Swedish Match North America Announces the Freshest Cigar in the World

Richmond, VA (Vocus) January 18, 2008

Swedish Match North America, a manufacturer of market leading brands of smokeless tobacco, cigars, and pipe tobacco, today announced the introduction of a new Foil Freshâ?¢ pouch packaging method for two of its popular mass market cigar brands, Game by Garcia y Vega and White Owl. The inventive packaging is a direct response to consumer requests for a fresher cigar.

 

Swedish Match North America is noted for creating pioneering packaging—first introducing the foil pouch more than 40 years ago for one of its loose leaf products. Innovations on the technique have resulted in foil packaging specifically designed for the cigar consumer. “This is a first for mass market cigars,” according to Brian Love, Director of Marketing, Cigars. “For the consumer, it means the cigar you are purchasing is as fresh as the day it was made.” Foil Freshâ?¢ pouches are available for single cigars or in a resealable pouches for 2 cigarillos.

 

Consumer research shows more and more cigar smokers are demanding freshness. 65% of consumers polled say freshness is the most important consideration, well ahead of taste and price. * Love says, “The level of freshness is the deal breaker and the moment of truth for a cigar smoker is squeezing the cigar and discovering its freshness.”

 

Proprietary Freshness Research conducted on both foil wrapped and cellophane wrapped cigars compared the moisture level threshold at which a cigar retains its freshness. “There was a significant reduction of moisture in the cellophane wrapped cigars when stored in adverse conditions within 2 weeks,” comments Love. “By week four they were dry. The new foil packaged products clearly passed the threshold well over 44 weeks with almost no moisture loss when compared to cellophane wrapped cigars.”

 

Foil Freshâ?¢ pouches are currently available on Game and White Owl cigarillo 2 packs. Foil Fresh â?¢ single stick packaging will be introduced on Game Palma and White Owl Peach and Grape blunts on March 17th of this year.

Habanos – The World of Cuban Cigars

By on May 15, 2011

“A Havana Cigar is to the art of smoking what a great wine is to the art of drinking” – Alan Senderens

The Cuban Habano is truly unmatched in its quality and experience. And, its tobaccos were recognized as superior to all others and this opinion has not changed in last many hundred years.

It’s a world unto itself beholding certain standards and etiquettes and fascinated many famous men like Fidel Castro, Jack Nicholson and even legends like Sir. Winston Churchill along with many more.

 

The journey into the world of cigars, begin with the plantation & cultivation of the cigar crop, its harvesting, blending, manufacturing with endearing efforts by Cuban cigar specialists. Each cigar is distinct from others in terms of its body architecture, texture, colors, aroma and taste. The manufacturing of Cigars requires lot of care and specialisation. To start with, the wrapper leaves are aged and then the manufacturing of cigars proceed. The entire process can be segregated into 3 steps â?? Step 1 – Preparing the wrappers; Step 2 â?? Preparing the fillers; Step 3 â?? Composing the blend. Finally, three years or more since the oldest leaf was picked, it then becomes a Habano. Over time, the flavour changes depending on the different storage time, sometimes leading to develop a fine flavour.

 

The aroma of cigars comes to play even before lighting by detecting woody, fruity or spicy notes. So storing and preserving the aroma, the texture is very critical in case of cigars. The boxes in which they are stored are valuable and are called Humidors, that stores cigars under specific humidity and temperature as necessary for their durability.  To read more on the â??Manufacturing of Cigars’ and â??How to Store Cigars’, you may visit the Habanos section on Delhi Duty Free website.

Padron Deserves Father Like Stature in Cigar World

By on December 29, 2010

 

Padron cigars are globally noted for its fabulous flavor along with the essence of Cuban heritage. Padron still sticks with handmade cigar making process. It firmly denies the potential stake of technology used into cigar making. Probably, Padron is the only example in the cigar world which doesn’t hesitate in expressing such unusual confidence and faith upon its clients. So, the premier online cigarshop like CigarsDirect.com has included it into its wide ranges of cigar.

 

Now, let’s have the glimpse upon company profile. Padron is a family owned business, led by José O. Padrón and Jorge Padrón. The family takes care of everything right from the tobacco culmination to sorting, processing, manufacturing and distribution. The cigar is made up of extra long-aged Nicaraguan-grown tobaccos from Cuban seed. There is an interesting incident with this cigar. Cigar Aficionado is a highly reputed cigar magazine. It has continuously rated Cigars more than twelve years but never named as the best cigar of the year.

 

Thus, the complete management in own hand helps the company in determining quite lower price and quality product in spite of hard work in its making. Though all companies are raising price of their product but Padron believes in customer satisfaction and customer always remains on the top of its priority list.

 

Today, there are a many duplicate Padron manufacturers in the market. So, there are few points which must be taken care of whenever you are making the purchase:

 

• There are two special series of Padron cigars which have double band. Their names are Padrón Cigars 1926 Series and 1964 Anniversary Series.

 

• Another prominent identity is Padrón logo which is nicely visible on their uppermost ring.

 

• Unique serial number is also a credible identity mark.

 

• One must know that Padron cigars are always sold in wooden boxes. Hence, cigars in cellophane wrapped bundles are fake Padron cigar.

 

At last, let’s not miss to mention Padron’s signature line, the 1926 Anniversario. It comes under a very special category of cigar. Leading online shop viz. CigarsDirect.com may offer special pack of Padron 1926 40th Anniversary on discounted price as well. So get the best deal there.

Leather Handbags ? Margaret Thatcher?s Contribution to the Fashion World

By on August 28, 2010

 

A controversial figure during her reign as Prime Minster, thanks to the Cold War and Miner’s Strike, it is Lady Thatcher’s leather handbags that became a icon of her government. While she once described her handbag as the only safe place in Downing Street, her colleagues came to see them as symbolic of her philosophy.

 

Julian Critchley, one of Baroness Thatcher’s biggest Tory backbench critics remarked:

 

“Margaret Thatcher and her handbag is the same as Winston Churchill and his cigar.”

 

Critchley also coined the verb “to handbag” when he said:

 

“She cannot see an institution without hitting it with her handbag”,

 

While a closer ally, Nicholas Ridley once remarked in her absence at a cabinet committee meeting:

 

“Why don’t we start? The handbag is here.”

 

Lady Thatcher’s quality leather handbags are associated with a timeless style and an individualism which led them to being dubbed as ‘cool’. They even inspired handbag designers such as Marc Jacobs and one of her black leather handbags sold at auction for over $100,000 to a Scottish business man, after receiving 63 bids! In it was a signed note from Baroness Thatcher. The proceeds went to a breast cancer charity called Breast Cancer Care. After the auction Mrs. Thatcher remarked how pleased she was that her leather handbags had not only done her a good service in the Cabinet but also that they had such an influence and had raised so much money for a good cause.

 

Inspired by Baroness Thatcher’s luxury leather handbags, www.SexyHandbags.co.uk sells a wide range of fine quality leather handbags with the timeless style and individualism that this great lady would be proud of, at reasonable prices to suit all tastes and budgets.

Sophie Curtis wanted to share her love of handbags with other like-minded fashion-conscious women and so she started www.SexyHandbags.co.uk in 2007. She endulges her passion by sourcing the best quality and value for money handbags, evening bags, summer bags, purses and jewellery rolls from around the world and making them available to buy online at www.SexyHandbags.co.uk


Sophie?s small but growing business is based in Middlesex and has already brought joy and happiness to discerning women who have bought Handbags from the website and the fairs she attends around the country throughout the year.
