Dominican Cigars & More

Just as the european wine industry experienced tension and growing pains as US wine producers gained international accolades, the Cuban cigar industry must face market realities that they are no longer the world leader in cigar production and cigar quality.  In fact, the lifting of the Embargo ( whatever that means ) won’t, can not return Cuba to its glory days.  The cigar industry has taken root and gained force in a number of the nations mentioned above, and there is not any indication that they may go out of business if the embargo is lifted.  They are gaining notoriety and accolades for making quality products that the united states cigar backer has grown to accept and love.

Selecting Cigars: The ring gauge of the cigar will give you a general indication of how strong the flavor is. The bigger the ring size, typically means, the smoother, fuller, slower and cooler the cigar will be. Cutting a smoke: The head of a hand rolled cigar must be cut before lighting it. You can do this with punch cutters, cigar scissors, or guillotine cutters. The guillotine is recommended for the most effective cut. Make sure not to snip the complete cap off, because it may damage the wrapper. Premium cigar lovers are known for their enjoyment of food and wine. One of the best times to offer a cigar is after a meal. Other great times to indulge in your favorite cigars can be: during or after business meetings, while walking the dog, while on your way to and from work or practically just any time you’re looking to enjoy the fulfillment and relaxation you get by a fine cigar. Smoking a Fine Cigar: Cigars are meant to be enjoyed and savored for the feel, taste and the aroma. Draw slowly. Don’t puff to hard. If your cigar goes out, it is proper to relight it within one to two hours. Any later than that, it will taste limp.
