The Blue Smoke Cost Him Big Time

By on July 5, 2010

When you have the need to really change things in your life and you have the courage to pick up the challenge, you will find Blue Moon opportunities on an almost daily basis. However, there are some who are just too smart for their boots and try to create opportunities where there aren’t any.

A North Carolina man purchased a box of rare and very expensive cigars, and promptly insured them against fire. The temptation to light up just one of the rarities, sit back and enjoy its luxury, proved too much for him. He then proceeded to smoke his way through the entire box, within a few weeks. This of course, was without having bothered to pay even the first premium on the insurance policy.

“My rare cigars have been lost through a series of small fires,” was the man’s claim to the insurance company. A claim the company refused to pay up on. They said the man had consumed the cigars in a normally acceptable way. They of course had no proof of this, apart from the man’s own confession.

The judge agreed the claim was frivolous, however the court acknowledged the man was holding a policy from the insurance company, which warranted the cigars as being insurable and covered against fire. The judge pointed out the insurance company had failed to specify what form of fire was unacceptable.

Apart from a costly process of fighting the court, the insurance company was forced to accept the judge’s ruling. The judge awarded the owner of the cigars $15,000, through loss by fire.The insurance company appeared to graciously retire, until the man cashed the cheque. Believing he had thoroughly outsmarted the insurance company, through what seemed to be a once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity, the man proceeded with his plan to spend the money.

Once the cheque was presented at the bank, the insurance company ordered the man to be arrested on a count of twenty-four acts of arson. The man’s testimony from the previous court case was used to condemn him. Convicted of deliberately burning insured property, the man was sentenced to twenty-four months in jail, besides being charged to pay a $24,000 fine.In a world where cigarette smoking has become socially unacceptable, the world’s largest cigar is 45 foot long, according to the Guiness Book of Records. Castelar surpassed his own record of a 35-foot cigar created in 2000.

It is certainly something to choke on. How many months jail would the North Carolina guy get if he could insure and then smoke the biggest cigar?

By on July 5, 2010

To those who smoke cigars, homemade cigars are always preferred to machine made. These homemade cigars which handmade skillfully by the experts ensure pleasurable smoke all the time.

Not only is it a work of art, a cigar is also a result of patient and passion. It is not a simple task to handmade cigars as a lot of time has to be spent before the excellent products are ready and for that, you need patience. The skilled makers have invested so much of their time, struggling through with perseverance in order to make the world best cigars and for that, we need passion.

Now, are you curious to find out just how a handmade cigar is made? Let us explore through the processes and discover the wonders of making the homemade cigars which you will find amazing.    

The finest tobacco leaves have to be cured after the harvest. This curing process is necessary to get rid of the sugar content and remaining water in the leaves as well as to prevent them from being decomposed. Depending on the kind of tobacco leaves, and the intended colour to be achieved at the end, it will take approximately about 4 – 6 weeks at the most to cure the leaves. Next will be the fermentation stage when the cured leaves will be kept with controlled temperature and relative humidity for some time. The flavour, aroma and other properties of a fine tobacco will be reached during this stage.

The classification of the tobacco leaves as filler binder or wrapper will come next after the leaves had aged gracefully. It is still important to observe the tobacco leaves at this stage to make sure that they are still moist to avoid decomposition. Continuous baling of the leaves have to be done repeatedly even at his stage so that the desired maturity of the leaves can be achieved which than made it ready for the experts to start hand making the cigars.

Finally, the tobacco leaves are ready to be rolled. The master blender will divide them according to the colour and shape. Different blending of tobacco leaves is required for each colour and shape. An experienced blend master specialized in identifying and choosing one tobacco leaf to go with another leaf so as to obtain an excellent blend.

After the job is completed by the master blender, the blended tobacco will be bought before the master roller. He or she will then apply his or her expertise in rolling the tobacco filler into different shape. The nest step is to wrap a binder tobacco leaf around the blended filler to keep them in place. A specific molder will be used to press the rolled tobacco, thereby getting the desired shape. The finishing touch comes when the master roller wrap around the rolled tobacco with another tobacco leaf, so that it will look cleaner and smoother. Last but not least, the homemade cigars will need to undergo another aging process before they can be sold to people.

In view that this processes which are not simple and that it would have to take a lot of patient and passion, make the quality cigars the most costly pieces.

Cigars for the Uninitiated

By on July 2, 2010

Cigars have long been associated with the rich and powerful, with relaxation and rich flavor.  Cigar aficionados have created a culture around the art of smoking, assembling various theories and accessories to debate and facilitate smoking.  Much like wine tasting, cigar smoking has been seen as a diversion of the upper echelons of society.

It is believed that cigars were probably first produced in Spain, and then quickly caught on in other European countries.  Although many different countries manufacture cigars, Cuban cigars have long been highly regarded as one of the most flavorful and rich of all cigars.  This is due to regional microclimates that are said to produce the highest quality tobacco, as well as the skill of the country’s cigar makers.  Other countries that produce significant amounts of tobacco and cigars include Brazil, Mexico, Honduras, Ecuador, Cameroon, Dominican Republic, Indonesia, and the United States. Why have cigars long caught the attention of so many?  Many speculate that the cigar’s main attraction is in the way it is manufactured.  High quality cigars are always wrapped by hand.  Unlike cigarettes, cigars undergo a lengthy process of fermentation and aging (much like wine), resulting in subtle flavors and textures.  They are highly individual and the best cigars will provide no smoky aftertaste at all.  

The taste of cigars is much more complex than cigarettes.  The majority of all cigars are created by wrapping three different layers of tobacco leaves together.  High quality cigars usually contain long leaves of nicotine as the filler, although they may also contain a combination of scraps.  This results in subtle variations, different textures, and complex flavors. Cigarettes, on the other hand, are mass-produced and generally only contain one type of tobacco.  Cigars also come in an incredible variety of flavors. The dedicated cigar aficionado can find chocolate, vanilla, apple, and even coffee-flavored cigars!  

Although cigars have long been lauded for their smooth and complex flavors, they can also pose a great health risk. All tobacco contains nicotine.  We’ve all heard about the negative health risks of nicotine, but what does it do exactly?  Nicotine is a stimulant that produces a sense of euphoria. Even the casual smoker cannot escape the fact that nicotine is highly addictive and contains various toxins, carcinogens, and irritants.  Although most connoisseurs of cigars will avoid inhaling the smoke, they are still at risk of developing various types of oral and larynx cancers.

Cigar Basics

By on June 29, 2010

Long associated with the rich and powerful, cigars evoke images of relaxation and rich flavor. A culture around the art of smoking, created and debated by cigar aficionados, assembles various theories and accessories to facilitate or enhance smoking. Cigar smoking, much like wine tasting, has for many years been viewed as a diversion of the elite of society.

The general consensus is that Spain is where cigars were first produced, catching on quickly in the other European countries. Although manufactured in many different countries, Cuban cigars have been considered one of the most flavorful and rich of all cigars for an appreciable period of time. This is due to the regional microclimates Cuba is blessed with, which are said to produce the highest quality tobacco. Combined with the skill of the country’s cigar makers, the result is a world standard in cigars. Other countries that produce sizeable amounts of tobacco and cigars include Brazil, Honduras, Ecuador, Mexico, Cameroon, Indonesia, Dominican Republic, and the United States. Many speculate that the reason cigars have long caught the attention of so many lies in the way it is manufactured. Hand wrapping is the basis of all high quality cigars. Unlike cigarettes, which are mass-produced by enormous machines, cigars undergo a lengthy process of fermentation and aging (much like wine), creating subtle flavors and textures before they are individually wrapped by craftsmen working with their own hands. This makes cigars highly individual, each with a subtle unique character, the best of which provide no smoky aftertaste at all.

The taste of cigars is also much more complex than the flavor of cigarettes. Most cigars are created by wrapping three distinct and different layers of tobacco leaves together, yielding a depth of flavor impossible from a cigarette. Long leaves of tobacco are typically used as the filler in high quality cigars, though a combination of scraps may also be used. This creates complex flavors subtle variations, and different textures. Cigarettes, on the other hand, are mass-produced, filled from gargantuan hoppers containing generally only one type of tobacco. Cigar flavor variation is further diversified by the addition of non-tobacco flavorings. If desired, a cigar aficionado can find chocolate, apple, vanilla, or even coffee-flavored cigars! Most common, however, are cigars flavored with expensive liquors.

Despite the fact that cigars have long been enjoyed for their smooth and complex flavors, smoking them does pose a considerable health risk. All tobacco products contain the addictive substance nicotine. Everyone has heard about the negative health risks of nicotine, but not everyone is familiar with how it causes them.. As even the casual smoker can attest, nicotine is a stimulant that produces a mild sense of euphoria. It is extremely addictive and cigar smoke contains a multitude of toxins, carcinogens, and irritants. There is still a significant risk of developing various types of oral and larynx cancers even though most connoisseurs of cigars will avoid inhaling the smoke.

Dangers Abound From Cigar Smoke

By on June 14, 2010

Although people have the perception that cigar smoking is more often correlated with ‘civilized’ and ‘cultured’ aspects and is less hazardous than cigarette smoking, the fact remains that even a single large cigar contain the effects of tobacco contained in one full pack of cigarettes. The second hand smoke that it emits and the smoke that others in the proximity breathe can fill a space within hours. While the reasons people tell as excuse for smoking cigars are varied, the fact is that cigars, like cigarettes, can pose problems by making people addicted to it. Nicotine, the substance contained in tobacco causes addiction, and most of the cigars have as much amounts of nicotine as that contained in a few cigarettes combined together. When cigar smokers take in cigar smoke, nicotine gets absorbed very rapidly from cigarettes. For those who do not directly inhale the smoke, it still gets absorbed; but only more slowly, through the lining surrounding the inside of the mouth.

It is a fact beyond doubt that smoking is a habit that is injurious to health.  It has also been proved that the smoke emitted from tobacco cigarette is harmful in many ways. This smoke that gets emitted from the cigarette is termed by scientists as environmental tobacco smoke. Very harmful it is that even a passive smoker is at a higher risk of developing cancer compared to the one who actually smokes. Almost all the tobacco products like cigars and cigarettes contain harmful elements that are the leading causes of cancer in humans. Smoke coming from these products contains gases and elements like nicotine, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen cyanide, etc. Some well-known carcinogenic agents of the likes of vinyl chlorine, benzene, arsenic, hydrocarbons, and nitrosamines are also present in the tobacco smoke. Cigars are generally larger in size than cigarettes and hence release more of chemical substances; and this in turn will cause more environmental damage. That is why a non smoker is considered to be exposed to more health damage when he or she is staying in close proximity to a cigar smoker.

Despite the fact that cigars and cigarettes are often considered to be falling into the same category of tobacco products, they are quite different in the ways in which they are manufactured in a tobacco product company. Actually, the unique particular production process of the cigar is the cause of the high concentration levels of carcinogenic agents in it. After fermentation and aging processes of the cigar get over, it is firmly wrapped in a non porous wrapper. This particular non porous wrapper is specially aimed to help it burn up in a slow manner. This wrapper also adds to the intensity of the carcinogenic elements in the cigar. Thus cigar smoking can be said to be much more injurious to health than cigarette smoking. Cigar smokers also have to be warned against smoking in closed spaces. They may use the open spaces and ventilated areas so that the tobacco smoke can get dissipated into the atmosphere very quickly.
