Buy Arturo Hemingways While They Last!

Thursday, February 2, 2012 by Pat The Cigar Guy
Hemingway was one of the most iconic writers of the twentieth century. His stories were ARTURO FUENTE HEMINGWAY BEST SELLER MADURO PERFECTObeautifully dramatic and were a reflection of many of his own experiences. The "old man of the sea" was a classic adrenaline junkie who thrived on new, exciting, and dangerous experiences such as soldiering, big game hunting, and deep sea fishing. In light of his gusto for the good life, perhaps it should also come as no surprise that he was an inveterate aficionado. Ernest Hemingway's love for fine smokes may even be part of the reason why he spent his final days in Cuba. Since he resided in a land that treasures fine cigars, it's easy to imagine him partaking in quality, hand-rolled smokes on a daily basis right up to the end.

No matter what has been said about Hemingway, it can't be denied that he was one heck of  a character. Like Churchill, his personality and love for cigars was so robust that he even has a cigar named after him. The Arturo Fuente Hemingway Best Seller Maduro Perfecto captures the complex nature of the writer with complex, mild to medium flavors. This is a literally uncommon smoke that hasn't been available for sale until now. Buy a box or two to add this excellent rare cigar to your collection before supplies run out!

Wow, Great to share with a friend.

HIb from Lincoln, NE reviewed the CAO ITALIA GONDOLA HABANO TORPEDO

One of the cigar world’s highest ranked and most difficult to find cigars, C.A.O. Italia (when it can be found at all) is always limited to the purchase of one or two sticks at a time. Only because we have been begging for them, buying all we could get, hoarding the minuscule number we were allotted for the last twelve months, we have a very modest amount for sale. We’re now making the C.A.O. Italia available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The incredible secret to the C.A.O. Italia is the Habano seed brought to Italy forty years ago and carefully nurtured in the Benevento region of southern Italy. The result of this is the production of a unique earthy-sweetness in the seed. It is this remarkable seed that is transported to Honduras where it is meticulously cultivated. With its New World-Old World origins, this wrapper is perhaps the most unique in any cigar today. Certainly it produces a cigar that the renowned Robb Report includes among the “Best of the Best” for 2005.

Few cigars have burst on the scene with as much fanfare as the C.A.O. Italia, and few have garnered the attention of the cigar cognoscenti, captivating their highly cultured palates. Now it is your turn to experience the cosmopolitan flair of the C.A.O. Italia with its Italian, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian blend of long fillers.

My Humidor Favorite

Friday, December 9, 2011 by Customer Reviews

Mark from Biloxi, Mississippi reviewed the THOMPSON LA MONEDA 2-FER MADURO TORPEDO

This cigar is my all time Thompson favorite. For the price, nothing comes close to this product, anywhere. I travel frequently to many carribean islands, Costa Rica, and Aruba. Cuban cigars are available to me there and I still prefer my LaMoneda

The La Moneda has filler tobacco from the famed '97 crop – it doesn't get any better. Then the Dominican manufacturer, has aged this most select filler an extra six months longer than usual before it is used to make one of the smoothest hand rolled cigars we've come across in a long time. Add a sale price that is truly a sale, and you have an irresistible deal. Unfortunately, the supply is limited, so we urge you to act quickly to get your supply before they're all gone.

A Few Low-priced Cigar Gifts

Wednesday, November 23, 2011 by Pat The Cigar Guy
Cigars and items associated with a quality smoking experience aren't necessarily cheap. This only makes sense when you consider that many cigars are works of art meant to be experienced with careful, relaxed draws and are reserved for special occasions. CUTTER DOUBLE GUILLOTINENevertheless, there are times when we would rather pay less for certain items. One of those times happens to be the holidays. While we might buy a quality humidor or classy cigar lighter for a good aficionado friend or nephew, splurging on expensive gifts for a top sales team or employees isn't exactly a priority. 

We still want to give them something nice, but just don't want to break the bank on doing so. The following are a few gift item ideas for such situations:
  • Value priced cigar cutters: These make for great stocking stuffers and basic gifts without costing an arm and a leg. Just because they cost less doesn't mean that they aren't quality gift items either.
  • Discount cigars: Buy 20 packs of Caudillo Churchills and give four cigars to each person as part of their holiday present.
  • Stub cigar sampler: Buy a bunch of these and give four to each person to compliment the Caudillo Churchills.
Save on cigars and other cigar-related gift items by shopping at the best online cigar store.

Cigars for Everyday Use

Thursday, November 17, 2011 by Pat The Cigar Guy
Cigars should always be an integral part of every celebration. The unique quality and flavors of high rated smokes in particular are the perfect match for events such as winning an THOMPSON OLD TIMER CORONA NATURALaward or championship, breaking sales records, or adding a new addition to the family. However, every aficionado knows that special occasions aren't necessary to enjoy a quality smoke. In fact, most of the time, aficionados draw on their favorite cigars in the privacy of their den or other personalized smoking area.

Since we tend to save the rare, high rated smokes for special events, it's good to have other "everyday" cigars for everyday use. A favored brand of quality, discount cigars are a good choice as are the following two brands:
  • Thompson Old Timer Corona: Aficionados in search of a good, classic everyday smoke can't go wrong with these hand-wrapped, long filler, natural wrapper smokes. A solid cigar with a classic taste for a good price.
  • Thompson Uniques Torpedo: Enjoy the mild taste of these hand-wrapped cigars from the Dominican Republic for a high quality, everyday cigar smoking experience.
Try these quality smokes for everyday use and they could easily become one of your favorites. Find them at the best online cigar store.

Get Great Cigars Without Leaving the House

Saturday, October 8, 2011 by Pat The Cigar Guy
PADRON SERIE 1926 #9 NATURAL TOROIf you could buy the best in cigars without leaving the house, would you do it? You might if the nearest smoke shop was a half hour drive away. Even if the store was just around the corner, what if you want cigars went it's closed? Or what if they don't carry your favorite brands or new and different cigars you would like to try? These are the downsides of brick and mortar smoke shops and in many cases, you would be lucky to only need to drive 30 minutes to reach a quality smoke shop. Even when you get to a store that sells cigars, you then have to contend with looking through their selection.

At the end of the day, buying cigars from a store is typically a time consuming process and you might not end up with what you had hoped for in the first place. To avoid such hassles, it's much easier and more efficient to just buy all of your cigars and smoke needs from the comfort of your house. As long as you can connect to the Internet, this can be easily done by "visiting" online cigar stores. You will find everything you are looking for in a matter of seconds, will have information about each product right at your fingertips, and don't even need to leave the comfort of your house to make an order.
