Are you looking for methods to give up smoking cigarettes by natural means?

Cigar Store Trends and Tastes

By admin on July 5, 2010

It happens to the biggest premium cigar aficionados out there: things start to get a little stale.

Not “stale” in the sense of dried-out. That can happen, of course, but it’s not likely to, if your humidor is set at the standard sixty-seven to seventy-four percent relative humidity range, and as long as the air temperature inside the box is between sixty-nine and seventy-four degrees. (It is, isn’t it?) No, this kind of stale has more to do with you than it does with the cigar. You feel like your premium cigar habit is in a bit of a rut, and you think it’s time to try something new.

Luckily, cigars come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and tastes, so if you’ve had enough of sweetish, almost-chocolaty oscuros you can move to the other end of the taste/color scale and try the pale-khaki-colored, dry, delightfully astringent tastes you’ll find there. If you’ve gotten into the habit of smoking long cigars that usually take around the same amount of time, every time, switch it up with some panatelas or cigarillos. If you’re in bad enough rut, it might even be time to make your own premium cigar sampler, going out of your way to pick cigars that don’t fit your usual taste profile.

But as above, so below: the premium cigar industry itself occasionally finds itself in the same sort of predicament. The standard shapes, sizes and tastes are already hitting their popularity plateau, and no one’s sure what the next breakthrough possibility is. At these times, makers of premium cigars often turn to one of the most reliable sources of business and cultural innovation: the past.

In the 1990s, when the premium cigar industry rebounded from a case of terminal stagnancy and even became, for the moment, somewhat trendy (while inspiring something of a late-1990s backlash as well), such a turn to the past for new ideas happened with the chocolaty, oily oscuro cigar mentioned above. These dark cigars occupy one extreme of the taste-color continuum–the informal rule by which light-colored, tan cigars are the driest and bitterest (features for which cigar aficionados prize them, as bitter hops make certain beers a once-in-a-lifetime experience), while, as cigar wrappers darken, the taste contained inside tends to get sweeter. The oscuro is like the bottom key on a piano, the lowest bass note on a guitar. It denotes how sweet and how dark a cigar can get.

But by the time of the so-called early 1990s “cigar boom,” oscuros were unpopular and very hard to find. This probably has more to do with an overall contraction in the market than with the oscuro itself, a kind of cigar that can be delightfully well-made as any other. With fewer people overall smoking cigars, flavors that had always been acquired tastes even among cigar fans were less likely to sell, and premium cigar makers stopped rolling them.
By the mid-1990s, though, you could find oscuros again–just as you can today, with the premium cigar industry continuing to function at a level far exceeding that of its 1991 state.

More recently, another nearly-extinct species of cigar has been recreated and is in the midst of repopulating cigar shops and online stores near you. The Salomon–a big cigar that comes in between perfectos and diademas in terms of its size–is tapered at both ends, and has always been popular in Cuba. Its unusual shape means that premium cigar makers have a difficult time finding rollers with the requisite talent and experience to make Salomons. But that hasn’t stopped La Flor Dominicana and Rocky Patel from adding new Salomon-sized models to their premium cigar lines–or from making quite an impression on taste-panelists and Cigar Aficionado (and other industry) reviewers alike.

Buy Tobacco Illegally in Canada?

By admin on June 29, 2010

In tobacco-related news: Recent reports in several media outlets throw some light on the deepening problem that illegal small cigar factories, known as chinchals, pose for the Cuban government. It turns out that other United States neighbors face similar problems in managing the flow of tobacco.

A flurry of news reports suggests that Canada is having trouble controlling contraband tobacco–generally tobacco either stolen from producers or sold off-the-books in order to avoid the country’s high tobacco taxes. The scale of the problem? No one’s entirely sure, but one of the largest Canadian tobacco companies has suggested that untaxed revenue from contraband tobacco is costing the country billions of dollars. And in a recession, that’s not chump change.

The same study (funded by industry groups) found that up to thirty percent of the tobacco used in Canada is illegal. That number balloons to forty or fifty percent in places like Ontario and Quebec.

One reason this is a serious issue is such tobacco, often sold on the super-cheap in bulk to consumers for a rate that amounts to pennies per cigarette, does not have to clear any health, safety, or quality control boards.

In addition, the larger the trade gets, the bigger the revenue that the government misses out on taxing–which creates big problems for a society with such a generous tradition of social spending. It also means lower sales for convenience stores and other legitimate businesses, not to mention the tobacco companies themselves, who figure their lost revenue at nine hundred million.

Where is this tobacco coming from? The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (who seize large amounts of the stuff every year) say it’s coming from the United States. More specifically, they trace some of the tobacco to the Akwesasne Mohawk reserve near Ontario, which extends across the US-Canada border. Thus the problem with enforcement: the tobacco is coming from a place that crosses national boundaries, and has a certain amount of limited freedom from both. Several levels of a couple different governments need to be enlisted in any effort to significantly reduce the tobacco influx … as well as, most likely, a study of who is producing this tobacco, and what economic, social or legislative changes might reduce their incentive to do so.

In the meantime, say critics, the Canadian government could at least prohibit sales of tobacco products such as rolling papers to those who don’t, you know, have a license to make or sell tobacco products.

In any case, news reports don’t mention a widespread illegal-cigar tobacco problem. And cigars do indeed represent a less attractive option for counterfeiters. Cigar aficionados are looking for better-quality cigar tobacco, and part of the reason for growing illegal cigar tobacco is that you don’t have to do quality control. Also, chopped-up cheap tobacco is easier to transport and hide than the full-leaf kind that tends to make a great cigar. Illegal cigar-making tends only to happen in cases where there’s a strong incentive to do so, as in Cuba … and people don’t exactly stream across the border for these great Canadian cigars.

Still, in a troubled economy, how long before we can expect to see similar problems arise in the other areas? In the meantime, the Canadians’ problem is one more reason to buy cigars from a trustworthy, known source.

On The Way To Being A True Connoisseur

By admin on June 17, 2010

When it comes down to the real term, the word ‘connoisseur’ should not be used lightly. A lot many people confess and say that they are just connoisseurs when they are really stuck somewhere between the positions of a novice and an expert. As with most of the people around, you too may be tired of being staying a novice, or a beginner. You may aspire for something more sophisticated, hoping to become an experienced and seasoned veteran, a title that gives you a sort of gusto and credence that let out the impression that you really are knowledgeable about what you are talking about. This can be particularly true when it comes to cigarette or cigar smoking. You could be fervently waiting for the moment when you can inform other people about your hey days as a ramp model. In addition to that you can also let them know that you are also a hard core cigar connoisseur.

You might have tried a variety of cigars since there is nothing like hands on experience to help people learn. This way, you not only get to learn what you like, but also learn what you do not like. Well, this is obviously based on an individual’s choice and opinion. A brand of cigar that you hate may be the one that is liked by another smoker. Even if you have a personal choice of a favourite cigar, and like to smoke it regularly, you should, once in a while, go out to smoke something different. And, whenever people with real cigar tastes suggest that you venture to try something new, take the call and appease them. You might be in for a surprise. Learning and educating oneself on the history, origin, and culture of cigarettes and cigars can go a long way in accomplishing the task. Several cigar books are available in the market, which discuss what each and every smoker needs to know to arrive at the status of a connoisseur. In addition to that, there are books you can read and company websites you can visit, which portray the history of smoking, and cigars.

You will be able to find a better cigar expert in the person standing behind the cigars counter in some nearby cigar store. Cigars are a part of them; it is a passion for such people. These people usually know more about tobacco cigars; even more than what a cigar knows about its very own ingredients. Cigar shop owners would only be glad to provide answers to your questions; in addition to that they will also make suggestions, or might provide some inside information as well. If you are hell bound on becoming a cigar connoisseur, join a cigar club. Not only will these clubs expose you to a variety of cigars, but also they choose the right kind of cigars for you, giving details about the finest selection of cigars around. Of course, you will be able to learn a lot if you are ready to put in a little effort.
