Just some of my favorite cigars in my humidor |
Cigars sales were declining in the United States, but made a huge come back in 1994 with over 8 million cigars sold, it was the 1st increase in sales since 1970. There are many books published today about the art of selecting and smoking cigars.
You might ask what is the best cigar? Well that depends on you, whatever cigar gives you the sensation, contentment and unforgettable pleasure of the smoke, that is the best cigar.
I have few favorites that I'd like to tell you about. My 1st is H. Upmann, Petite Corona and Lonsdale. They are made in both Cuba and the Dominican Republic. I'll be describing the Dominican, the flavor is mild to medium bodied with sweet overtones. Did you know that President John F. Kennedy smoked H. Upmann Petite Coronas?
Next we have Arturo Fuente. As of 2010 the Fuente family was producing more than 30 million cigars per year. The quality of the cigars are superior, the flavor is medium to full-bodied. The one I smoke the most is Curly Head Deluxe, which is affordable.
Another great cigar that I like is the Aston, also made by the Fuente family. The quality is also superior, they have a rich medium flavor. My favorite here is the corona. The Aston was created by William Aston Taylor who was a fine pipe maker.
These are just a few of my favorite cigars, I'm sure that you have your favorites. All you need is your favorite cigar and one hour.
