Cuban cigars

Cuban cigars are very sought after. The demand far outweighs the supply and that leads to fake cigars finding their way onto the market. Cuban cigars have a history that goes back since the beginning of time (At least that is what the cigar gods want you to know). They say that before the earth was created, the island of Cuba was created and the seeds of the mighty “Cohiba” leaves were planted in. Cuban cigars have a certain bouquet and flavor that is uniquely their own. Some people simplify it by espousing that "if it looks good and tastes good - it is real.".

This conventional wisdom is a blatant falsehood as there are plenty of Havana vitolas that lack aesthetically and taste less than ideal, yet are authentic Cuban cigars.

Cuban cigars are a product that equates directly to quality. The very words evoke images of sophistication and glamour. Cuban cigars are only offered for sale in Spain at the government controlled and licensed tobacco stores.

There are no fake Cuban cigars sold from these outlets. Cuban cigars are all top quality; however, prices do vary to a great extent. Generally, Cuban cigars are sold in boxes of 25 cigars, although this can vary with limited addition Cuban cigar boxes.

Cuban cigars are one of life's enhancing pleasures. Fine cigars are made in many parts of the world but, the best, as connoisseurs everywhere know come from the island of Cuba. Cuban cigars and accessories that mark a symbol of status and style are sought after by all cigar lovers. And we at NLCIGARS.com give you the opportunity buy the best Cuban cigars as well as cigar accessories.

What's Cigar ? Fun, or not

Tobacco or cigars imported before the embargo — called Pre-Castro if imported before 1959; Pre-Embargo before 1962 — can still be legally sold in the United States. But they're a rare and pricey find, Bettridge says. Tobacco consumers are no different. Based on “field surveys” that it conducts, CAO International is finding that there is indeed more of a want/need for scarce tobaccos. Tobacco is its own best filter, so a cigar becomes somewhat stronger and more pungent near the end. To some people this is the best part; again the choice is personal.

Again, it is far easier thing to cast as one side then trying to cast something two sided. Look at this drawing and imagine a cigar. Again, there is no rule that says you should or should not smoke a certain sized cigar because of who you are and/or your size. Therefore, get to know the various sizes and discover which one is right for you. Again this one is packed to the gills with tobacco giving it a slow cool burn. The construction is amazing.

Known by cigar aficionados as cigar “marriage,” storing more than one blend of cigar together can change the flavor of both types of cigars. It is well known that cigars absorb aromas from the environment that they are stored in, and other cigars are no exception to this rule. Known as Mayor Barry's Summer Youth Program, it's really a national program funded by Labor with some city money thrown in. The only thing the Mayor gives the program is his name.

Cuban cigar rollers are notorious as being the most skilled rollers in the world. Cuban cigars were great cigars because of the way they were rolled and manufactured. The quality used to be unsurpassed.

Moldy cigars should be thrown away. Be sure you do not confuse mold with plume. Mold usually indicates a humidor is too warm or has excessive levels of humidity.
