It can be tough to pick out cigar brands to try. There are so many available that it's almost worth it to just order the first three different types of smokes that you see on the Thompson Cigars website. However, the difference in strength, taste, quality, and price shown by many cigars strongly suggests a more careful approach. Cigar samplers are always a good bet in this regard because the smokes are hand-picked by the experts at Thompson. In essence, they want to share the great smokes that they have discovered with fellow aficionados. The advice and expertise associated with such a purchase is priceless and is also why it pays to join the Thompson cigar of the month club.
Sign up and you get five, hand-rolled premium smokes that are delivered to your door each month. These are serious smokes that get hand-picked by veteran aficionados at Thompson. They have tried and personally tested each of the brands that arrive in the monthly sampler and share stories about these smokes in an information packet that comes with each sampler.

Jimbee from Lake Havasu City, Arizona reviewed the PASO DOBLE ROBUSTO MADURO
This is a good everyday affordable priced cigar with a personality of its own. I'm a Maduro fan and these Paso Doble have a unique flavor that I enjoyed while out fishing and working in the yard and just relaxing. I will definatly purchase more than I did the first time around when I order next. These would make GREAT STOCKING STUFFERS for your Cigar smoking friends.
Bottomline: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Describe Yourself: Pleasure Cigar Smoker
This is Paso Doble and because it's so good and so affordable, it's likely to become your next everyday cigar. The filler is a pleasing blend of Dominican and Costa Rican, the Central American tobacco that smokes so light and mild. It's perfectly matched.
If you have friends or family who are aficionados, you are fortunate indeed. Unlike cigar smokers with very few friends and no family members who enjoy a good smoke, you can go to parties and events knowing that at least one person will be there to share the cigar experience. When your birthday comes around, there's a good chance that a fellow aficionado is going to give you a prized possession for your humidor or a some tobacco-related treasure. Likewise, on their birthdays, you already know the types of gifts that will be truly appreciated.
Two such gifts that will please aficionados of all levels of experience are:
-
Hammer and Sickle Connecticut Robusto Cigars that come with a crystal ashtray: This nice cigar combo from Thompson will be much appreciated. The smooth Hammer and Sickle cigars are presented in a crystal box and make use of Dominican filler and a 5 year old Connecticut wrapper for a wonderful blend of creamy flavors. The crystal ashtray adds the perfect touch to these medium smokes.
-
Top Leaf 25 Count Humidor Gift Set: Every aficionado appreciates and can use an extra place to store their smokes. This gift combo also includes a two finger leather case, ashtray, and guillotine cutter.
Save on these and other gifts for fellow aficionados when you buy them from Thompson Cigars.
Every aficionado has their personal favorite brand for smoking on a day to day basis. It's the cigar that they enjoy once or twice a day but don't really smoke it on special occasions. Since they smoke this everyday brand a lot, cost becomes one of the more important issues. If an aficionado can afford to partake in a Partagas or award winning Arturo Fuente cigars on a daily basis, then he or she will probably do just that or go for other high-rated smokes. However, the majority of aficionados aren't so lucky and need to go with a brand that puts a smaller dent in the pocket for everyday use.
A great choice for a bold, flavor-filled smoke that combines quality with a low price is the Pinar del Rio Value Line Reserve Toro Maduro. Big, bold smokes with a maduro wrapper to add to their flavor, these sticks will spice up the life of every aficionado who uses them on a day to day basis. When you buy this solid, good smoke from Thompson Cigars, you can also get 25 of them for just $29.95! It's hard to say how long this discount will last though so you might want to order a few months worth of this popular brand today.
Find these bold, everyday smokes and all of your tobacco needs at Thompson Cigars.
The world of cigars is a big, wonderful place but experiencing it doesn't come cheap. You can't expect to pay nothing for excellent, hand-rolled cigars. After all, they are akin to works of art that took years to make so in reality, even the best of smokes should probably cost even more. Nevertheless, the prices for quality smokes doesn't mean that you have to eliminate them from your budget. There is more than one way to enjoy excellent cigars without overstepping your personal budget. Stick to the following recipe for good deals on great smokes and you will be saving money by living the good life:
-
Head to the Thompson Cigars website: You are going to see some good deals and discounts on cigars as soon as you get to that first page.
-
Click on the "Freebie Deals" box: Yes, it actually says that and when you follow the link, freebie deals is exactly what you find! Among the dozens of deals on this page are cigars that are shipped for free, deals that offer FREE 5-packs of quality smokes when buying certain products, various promotions, and free cases and ashtrays.

Aficionados smoke great cigars because they appreciate and enjoy the complexities of fine, fermented tobacco. From picking out that hand-rolled stick to taking the last draw, the cigar smoking experience 
includes a world of changing flavors and relaxing feelings. In addition to personally enjoying great smokes, certain cigars can't help but make a statement. For example, when you light up a Davidoff, you show that you are successful and appreciate high quality items.
Statements can also be made with accessories. Get the impressive Alec Bradley "The Bump" ashtray and your aficionado guests will be impressed by the big, bold nature of this quality ashtray. Designed to hold the biggest of sticks, there are four slots in this large, deep ashtray that provide a secure, comfortable place for hefty cigars.
Another item that makes a statement is a Xicar VX cigar cutter. When you take this sleek, high-quality cutter out of your pocket, you demonstrate efficiency and productivity. You show anyone around that you are in control of the situation, have a keen appreciation for the good things in life, and know how smoke a cigar the right way.
Make statements with these and other cigar accessories available from Thompson Cigars.

When premium tobacco experienced its own “irrational exuberance” and when smokers showed their preference for more robust tastes, JAD switched on a dime and it was the right zig at the right time. This is an awesome cigar for beginners or for those of you not looking to be accosted by your stogie ( personally I like to get my ass kicked a little, but hey, to each his own). Take advantage of this offer while you still can!

Hemingway was one of the most iconic writers of the twentieth century. His stories were
beautifully 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!

If you just joined the cigar smoking club, don't be surprised if it seems rather overwhelming. It actually should be considering the history, creativity, and fine art of cigar making and smoking. The world of the aficionado is no small place. There are hundreds of brands of
cigars to choose from that involve different wrappers, fillers, seeds, flavors, and other factors that can be a source of confusion for people new to the good life. Although personally discovering the world of smokes on your own is the best way to learn about it, it's always good to have a few tips from seasoned aficionados:
- Try a different brand every time you smoke: Even if you have already settled on the smoking just one brand, you probably haven't been exposed to the huge variety of flavors and experiences associated with other types of cigars. Make efforts to try as many cigars as possible to discover the best for each smoking occasion.
- Sign up for a cigar of the month club: This is probably the best way to learn about and try a large variety of high quality smokes without spending big sums of money in the process.
- Get a humidor: Cigars need specific, proper storage or they can go bad in more than one way. Buy one of these as soon as possible to preserve and age your treasured smokes.

There are moments for enjoying every aspect of the good life. Although many aficionados would rather be hitting the links, playing blackjack, going fly fishing, or sipping carefully aged scotch, other priorities come first. One of the keys to enjoying the good life is finding a balance between work and endeavors we would prefer to be doing. Fortunately, smoking
cigars is an aspect of the good life that can fit into just about any schedule. Here are a few suggestions as to when you should enjoy your smokes:
- Whenever you can: This is for the busiest of aficionados. Doctors, soldiers, day-traders, and other people with time-demanding careers might not be able to wait around for regular, ideal smoking times. Enjoy those smokes when you have a good, solid hour to do so and it becomes that much more satisfying.
- At the end of a work day: After a long, challenging day of work, lighting up and sitting back with a Casa Magna or other quality smoke can be the definition of satisfaction.
- After reaching a goal: The high quality experience of cigars makes them perfect for celebrations. Whether celebrating a friend's birthday or completing a deal, cigars provide the perfect, personal reward.

The world of cigars is meant to be explored. Every aficionado has his or her own favorite brand
of smoke but that doesn't mean that it has to be the only cigar you enjoy. The love and appreciation that most cigar makers have for fine smokes means that there are hundreds of high quality
cigars to choose from. In addition, since the quality of tobacco leaves can vary by year and region, even brands you have smoked in the past might pleasantly surprise you in 2012. You might also want to branch out and give flavored smokes a try. If you are used to smoking mild cigars, why not treat yourself to a highly-rated robust cigar?
With so many
cigars just waiting to be tasted, it would be a big shame to not broaden your smoking horizons. One of the easiest ways to do this by joining a
sampler of the month club. Sign up for the Thompson Cigars sampler of the month and you get 5, carefully chosen, high quality smokes each month. They come with information that gives details about each type of cigar to enhance your experience. It's almost like meeting with the experts from Thompson Cigars to discuss and smoke some hand-picked favorites.

Cigars come in a large variety of brands, flavors, and styles. It would great to try them all but with so many hundreds of types of
cigars out there, and the fact that several are very rare, it's pretty much impossible to personally test and taste every cigar in the world. It would even be a serious challenge for the testers at Cigar Aficionado to sample every smoke on Earth. Nevertheless, at least there are enough smokes out there to keep you busy with trying out different brands for decades. One of the easiest ways of sampling a large variety of smokes is with
cigar samplers.
Instead of buying a box of twenty cigars that hail from the same brand, purchase a sampler and you get 20 distinct cigars that are typically made by 20 different companies. Each one will be guaranteed to provide its own special smoking experience and remind you that living the good life is just as much about sampling its spices as it is about striving to consistently experience high quality products. You don't need to sacrifice any aspect of the good life when you buy and smoke cigar samplers either. Most cigar samplers include high quality smokes and when you buy samplers of 90 plus-rated cigars, you know that you are in for several fantastic experiences!

For some aficionados, an essential part of the cigar smoking experience involves rolling the cigar between the fingers and knowing that someone who loves
cigars crafted this smokeable work of art by hand. The person who hand-rolled that cigar did it with care and diligence and that truth is demonstrated by its texture and appearance. The true test doesn't happen until the cigar is smoked and properly enjoyed but even before it is lit, one can appreciate the care that went into constructing it.
With that in mind, is it any wonder that so many aficionados avoid smoking machine-made cigars? Some even look at such smokes with disdain and don't even consider them to be real cigars. As much as they might be looked down upon, machine-made smokes are just as worthy of the cigar name as Ashton Cigars and other highly respected brands. They are made with dried and fermented tobacco leaves so they are by default "cigars". In fact, if you have never tried
machine-made cigars, you might be surprised at how good some of them are. Several are infused with flavors for a sweet, uplifting smoking experience, and all are lower priced than their hand-rolled cousins. They are worth a try and you might find yourself smoking them on a regular basis.
Pick from a huge variety of cigars at Thompson Cigars today.
