I have enjoyed flavored cigars now for a couple of years and have a few tips on selecting your fave. The only way is to get a sample before you commit to an entire pack. That way you aren’t stuck with a handful of cigars that you cannot smoke. If you get a machine made flavored cigar, you do not have to stick them in a humidor, but they should be kept inside the original package. If you do decided to get a full box and wish to stick them in your humidor, you may want to get a second humidor to keep the flavored cigars separate from your premium cigars. However keep in mind, unlike premium cigars, flavored cigars will not improve by age in a humidor. If you’re a beginning smoker, you may wish to start with the non-flavored cigars, growing more and more used to the natural tobacco flavor. Then if you haven’t found a specific cigar that you like, try CAO Flavored cigars These cigars are machine made with a natural wrapper and have a wide selection of flavors and smells. Sometimes mild that any newbee can enjoy. I have attempted multiple brands, but Miami Suites has become my fave by far.

The Perfect Cigar
Thursday, April 29th, 2010What has happened to the Jamaican Smoke?
Friday, April 2nd, 2010I have smoked Macanudo Cigars for years now, and read that they came from Jamaica. That looked bizarre becauce I haven’t heard much about Jamaican tobacco. Allegedly, Cuban immigrants brought tobacco seeds to Jamaica, as they did each where else they moved to. But due to hurricanes, work issues and war, it’s been a tough road for the Jamaican tobacco plant. Macanudo, which came from Jamaica is now hand-crafted by General Cigar Company, found in Connecticut. They create quality, high end, premium cigars, including Macanudo. They use their own Connecticut shade wrappers, and assorted tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Africa for the filler and binder. These are my favorite cigars for plenty of reasons, I adore the sweet but spicy flavour. They are powerful, though not overpowering. I can smoke once a day and be satisfied. There are only a few known Jamaican cigars around these days, and they seem tough to come by. If the others taste as well as a Macanudo, I may switch, but for now I am sticking to what I love.
