Macanudo Cigars

If you love cigars--if you're a true cigar aficionado--you probably deal with the Vacation Conundrum at about this time every year.

What's the vacation conundrum? It's the issue of which cigars to bring on your vacation.

 

After all, you don't want to bring anything that could get crushed. (Long, thin cigars are just about ruled out by this principle.) Sure, most hardcore cigar aficionados have their own travel cigar humidors, which reduces the pressure to bring Arturo Fuente cigars that will go well in a suitcase; but you'll want to keep a few out of the cigar humidor, in your carry-on or next-to-you-in-the-car baggage, in case an opportunity presents itself to take a quick smoke. (Who knows--you might fly through one of the handful of United States airports, most small-to-medium-sized and located in the South or Southwest, that still allow smoking in certain locations.) And those loose cigars that don't go in the travel humidor? You don't want anything that would be too easily destroyed.

 

And, of course, what if your in-transit smoke break is fleeting--as are most things in travel? For example, what if you fly through a smoke-tolerant airport with its own small lounge near the tarmac, but you only have twenty minutes before you have to catch your connecting flight?

 

And, even assuming that you've got a travel humidor to bring along--being the cigar aficionado you are--still, isn't travelling itself fairly hectic? Won't you want a cigar that's perfect for those little interstices in the day: the fifteen minutes between getting back from lunch and leaving for the museum; the mini-siesta between the end of the day and the lingering dinner at a fine restaurant; the fifteen-minute walk to your next bus stop? When you're travelling, is it really time to break out the fat Churchills? A premium cigar sampler full of the fattest cigars possible is really not what you want in your cigar humidor at this point.

 

All these reasons seem to conspire together to suggest the following temporary change to your normal smoking routine, whatever it is: when on vacation, smoke a small cigar. Cigars with a diminutive ring gauge, truncated length, and squatty, short construction make the best, most convenient companions on your travels--especially those Opus X cigars that have big taste in a short container! The problem is, your not-so-premium cigar makers have also figured out that most of us don't have a lot of time for smoking, and they've accommodated by making big tins full of things that have the look and, to the untrained observer, the mystique of cigars but don't have the construction, rich taste, or premium tobacco. Machine-rolled small cigars are often sold in little tins to cigar smokers on the go. But premium cigar aficionados will want to know if there are any hand-rolled premium cigars that they can buy instead. And thankfully, there are!

 

--Coming from one of the best-regarded premium cigar companies in the world, there's the mild-tasting Macanudo Ascot.

 

--For an exotic taste, consider the Natural Jucy Lucy, with its Syrian and Turkish binders.

 

--Though it comes in a tin, like some well-known machine-made small cigars, there's nothing tinny (or machine-made) about the taste of the brilliant H. Upmann Aperitif. A bulk purchase of these fine handmade premium discount cigars might have you wondering if your tastebuds are suffering from wishful thinking. They're not.

 

--Acid Blondies, with their unique combination of tobaccos and their short, strong construction, make a strong possibility. (The slightly bell-shaped Acid Kong Cameroon makes another one.)

 

--The all-Nicaraguan CAO Criollo Pampas sells for under five dollars a stick.

 

--The pointy Don Tomas Cameroon Perfecto combines Mexican, Dominican and Brazillian tobaccos with a Cameroonian wrapper for taste perfection.

Better yet, build your own premium cigar sampler from all of these items--or still others! The kinds of travel-ready cigars you're looking for will have a ring gauge under five.

 


Although cigar smokers are in midst of a national crisis from high taxes on cigars to banning of public smoking, we have an increasingly demand in premium cigars by America's young, urban and hip culture. It's hip, it's hot, and sexy.

Cigar smoking has been making its way through its city night spots, accompanying the perception that one is in power or in control or has obtained some sort of success or achievement while smoking a cigar.

Some of this has been contributed to cigar manufactures, making exciting new trendy cigars to appeal to young cigar smokers.

 

Drew Estates Acid Line is a perfect example of trendy cigars with its artsy decor on their logos,labels and packaging. The owner of Acid, Scott Chester is an art designer. Scott is young, fashionable and sports an artsy style of dreads. His background consist of motor cycle and gear design and clothing design work.

 

The cigar for the accomplished urban professional is the Zino Platinum Cigar which is marketed to urban and entertainment-driven smokers. As per stated on their website,

"Zino Platinum cigar smokers are youthful, ambitious, strong, proud, successful, fashionable and bold.

 

Zino Platinum represents a fusion of time-honored Rocky Patel cigar tradition and the hip urban pop culture of today and tomorrow." Upon entering their website their intro music speaks a sexy, sultry R&B tune. A young cigar smoker may become instantly captivated by the world of Zino Platinum Cigars.

Their cigar collection is fascinating and esquisite accomplishing luxurious labels and unique metal cans which contain their cigars.

 

Amongst Drew Estate's Acid Line and Zino Platinum Cigars, many manufacturers have become nifty at creating innovative cigars like Drew Estate's Kahlua , CAO's Sopranos, Play Boys Cigars by Don Diego, Drew Estate's Java by Rocky Patel and some of Gurkha's collection, who are considered the Rolls Royce of Cigars.

 

Premium Cigars has captivated a younger generation of cigars smokers. Their endless ambition for success and accomplishment has been accompanied by a fine premium cigar. In the most trendiest spots from bars, clubs, resorts, cafes and lounges, our new creation of cigar smokers is amongst the timeless era of our aged cigar industry.

 

Listing Site Updates

Under one of these subheadings, it's a good idea to list recent updates to my site so that visitors, especially return visitors, can check out the new stuff first. For example, I could list the date and a brief description of the update.

I could also list updated news about my site's topic. For example, if my site were about a particular sport, I could discuss the outcome of a recent competition.

Customizing and Personalizing My Site

I might not want a large amount of text on my home page if I want to guide visitors toward my other pages. Instead of text, I can add photos or interesting links. One of the first things I would want to do is choose a template that reflects what my site is all about. Colors and themes are a great way to reinforce the message and purpose of my site.

Behind the Scenes of My Home Page

Even if I don't put much text on my home page, it's a good idea to include hidden tools that will help me promote my site, so people other than my friends and family actually see it. For example, I could add meta tags, which are hidden codes that allow search engines to find my site. I could also install stats and a counter so I know how many people are visiting. If not many are visiting, submitting my site to search engines will guide more traffic to my site.
