What chemicals are in primetime cigars?

nicotine, tobacoo and other kind of chemicals that can kill you well, nicotine yes, but only the amount contained in the tobacco, which isn't a chemical. most cigars don't have other chemicals, and if you don't inhale you'd have to smoke a great deal to actually die.

What is the best cigar to roll a blunt in?

That's easy WHITE OWL. The quality is amazing. Wrapped in a little foil it's always fresh, NEVER stale. And it has strong taste of the flavor. In my opinion in flavor is grape or white grape.

How are cigars commonly sold?

There are a few ways.

First is by singles. The cigar dealer will open a box of cigars and people will buy individual cigars out of it. If you don't have a humidor, or you don't know what you like yet, this is a good way.


Then come bundled cigars. They shrinkwrap 20 cigars into a brick and put them in the store. These are lower-priced sticks. A lot of them taste good--JR Alternatives are like this.


Next are boxed cigars. A box contains 20 to 25 cigars.


The above cigars are usually individually wrapped in cellophane.


Finally comes the Cabinet Selection. This is a box that contains, usually, 50 cigars. They're combined into a hexagonal arrangement and tied together with a ribbon. For some reason the ribbon is always red. In Kipling's The Betrothed he speaks of "fifty dusky beauties tied with a string." That's a cabinet selection. The idea here is you buy this thing and stick it in your big humidor, box and all, for a couple years to let the sticks inside age to a turn.


All those are hand-rolled cigars. If you buy machine-made cigars, they come either in packs of five or in boxes.

Do black and mild cigars expired?

They kill you as much as any other cigar/tobacco product does.

Are cigars good for you?

NO

Technically, yes, there is healthy cigarettes. There's a new item out there called the electronic cigarette. It's making a slow rise in the United Kingdom. It's supposed to give you the same feel that regular cigarettes do. Actual users of the electronic cigarette say it seems the same. There's no tar involved and I don't believe tobacco either so if it isn't completely healthy, it's still a lot healthier.

Why are Cuban cigars not allowed in America?

It cannot legally be done, and the fines for trying it are exceptionally high.

Now, this is the thing: It has been over 50 years since the embargo was decreed. In that time, Honduras and Nicaragua have become first-rate cigar-producing nations and a ton of counterfeited Cuban cigars are floating around. (I read a statistic once that was shocking: in some Cuban vitolas, such as the infamous Cohiba Esplendido, there are nine counterfeited cigars for every genuine one.) I would recommend savoring some of the fine and very legal cigars from H. Upmann, Punch, El Rey del Mundo or Romeo y Julieta and not worrying about your inability to legally buy Cubans.

Do clove cigarettes have nicotine?

Yes.

Clove cigarettes are made with tobacco, like normal cigarettes, often mixed with minced clove buds. The tobacco blend is then treated with a proprietary compound (which includes clove oil) to give them their distinctive taste. In many brands, after the cigarette is rolled, the paper is treated with a compound that may include saccharine to give the paper it's distinctive sweet flavor. (Just the end of the filter in Djarum Blacks & some others, while in other kretek's, the entire cigarette is treated.)

They have tar, nicotine, and other harmful elements just like any other cigarette. Tests indicate that the levels of tar and nicotine is comparable to that found in a 'normal' full flavor cigarette made in the US.

Who makes backwoods cigars and where is the company?

Which is the most expensive cigar?

If there is still any around, this should be the Cohiba Behike. Two years ago the single went for $500 and they came in boxes of 40! Only 100 boxes were made and pre-sold. Each cigar was rolled by Norma Fernandez: she was rolling for Fidel Castro when he was still smoking. You should also see the Behike humidor; amazing! A French made piece of art!

What is a good humidor?

If you intend to keep a supply of cigars for anything more than a day or two, you need a way to store them that will prevent them from absorbing surrounding odors and keep them from drying out. Temperature regulation is important as well. If you live in a dryer climate... San Antonio for instance, you really have to be on top of it. I had to double my humidification system when traveling from Atlanta to San Antonio. Care evolves into a science... but worth the effort.

What are Cuban cigars made of?

Cuban cigars are not, currently, actually considered "the best".

While Cuban cigars were once considered among the best in the world, the industry was decimated during Castro's revolution.

Large sectors of the economy, including the profitable cigar manufacture sector, were nationalized (i.e., seized and taken over) by the Cuban government under Castro.

This led to two things:

1) The majority of the successful and wealthy cigar manufacturers, farmers and owners left Cuba entirely, taking their decades of experience with them.

2) The new government-run companies and farms became staffed and run by generally inexperienced newcomers.

Today, the vast majority of cigar afficionados consider Cuban cigars to be of relatively inferior quality, bolstered only by "name recognition" and the general, if incorrect, assumption that "Cubans" are the best.

The original, experienced families and farmers that made the Cuban industry famous have long since relocated to places like Honduras and the Dominican Republic, where the vast majority of the "best" cigars now originate.

Almost all major brands such as Punch, Five Vegas, Macanudo, Ashton, Arturo Fuente, Romeo y Julieta and even Cohiba (which originally was Cuban and is still sold there by the government) originate from the above countries, and not from Cuba.

The concept of a "Cuban Cigar" as being the best is an outdated, and in most cigar-fan's opinion, completely eroneous concept.

With that said, some Cuban cigars that are closely associated to the pride of the Cuban cigar industry are still top notch, i.e. R&J Churhills, Cohiba etc.

Where can one find a good deal on cigar humidors?

The best humidor is one which fulfills your needs... You don't have to spend allot of money on one, but it is worth noting it will need to be worthy of the "investment" that will pass through it. It should be lined with Spanish cedar to help in regulating the humidity inside. It should have a capacity that matches your consumption No need to maintain a 250 count humidor if you are storing a handful of cigars between trips to your local brick & mortar store. Check to make sure the lid is air tight or nearly air tight. When closing you should get the impression it is closing on a cushion of air, and feel a suction when opening it. Most humidors will come with a dial hygrometer and some form of a humidification device you add water to. I recommend not using either of them. Get a digital hygrometer/thermometer and glycol jars or beads to regulate and monitor your humidity. Most people will end up with more than one humidor... I have one for larger storage needs with an electronic humidifier (250 count) and one I use for more daily use and travel. Remember if you are into flavored cigars to store them separately, the aromas will migrate from one to another.

What license is needed for a cigar shop?

It depends on the municipality, but if I were to open a cigar shop here I would need a business license, or "privilege" license, and a retail tobacco dealer's license.

Most cigar dealers also sell cigarettes, so you'd need a Cigarette Dealers License too. You'd need other licenses too--if you want to sell beer you need a packaged beer dealers license.

Can cigars get you high?

It depends on your experience. You will feel the nicotine no matter what though depending on how used to it you are it may take a few.

If you want a kind of high that is similar to illegal drugs, I recommend Clove Cigarettes, they have clove in them, it really enhances the flavor (in a good way I think) and they burn slower. Be warned however that you must be sitting down because you will feel Clove Cigarettes. The common brands of those are Djarum, Sampoerna, Gudang Garam, Bentoel, and Wismilak. I recommend Djarum Black, or Djarum Black Menthols I really like the Menthols but if that's not your thing then regular will do. It's easy enough to order them online. Just search for Clove Cigarette Store and you should find a few.

So yeah you will always feel Cigarettes, they do give you a high, and the Clove ones give you a doozy of a high, so it's up to you.

How do you get the cigar smell out of cigar boxes?

You might try leaving the humidor open for a long time... months. Then give the wood a light sanding and close the box for a couple of weeks with a humidification source. See if you detect a odor. If so, you will have to use the box for another purpose. The problem is the cedar inside the humidor is porous and designed to absorb from it's surroundings. With the prices the way they are, You need the best storage device available to you.

- - - - -

You really CAN'T remove the burnt cigar smell. If you like saving half-smoked cigars to finish at another time, get a new humidor for unsmoked cigars, and use this one for the half-smoked ones.
