Now is the best time to get an Electronic Cigarette and take advantage of some great Fall Savings. If you have a loved one who is a smoker or just a good friend we have the perfect  gift for them remember Christmas is just around the corner and E-Cigarettes are the gift that keeps on giving.  If you are not familiar with them let me explain. An electronic cigarette or “e-cigarette” is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized liquid nicotine solution. It is an alternative to smoked tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. In addition to nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation. When a user inhales through the device, air flow is detected by a sensor, which activates a heating element that vaporizes a nicotine solution stored in the mouth piece. It is this vapor that is inhaled by the user. An LED on the opposite end of the device is also activated during inhalation, which serves as an indicator of use, and also to simulate the glow of actual burning tobacco.

Now let’s go over the benefits. 1. They will not be smoking 4,000 Chemicals 40 of which are known carcinogens nicotine by its self has very little health risks. 2. There is no second hand smoke remember this is just vapor so they will not be affecting people around them which also means they now can smoke or what we call Vape anywhere. No longer will they have to stand 40 feet away from the bar or be restricted to a special room like lepers. And because there is no odder their Breath, Clothes, Home, Car you name it will no longer smell like an ash try. And 3. The cost of smoking a E-Cigarette will be less then half of what they are now paying for regular tobacco cigarettes. In fact they will be paying $2.50 to $2.00 for what would be a traditional pack of cigarettes. A traditional smokers saving in one year can easily give them a Free Vacation to Cancun.  Our e-cigarettes can be ordered to taste just like Marlboro’s or Menthol and nicotine levels that also are comparable to a Regular Cigarette, Light or Altra Light. So if you have a loved one or just a friend who is a smoker this really is the perfect gift. We are running an OCT. SALE which will give you 30% off our quality kits that start as low as $39.95.

Most cities have their best restaurants, but there’s no doubt some of the larger ones offer the finest in cuisine and atmosphere. When it comes to Canada, famous restaurants you won’t want to miss are in Montreal, Quebec, Vancouver and Toronto. Both cities have restaurants that some critics believe compete with the fine dining of big American cities like San Francisco and New York.

The island of Montreal boasts upward of 4,000 restaurants, some of which have received golden reviews from famous international food critics. Perhaps the most elegant and romantic choice is Chez Queuz, located at 158 St. Paul East. A trip to the restaurant really is like taking a journey back in time. It was built in 1862 and has velvet curtains, crimson carpet, and old-fashioned chandeliers. The fireplace is always burning in the main dining room and the service is great. All of the tables are adorned with fresh orchids and the silverware is finely polished. The restaurant’s wine list is anything if not extravagant, carrying as many as 300 titles. And if that’s not enough, the famous restaurant has won the Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator since 1996. Expect to pay upward of $45 per person, but the elegance and delicious dishes from the kitchen will make your experience well worth it.

Another famous restaurant in Montreal is Rib’n Reef, located at 8105 Decarie. Though passersby who see its radiant, glowing sign outside might think it’s a simple steak house, they are surely wrong. The extra large tables make staying awhile not out of the question. And the meat is only of the highest quality USDA-approved cuts. The shrimp, some have said, is almost exotic with is tender texture and brilliant flavor. And the beverage and dessert selection will have you oohing an ahhing. Not only will you enjoy piling on the calories more than any other eatery, but you can enjoy a glass of port along with a fine cigar, all while having a conversation with bar staff who’ve been on hand for as long as three decades.

When it comes to Toronto, you really can’t go wrong with Truffles. The restaurant is pricey, but well worth it if you’d like to experience the best in Canadian fine dining. It’s even been voted Toronto’s most popular restaurant. The food is absolutely exquisite. The spaghettini with truffle foam, some say, is by itself worth a trip to Canada for. Another favorite is the famous potato-crusted halibut. But besides the food, the service really sets Truffles apart from others famous restaurants in Canada. The wait staff has been described as having an amazing sense of humor, as well as being extremely friendly.

When in Toronto, you also will not want to miss Rodney’s Oyster House in the city’s downtown district. Among a long list of shellfish choices, you simply have to try the -’Oyster Slapstick Chowder,’ which has been the delight of locals and world travelers for decades.

Are You Losing Customers Who WANT To Do Business With You?

If you run a business, I’m sure you’d love it if someone knocked at your door, you answered it and, there, in front of you, was someone asking if they could be a client. I think I know what the answer would be too!

Well, someone calling your place of business to inquire about a product or service isn’t any different than someone knocking on your door. The only difference might be…who’s answering that call?

You could have the best marketing and advertising campaign in the world driving people to call you immediately – a campaign with a potentially amazing ROI – but if you lose your generated leads at the point of sale, that money all gets flushed down the drain.

For instance, maybe you’ve got a receptionist prone to going outside for a cigarette and forgetting to turn on the voice mail system.

A prospect calls because of a great direct mail piece you sent out. They’re ready to do business. But, instead of getting a person answering their call, or, at least, a message, all they get, “Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.”

I could type out ten more “Rings,” but you get the idea. You’re not making that sale. Probably ever.

Now let’s go with an alternate scenario. Perhaps, as luck would have it, the generated lead calls after your receptionist’s butt break. The receptionist says, in a tired voice, (it is 3 o’clock and the burrito they had for lunch is making them reaaaaal sleepy), “Hi, so-and-so’s office, can I help you?”

“Yes,” the prospect says, “I’m really interested in so-and-so’s so and so.”

“Oh,” says the Receptionist. “Okay. That costs so-and so.”

“Actually, I had a few questions first. Does it do so-and-so and so-and-so? And how long does it take?”

“I dunno,” mutters the Receptionist.

Awkward pause.

“Could you…find out?”

“Um…I guess…hang on.”

The Receptionist puts the phone down on top of the desk – not on hold – and goes back to ask you the question. But turns out you’re talking with someone else on another line. The Receptionist waits, not indicating it’s important in any way…finally asks the question…gets the answer…goes back and picks up the phone.

And gets a dial tone. The receptionist shrugs and looks forward to another cigarette break. No skin off their teeth.

The prospect who hung up? They haven’t lost anything either. They’ll just go on with their lives.

Meanwhile, here’s what you’ve lost. A sale. More potential future business. Contact information. Marketing info on what campaign got the person to call in the first place. And a big dent in your overall ROI. You spent a lot to get that person to contact you. And all you have to show for it is a turned-off prospect who thinks you run a Mickey Mouse organization.

The last customer you should be losing is the one that’s coming to you, ready to buy from you. That should be a no-brainer, but, unfortunately, all too often that’s exactly where we’ve stopped thinking our operation through – and we lose valuable revenue.

Try to put together a variety of affordable solutions to make sure that your marketing campaigns are paying off and that sales calls are being handled correctly. Those solutions run the gamut to training personnel answering the phones in how to properly deal with a sales call to setting up an automatic system that gathers all the information you need without you having to lift a finger.

When businesses actually look at how their sales calls are being handled, most are shocked to find out just how much money they’re losing at the point where it’s easiest to make it. So make sure your generated leads are being handled correctly and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the improvement of your bottom line.

Put This in Your Pipe and Smoke It – Top 5 Nicaraguan Cigars

Arnold Schwarzenegger. Tom Cruise. Mel Gibson. Harrison Ford. Sylvester Stallone.

 

What in the world do all of these high-octane megastars have in common? No, they’re not all starring in Mission: Testosterone, this summer’s most muscled blockbuster. But, they do share a unique bond. In fact, they share the same connection with such historically notable folks as Fidel Castro, W.C. Fields, and even King Edward VII.

 

How could kings, comedians, and revolutionary leaders have anything in common with the Terminator, Rambo, and Braveheart?

 

It’s simple: They all love a good cigar! No, actually, they all love a great cigar!

 

And, when it comes to great cigars, arguably there are none better today than those coming from rich soils and humid mountain hillsides of Nicaragua. Long having taken a backseat to the Cuban cigar-making dynasty, Nicaragua is making its mark on the international scene with the finest cigars found anywhere on the planet.

 

Just like its booming real estate market that has rebounded after natural disasters and political unrest to become one of the best places in the world to invest, the Nicaraguan cigar industry is benefiting and experiencing a renaissance as well. From the center of it cigar revolution in Esteli to Condega and all the way out to the Jalapa Valley, Nicaragua is home to the world’s best cigar makers, tobacco, and established and up-and-coming brands.

With so many great cigars to choose from, the problem for the cigar aficionado and the newbie alike becomes not “How can I find a good Nicaraguan cigar,†but where should I even start? To help you make your way through the jungle landscape of choice, let’s take a look at five all-time favorites.

 

5. Plasencia Organica Nesticos

 

Profile: small cigar, mild, but rich taste

 

Big things come in little packages! The world’s first 100% Certified Organic cigar, the Plasencia Organica Nesticos are pure handmade tobacco magic. These little cigars take advantage of Plansencia’s renowned three-year-aged, organically-grown Nicaraguan tobaccos and serve it up in a smoke-able size that allows you to enjoy big cigar flavor even when you don’t have a lot of time.

 

4. Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970, Robusto Grande.

Profile: strong, robust, earthy, woody, big, heavy-bodied…you get the idea, this cigar ain’t messing around!

 

This hefty all-Nicaraguan tobacco cigar was crafted to appeal to an American clientele who could no longer puff their favorite Havanas after the Cuban revolution. Let’s just call it like it is: The Robusto Grande is a big daddy of a cigar – both in size and flavor. There’s no getting around the fact that it packs a seriously rich blow with that characteristic Nicaraguan metallic twang. If you like your cigars to knock you out with a power-packed punch, this is your choice.

 

3. Felipe II Fat Boy

 

Profile: medium-bodied, earthy, spicy coffee bean aromas, roasted butter finish

 

Rated 90 by Cigar Aficionado, this ridiculously rich tasting cigar by Felipe Gregorio is definitely round and robust, but has a seamlessly smooth quality that makes it a definite contender. The Fat Boy’s small, but stocky size (3.5 x 55) gives it a definite “Don’t Mess with Me†attitude. When you’re feeling like a fine fatty at a reasonable rate, find yourself a Felipe II and get ready for a taste explosion.

 

2. Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series

 

Profile: medium to full-bodied, long finish, perfectly balanced.

 

If you want to feel like a celebrity, then you’ll want to take a pull on any cigar from the Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series. Made to celebrate their 30th anniversary, this line is crafted from only their best tobaccos and is often quite difficult to find. However, when you do get your hands on one, you’ll experience a masterful cigar from first spark to final ash tap. Despite the price, this is a must-have in your collection.

 

1. Perdomo Edición de Silvio

 

Profile: robust, delicate tones, perfection

 

This exquisite cigar is considered by many to be one of the best in the world bar none. With a secret blend of the finest tobaccos, this is the holy grail of cigars. And, although it is by far the most exclusive (read: expensive) cigar on my list, it’s not to be missed. So, when you start making huge profits with your Nicaraguan real estate investments, you can experience a little decadence with a Perdomo Edicion de Silvio.

 

As you can quickly see, the Nicaraguan cigar revolution is in full swing – a rich variety of flavors that is unmatched anywhere in the world. With its fascinating history, the Nicaraguan cigar story is one that can’t be missed. When you light up any of the above cigars, you’ll know that you’ve found a new favorite in Nicaragua.

My Review Of The Trinidad Maduro Robusto – Dominican Blend

why do states think that raising the cigarette tax is always the answer?

they really don’t make any sense when they say they need the revenue in one breath and with the other say higher prices will deter young smokers…at a point the tax revenue will fail to exist, or be basically moot…
a leading economist said in an article that health costs from smokers passed on to taxpayers is offset by the smoker dying younger on average…he said many people don’t want to figure this into the formula, but they must to get an accurate picture..he said that states actually save money on smokers, even with the added health costs, and that if states were serious about saving money, they should actually cut taxes and reward smokers…
i agree with the economist, alot of the other dribble is written by anti-smokers, period.

It’s the typical short-sighted liberal tax and spend mindset. Nothing new.
