You may be an experienced cigar smoker, or just starting to find the pleasure of a good cigar. I'm always asked; what is a good cigar? Well, that depends on you, and your particular taste for cigars.
I'm no expert on cigars by any means, the knowledge I have is from my own experience and many hours of reading about cigars.
What I mean is that there is no perfect cigar. There is only the cigar that is right for you, the one you take great pleasure in the draw, and enjoy the aroma that satisfies your taste buds. This my friend is a good cigar.
A Quote from Mark Twain
"Concerning Tobacco" 1893
"As concerns tobacco, there are many superstitions, And the chiefest is
this - that there is a standard governing the matter, whereas there is
nothing of the kind.
Each man's preference is the only standard for him, the only one which he
can accept, the only one which can command him. A congress of all tobacco
lovers in the world could not elect a standard which would be binding upon
you or me, or would even much influence us."

You have probably heard of some big-name cigar brands. These cigars have a
deep family history, the families have been making cigars for generations. In
1959 Castro nationalized the tobacco industry, many of these families fled and
began operations in the Caribbean, while others stayed and produced in Cuba.
This is why some of the brand name cigars are made in both places, the true
mark of a Cuban cigar is on the band. you will see the word "Havana" written
on the band.
While you're out shopping for that cigar that's just right for you it will be
coming for one of these countries.
- Cuba,
- Dominican Republic,
- Jamaica,
- Sumatra,
- Honduras,
- Nicaragua,
- Mexico,
- United States
Did you have any idea that cigars were made in so many countries? I'm sure
that I've missed a few of the popular countries where cigars are manufactured.
The filler and binders need to be wrapped with a leaf called of course the wrapper, the finest wrapper in the world is the Connecticut shade-wrapper leaf.
So what's your pleasure? Go forth and find that cigar just for you. It may be
full-bodied, spicy, medium, mild, earthy tones, coffee, or a hint of
sweetness. Whatever your pleasure it's up to you.
