what kind of cigars to “chew”?

i desire to chew cigars on account of not being able to smoke but i would rather not ruin a good cigar. do people chew gas station cigars like swishers and backwoods? or is it really only effective to chew premiums.?

Chewing premiums is the only way to go – you don’t want to chew machine made short fillers because you’ll get a mouthful of tiny bits and pieces of tobacco……

Superman Smokes at Gas Station (Warning: Explicit Language)

Cigar smoking is all about shared pleasure. After all, it swept Victorian England and became a national pastime in part because it gave men something to do with their hands while they talked after dinner. And it took off during the so-called “cigar boom” of the 1990s in part because new publications, online forums, cigar clubs, and other social venues allowed cigar smokers to talk about their passion.

So it’s no surprise to find cigar-related events all over the social calendar of smokers around the world. In addition to the lavish, expensive Big Smoke conventions put on by Cigar Aficionado magazine – at least two a year, in Las Vegas and New York City – there’s the Ybor City festival in Tampa, Florida, free and open to the public. And that’s just November. Check out a few other, more-exotic possibilities from all over the globe.

The Dominican Republic is the world’s largest source of premium cigars, surpassing even Cuba (from which many of the country’s cigar-making families and technologies emigrated during the years after Castro). La Aurora, Davidoff, Arturo Fuente, and La Gloria Cubana, among many others, all operate there, and as of 2007, it has its own yearly cigar festival as well! Taking place in Santiago, the two-day Procigar Festival (the first of which took place March 5-7, 2008) featured cigar factory tours, visits to tobacco fields, chances to hobnob with some of the world’s greatest cigar makers, and cigar-and-liquor matchups. Companies such as La Aurora, General Cigar Co., and Tabacalera de Garcia, among others, participated, and the inaugural bow was successful enough to motivate a second – to be held February 16-20, 2009.

While you’re there, if you go, you may want to check out some of the other sights offered by this important Latin American cultural capital. The Dominican Republic was the first place permanently settled by Europeans anywhere in either American continent – the oldest cathedrals, universities, and European-made roads can all be found there. Santo Domingo, the country’s capital, butts up against its southern coast, offering breathtaking views (the Procigar Festival takes place far further north, in Santiago, but the country is not super-large in total area). Four mountain ranges decorate the country; the Cordillera Central (“Central Mountain Range”) approaches Santiago, so visitors to the Procigar Festival could also schedule a day trip to see Pico Duarte, the jewel of the Cordillera Central and the highest peak in the West Indies (over 3000 meters). And, of course, Santiago is itself located in the Cibao valley – between the Cordillera Central and Corillera Septentrional (“Northern Mountain Range”), which run parallel to each other – and it’s this rich and fertile area that houses most of the country’s farms, including its tobacco farms.

Or you could follow in author James Joyce’s footsteps and visit Zurich, Switzerland, where the expatriate Irish modernist polymath-writer completed large sections of his surreal novel Finnegans Wake, and where the Whiskyship sails every November. (What is it with November and cigar events?) This whisky-tasting event, which also offers three hundred premium cigars for the sampling, allows those with sharp noses and tastebuds to enjoy single malt whiskies from all over the world, and to enjoy the companies of folks with similar tastes. The 2008 Whiskyship will be the tenth such event. Switzerland, of course, features all sorts of other attractions – among other things, there’s the James Joyce Foundation, but also, you know, mountains and pristine lakes and thousands of years’ worth of European scenery – and would be worth a visit regardless.

Another possibility – albeit somewhat closer to home, at least for North American smokers – is the Nebraska Cigar Festival in Lincoln. Taking place in late November (which pits it against the Ybor City Festival and the two CA Big Smokes in drawing the attention of Midwestern cigar fanatics who don’t feel like going to Zurich), the one-evening event brings in cigars, munchies and a pair of drink tickets for those willing to shell out the admission fees and deal with early-winter Midwestern cold.

Maybe you have heard about electronic cigarette, and you know its function. Just as you know, electronic cigarette is used to help you stop smoking. But do you know how an electronic cigarette works?

Electronic cigarette is an non-burnable cigarette, its functions are similar with the common cigarettes, it can refresh someone, satisfy ones’ addiction, make the smokers feel joyful and relaxed, at the same time it makes the smokers quit smoking. The essential difference between electronic cigarettes and common cigarettes rely on: 1. Electronic cigarettes do not contain Tar ingredient which is harmful to human being, no carcinogenic substances. 2. non-burnable, there are no a variety of harmful chemical substances formed by conflagating. 3. There is no secondhand smoke which will bring harms to others and pollute the environment. 4. Do not worry about fire, the smokers can use the electronic cigarettes in no-smoking and no-fire areas.

There is only a little agrypnotic contained in the electronic cigarettes, and there are not chemical substances which deposite tartar, therefore, smoke electronic cigarettes will not bring tartar and peculiar smell. With the electronic cigarettes’ come out, it indicate that smoking is about to a healthy time.

Maybe your father or your husband are still smoking the common cigarettes, as you can see, sometimes you are smoking the secondhand smoke, we all know the secondhand smoke is more harmful to the human body. Common cigarettes contain a lot of harmful substances which will deposite in the smokers’ lungs, thus for a long time, these harmful substances will deposite more and more, and lead the smokers can’t breathe the fresh air. It will form a vicious cirsle and then the smokers would be taken ill. In that case, the result will be very serious, you will spend large numbers of money in taking good care of them. While electronic cigarettes are the high-tech and new products which are designed specially for those who smoke addictively, at the same time, these new products won’t bring harms to human body.

If there are smoke druggiers in your family, I think it is necessary for you to buy electronic cigarettes for them, perhaps the electronic cigarettes are a little expensive and you are reluctant to spend much money on them one time, but from the long-term interests, you will feel it is worthy buying.
