serious cigars
Are they serious about not allowing Cuban Cigars in the USA?

Been to many Carribbean Island and always thought about bringing back “a few” for friends to enjoy Cigars. Do they really confiscate then at the Airport when coming back ? Security never seems to be much of and issue as then never have checked my carry-on’s when I go through customs. Just ask if I have anything to declare.

i just came thru detroit ex cuba with lots of cigars
as a NON usa citizen travelling alone i was (after much nasty abuse and harranguing) allowed to keep them HOWEVER if you (as a non citizen) are travelling or meeting american citizens the cigars will be stolen by the customs regime
USA citizens will lose them and be fined.
i declared on my customs form where i had been this got immigration/customs all worked up i was actually asked by one customs official why i didn’t lie as to where i had been (i didnt because they have copies of all the flight manifest so they know where you have been anyway) i said because i didn’t have anything to hide and i dont lie. in the end after a stern reprimand the customs gut then asked how nice cuba was and said “one day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,”

good cigars for the money

Is there such a thing as a perfect cigar? This is a question that’s been debated for hundreds of years, but even now, well into the twenty-first century, there’s no definitive answer. Or rather, there are hundreds of “definitive” answers, because virtually every cigar smoker has his or her own idea of what constitutes perfection. Discussions along these lines tend to include prolific use of phrases like “patiently hand made,” “peak of flavor,” “intoxicating aroma,” “deftly hand rolled” and “creamy smoke.” Very descriptive, but how on Earth does one quantify these words and come out with a definition of “perfect?”

All arguments aside, it is possible to at least spike out some of the key variables that most aficionados would agree contribute toward distinguishing a mediocre cigar from an excellent one. With these basics to fall back on, someone new to the world of cigars might not be able to settle the age-old argument of perfection, but at least they would stand a decent chance of buying a good cigar instead of wasting their money.

Construction:
There’s an art to rolling a cigar properly and not everyone knows it. A cigar that’s been overfilled is difficult to smoke, and easily goes out.  If it’s under filled, the cigar burns too quickly and produces hot, harsh smoke. The perfectly rolled cigar burns evenly all the way down and is neither too hard nor too spongy to the feel. The wrapper should be blemish free and above all, it should not be dry or showing signs of unraveling.  In addition, a sloppy appearing cigar is a good indicator of poor craftsmanship.

Consistency:
This is a frequently overlooked factor, but really it is quite important. If a cigar producer cannot achieve consistency in their product, the consumer is left wondering from year to year whether the box they buy will be a good batch, or one of those unfortunate “off” batches. A good producer sources their tobacco from the same quality suppliers every year and keeps a stockpile to cover any poor crops, so there is little variation in the raw material; workers are well-trained and kept on as craftsmen. As a result, a cigar produced by this company is almost always good.

Tobacco:
It should go without saying that a good cigar requires good tobacco. Besides being of high quality, the tobacco needs to be aged properly or the end result will be a fast burning cigar that produces a harsh smoke. Like the question of the perfect cigar, there’s endless argument about what region or country produces the best tobacco. Historically, Cuba is the country most frequently considered to be tops in terms of premium tobacco production.

What are some of your favorite cigar moments? Here are a few reasons to enjoy the experience, taste and aroma of premium and super-premium cigars:

1. After a wedding when the groomsmen are enjoying a moment amongst themselves, and celebrating the groom’s good fortune.
2. After the birth of a child, whether it’s your child, a niece, nephew, Godchild or the child of a colleague.
3. After the commencement ceremony for your favorite protégé or ward.
4. After purchasing your first home and evaluating the work and hope ahead of you.
5. After selling your first home for a handsome profit and remembering the rewards of work and the pleasure of work rewarded.
6. After burning the mortgage, and knowing that there will never be another payment. The place is yours, lock, stock and barrel.
7. After leaving the factory job for the last time.
8. After the best dinner you’ve ever had.
9. After the best and most complete play, concert or opera you’ve ever attended.
10. With the rest of the campers at the end of a hike in the woods or in the desert.
11. Beside the garden wall when there is a break from the labor of working with your hands in the good earth.
12. While standing and surveying the view of a field of harvest, full of the promise of work and the promise of prosperity, while remembering the planting of that field.
13. While working on a vintage automobile like a convertible Cadillac from the 1970’s.
14. After negotiating for–and getting–a vintage automobile.

As you can see, there is a wonderful tradition of celebration and the constancy connected to the smoking of a great cigar. The sentiment and sensation of cigars and pipes are part of understanding the cigar consumer. Therefore, the best way to give a cigar is by purchasing them either through reputable online stores, many of which will sell and ship them gift-wrapped, or by purchasing them through tobacconists and fine cigar and pipe stores.

Remember that quality cigars are hand-rolled and custom made. There are countless ways to find out what kind of cigars would be best suited as a gift. For example, select according to smoke time. A good cigar will have a smoke time of 20 to 60 minutes, depending on its size and style. Other factors are color and aroma.

Whatever the celebration and whatever the occasion, giving and receiving fine premium or super-premium cigars–or just enjoying them on your own–will top off the pleasure of each experience and enhance life’s special moments. The best part of the cigar experience is to discover what moments you can plan for cigar enjoyment. So start with giving and receiving premium cigars, and then let them accompany all your great life celebrations.
