Cigar Shops Have Changed As The World Has Changed

By on June 5, 2010

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.

Golf Ball Divot Tool And Cigar Holder

By on April 3, 2010

I recently was asked about my nifty little divot tool by a buddy of mine floating the boat down in the keys. It wasnt the fact that it fixed the divots with a stylish ease , but the way it could hold my favorite Cuban up off the freshly cut fairways and greens.

Apparently not everyone knows about these little combo tools. Not only do they work like a charm, but you cant ask for a better looking accessorie for impressing the boss or whoever else you spend time on the links with. 

So I decided to throw together a quick little article to let anyone thats interested , know where I got mine from. 

I actually purchased mine from amazon, believe it or not. I cam across the tool while browsing through the golf books and travel guides. Im not quite sure of the exact route I took to get there, but I did a quick look and decided to copy down the page address for anyone that would like to check it out themselves.

Flexibility for Golf: Stretching for Hips, Mid-Back and Lower Back Muscles

By on January 23, 2010

Is golf an athletic sport or not? That question gets debated daily by proponents of both sides. But the truth is – the argument doesn’t matter – because one thing is for sure… Golfers who exercise properly, following a well structured, golf specific exercise program – perform better than their out of shape buddies.

This leads us to the next question: What is a well structured, golf specific exercise program?

Any golf specific conditioning program worth it’s salt should be built on a foundation of full-body, golf flexibility. Without flexibility – nothing else matters. If you have the proper stretching routine in place – then you have laid the foundation to add the other essential golf conditioning components.

Those components are:

ONE – Core Training for Golf – The core is the center of power, balance and injury prevention for the golfer. You lift all the weights you want and pump up on all the machines you desire – but without proper core functionality – you are wasting your time.

TWO – Strength-Durance for Golf – In addition to flexibility, the golfer needs a balanced combination of strength and endurance.

The synergies between these golf fitness components give adequate stimulation to the areas of the body in amounts which are appropriate for the sport.

Additionally, when stretching is the foundation of your golf exercise program – there are other tremendous benefits which go beyond a golfer’s performance on the course.

Some of those benefits are:

ONE – Reduction in aches and pains – both acute and chronic.

TWO – Faster between-round recovery and recuperation.

THREE – Prevention/reduced chances of future golf injuries (neck, back, hips, shoulders, etc…)

FOUR – Better performance in the bedroom – regardless of age.

It’s important to note – when you begin your golf stretching plan – that you place initial focus on golf stretches for your back and hips. From there you can simply add to it, one body zone at a time.

Your ideal flexibility routine will consist of a longer version which can be done daily – or every other day. And it will also include a shorter variation which you can do when you are pressed for time – or just before heading out from the clubhouse.

You will also get more results by stretching before hitting the practice range and before lessons. It is also extremely beneficial to stretch after each round is you have the time to do it.
