INTRODUCTION

Cigars are smoked slowly, for relaxation and enjoyment, or for their flavour and aroma during contemplative moments. Serious cigar smokers have strong preferences for particular brands and loyalty to the shops that supply them. A premium cigar has qualities that depend upon where the tobacco was grown, how it was fermented, the blend of the leaves and the skill of the makers – each stage in the process is handled by an expert in that particular skill, whether stripping the leaves or rolling the tobacco.

Because of the time and expertise required to create high-quality cigars, they are not cheap – however this does not mean that only the very wealthy smoke cigars. Recent years have seen a renaissance in cigar smoking and appreciation, with specialty shops, clubs and restaurants devoted to the pleasures of smoking cigars. For the newcomer to this fascinating world, the wide variety of cigar types may seem bewildering. We will help you to de-mystify the subject and to enhance the enjoyment and pleasure of anyone who appreciates a cigar

PREMIUM CIGARS

Even at the end of the 20th century, when the mass-production of consumer goods is the norm, the manufacture of handmade cigars is still a very labor-intensive operation. Good cigars have distinctive qualities that depend on where the tobacco was grown, the fermentation process and the skill of the maker. In fact, good quality hand-made cigars can be likened to fine wine. Because of the time required for cigar tobacco leaves to mature and the number of hours involved in their manufacture, they are neither cheap to buy, nor plentiful in supply. Choose them with thought and take care when storing them.
