      Discover Cigars - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Choosing A Fine Cigar! - Martin Keen

      Introduction to Cigars

      Smoking a cigar is considered to be the pinnacle of smoking and the height of culture. Anyone can smoke a cigarette, but it takes a special someone to smoke a cigar.

      Cigars are made by wrapping a tobacco leaf filling with a tobacco leaf. They are larger than cigarettes and take longer to smoke. The connoisseur considers a cigar to be the finest way for anyone to enjoy tobacco.

      Cigars, as you will learn, come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with the most commonly found being a round headed cigar that has parallel sides. The Perfecto is a cigar with a pointed head and tapering sides, whilst the Panatela is a thin, long, and straight cigar. In India and Asia you will find a Cheroot cigar which is has an open end.

      Cigar smoking has its own terminology for cigar sizes, with cigars ranging from 3½ to 7½ in length. Cigars range from smallest to largest at the Half Corona, Tres Petit Corona, Petit Corona, Corona Grande, Lonsdale, and Double Corona.

      Cigar boxes have initials stamped on them which tell you the color of the tobacco leaf ranging from CCC for light (Claro), CC for medium (Colorado-Claro), C for dark (Colorado), and CM for very dark (Colorado-Maduro). Typically the darker the leaf, the stronger the tobacco is.

      This book will help demystify cigars and help you learn everything you need to know in order to choose and smoke cigars properly. With so many different terms relating to cigar smoking it can be confusing for the newcomer to cigars, so this book will help you understand this jargon.

      Choosing a cigar is just the first step, as you need to learn how to smoke a cigar properly. Storing your cigars is very important to preserve their taste, but cutting, lighting, and smoking them also needs to be done properly in order to truly enjoy your smoke.

      As you read this book you will learn everything you need to know about cigars including how to rescue a cigar that has dried out.

      A cigar is the pinnacle of evolution in smoking and is something to be savored and enjoyed. You will learn everything you need to know in order to truly enjoy smoking a cigar as you read through the following pages.

      History of Cigars

      Cigars have a long and illustrious history, most commonly associated with the aristocracy and gentlemen. For many years the Cuban cigar was considered the best cigar in the world and was highly sought after. Unfortunately after the Bay of Pigs incident, a trade embargo was put in place which denied Americans of the famed Cuban cigar.

      The cigar is not thought to have originated in Cuba, and Mayans as far back as the 10th century were smoking tobacco leaves bound with string. The Mayan word for smoking was sikar, which is believed to be the root of the Spanish word cigarro from which the term cigar came. Columbus famously brought tobacco back from the Americas after this visit in 1492 and it soon became popular amongst the rich and royal across
