigars not only means that she loves him, but it means that she understands him.
It’s important to find the right kind of cigar for the right gentlemen. A quality cigar may be obtained online or at brick and mortar stores. Remember, too, that quality cigars are something that must be cared for and kept as fresh as possible in humidors to ensure the perfect moisture level for the perfect cigar-smoking experience.

are categorized by size and shape. Together, these are known as the vitola of a cigar.
Cigar size is measured two ways: ring gauge (its diameter) and its length. For example, most non-Cuban robustos have a ring gauge of approximately 50 and a length of approximately 5 inches. Robustos of Cuban origin always have a ring gauge of 50 and a length of 4 ? inches
The most common shape is the parejo. It has a cylindrical body, straight sides, one open end, and a round tobacco-leaf “cap” on the other end that must be sliced off in to be smoked.
Parejos are designated by the following terms:
Coronas
Rothschilds (4 ½” x 50), after the Rothschild family
Robusto (4 ?” x 50)
Hermosos No. 4 (5″ x 48)
Mareva/Petit Corona (5 ?” x 42)
Corona (5 ½” x 42)
Corona Gorda (5 ?” x 46)
Toro (6″ x 50)
Corona Grande (6 ?” x 42)
Cervantes/Lonsdale (6 ½” x 42), named for Hugh Cecil Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale
Dalia (6 ¾” x 43)
Julieta, also known as Churchill (7″ x 47), named for Sir Winston Churchill Prominente/Double Corona (7 ?” x 49)
Presidente (8″ x 50)
Gran Corona (“A”) (9 ¼” x 47)
Panatelas – longer and generally thinner than Coronas
Small Panatela (5″ x 33)
Carlota (5 ?” x 35)
Short Panatela (5″ x 38)
Slim Panatela (6″ x 34.9)
Panatela (6″ x 38)
Deliciados/Laguito No. 1 (7 ¼” x 38)
These dimensions, of course, are estimated at best.
Irregularly shaped cigars are known as figurados and are more difficult to make, leading many to consider them higher quality cigars. During the 19th century, figurados were the most popular shapes; however, they have since fallen out of fashion and all but disappeared.
Figurados include the following:
Torpedo – Like a parejo except that the cap is pointed.
Pyramid – Broad foot and evenly narrows to a pointed cap.
Perfecto – A caricature of a cigar, narrow at both ends and bulged in the middle.
Presidente/Diadema – Shaped like a parejo but considered a figurado because of its enormous size and occasional closed foot akin to a perfecto.
Culebras – An exotic of three long, pointed cigars braided together.
Tuscanian – Typical Italian cigar. This shape, known as a cheroot, is the largest selling cigar shape in the United States.
Little cigars differ greatly from regular cigars. They weigh less than cigars and cigarillos, and resemble cigarettes in size, shape, packaging and filters.
Whatever shape or size you prefer, a variety of cigars can be found online at fine purveyors’ websites.

What are some of your favorite cigar moments? Here are a few reasons to enjoy the experience, taste and aroma of premium and super-premium cigars:
1. After a wedding when the groomsmen are enjoying a moment amongst themselves, and celebrating the groom’s good fortune.
2. After the birth of a child, whether it’s your child, a niece, nephew, Godchild or the child of a colleague.
3. After the commencement ceremony for your favorite protégé or ward.
4. After purchasing your first home and evaluating the work and hope ahead of you.
5. After selling your first home for a handsome profit and remembering the rewards of work and the pleasure of work rewarded.
6. After burning the mortgage, and knowing that there will never be another payment. The place is yours, lock, stock and barrel.
7. After leaving the factory job for the last time.
8. After the best dinner you’ve ever had.
9. After the best and most complete play, concert or opera you’ve ever attended.
10. With the rest of the campers at the end of a hike in the woods or in the desert.
11. Beside the garden wall when there is a break from the labor of working with your hands in the good earth.
12. While standing and surveying the view of a field of harvest, full of the promise of work and the promise of prosperity, while remembering the planting of that field.
13. While working on a vintage automobile like a convertible Cadillac from the 1970’s.
14. After negotiating for–and getting–a vintage automobile.
As you can see, there is a wonderful tradition of celebration and the constancy connected to the smoking of a great cigar. The sentiment and sensation of cigars and pipes are part of understanding the cigar consumer. Therefore, the best way to give a cigar is by purchasing them either through reputable online stores, many of which will sell and ship them gift-wrapped, or by purchasing them through tobacconists and fine cigar and pipe stores.
Remember that quality cigars are hand-rolled and custom made. There are countless ways to find out what kind of cigars would be best suited as a gift. For example, select according to smoke time. A good cigar will have a smoke time of 20 to 60 minutes, depending on its size and style. Other factors are color and aroma.
Whatever the celebration and whatever the occasion, giving and receiving fine premium or super-premium cigars–or just enjoying them on your own–will top off the pleasure of each experience and enhance life’s special moments. The best part of the cigar experience is to discover what moments you can plan for cigar enjoyment. So start with giving and receiving premium cigars, and then let them accompany all your great life celebrations.

If you’re looking for an astray online you should have no problem finding the right ashtray for you in a very short period of time. I needed a new cigar ashtray not long ago for my home office. I wanted something that had an expensive look and feel to it, but I didn’t want it to actually be expensive. Anyhow, I thought a nice marble cigar ashtray would be a nice addition to my home office. Especially if I could find this marble cigar ashtray in a dark color, preferably black. I thought I would check online first to see what kind of prices I could expect to pay for a nice marble cigar ash tray.
I jumped on my favorite search engine, Yahoo.com, and typed in my search term “black marble cigar ashtray” and waited for the results. I received over 300,000 results for the keyword phrase black marble cigar ashtray. Needless to say it took some digging to find exactly what I wanted, but when I saw it I knew instantly that this was the right cigar ashtray for my home office.
I landed on the website ashtraysearch.com and started browsing their cigar ashtrays when I found this amazing black marble square ashtray that almost jumped off the page at me. Made of solid black marble, this cigar ashtray is an impressive 1¼ thick. At the current time the marble cigar ashtray is going for $39.99 so it seemed like a really good deal. I jumped on it and ordered one for the office off the ashtraysearch.com website which sells Amazon.com products. Actually, I ordered two of them since my brothers birthday is right around the corner and he also smokes cigars. For less than a hundred bucks I had two brand new black marble square ashtrays including the shipping costs!
A few days later I received a package in the mail from Amazon.com. I knew exactly what it was as I hadn’t ordered anything online other than the ashtrays lately. I promptly ripped the box open to check out my new cigar ashtrays. I then took the marble ashtrays out of the box to inspect for any damages as sometimes packages do get damaged in transit. Luckily both of my marble cigar ashtrays were in perfect condition with no problems. I immediately took the ashtray to its final resting place on the corner of my desk.
In the end, finding a marble cigar ashtray for my office was a snap. The world wide web really makes life easy for us lazy people that like to shop online. Thanks to ashtraysearch.com I was easily able to find an ashtray that fit my needs and budget.
