Your cigars should be kept in an environment where the humidity and temperature are controlled at all times. For most people that is a chest type humidor. The standard recommended storage rates are 70/70. 70 degrees at 70% humidity. If you ask 10 different cigar smokers you are likely to get 10 different answers on the humidity rate and how it is maintained. For me 70% is to much for almost all brands. My "sweet " spot is is more like 67%. Use a digital hygrometer.( or two...) There are economical 110v humidifier systems that will fit in a 200 count humidor that monitor the levels every 30 seconds and adjust if necessary You only add distilled water about every two weeks. It will take some time to get it adjusted. Do not let them dry out... there is no fix for that.
Do Cuban Cigars contain Marijuana?
No, it is very much illegal. The law regarding it could land even a local in prison for 20 years.

Does Josh Turner smoke cigars?
In one song who's gonna take me home he says "pulled a Marlboro cigarette outta his hat, now I remember why I quit all that" so I'm guessing he did smoke but now doesent.
Though Marlboros were introduced in 1924 (as a woman's cigarette) the most popular brands of the day were (in order of popularity, most popular first): Lucky Strike, Camel, Chesterfield, Old Gold, Raleigh. The French brand Gitane was introduced in 1927. See link below titled "THE TOBACCO TIMELINE".
you are not supposed to inhale a cigar unless you want to vomit. You keep it in your mouth and exhale.
AnswerThe exact same way, inhale then exhale, but first you need to make a hole(...by biting it and spitting the piece out, or using a cigar cutter...) in the rounded end, since it is completely closed off. Except you're supposed to only light them with matches after the initial flare up of the match, since the sulfur in the matches ruins the favor, as does the various lighter fluids. AnswerYou don't inhale.If you are a smoker(10+ cigerettes a day) then inhaling is fine. not recommended if its your first cigar, or your first goodcigar. please note, for the love of god, do not "bite" off the end. experienced cigar smokes can but for a noob the its a big no no. you'll bite off to much and loose the wrap.
AnswerYou treat your cigar like a fine wine tasting. You breathe it in, enjoy it in your mouth, then exhale. I suggest to never to chew or bite off the cap. For the reason stated above. You can always get cheap cigar cutters for less than $10. Much easier that way. The end of the cigar that is lit is called the foot, and where you cut is called the head. The head has on top of it called the cap. There is a seam that connects the body(the cigar) to the cap. You want to cut the cap off right before the seam connects. That way you can get a good draw when you puff, and not have the head of the cigar unwravel. Which isn't the end of the world, if you do. Most cigar experts aka cigar aficinados have done so before when we have first started. I am a match guy myself, since I have ruined the cigar with someone trying to help with a Zippo. There are Zippos for cigars, but that one wasn't one of those. I tasted the gas with my cigar. As you light your cigar, you take puffs like you would with a cigarette, though you have to rotate so the whole foot is lit. A good sign of a noobie, is one who doesn't light the foot entirely. Another one of those classic signs that almost all cigar smokers have done before. Cigar smoking is as I said before, is like wine tasting. When you smoke a cigar, make sure you have time to finish, your cigar. For it is about leisure, not about your next fix. So when lighting it up, you should take your time and not worry about it. You are relaxing and most likely sitting down.To really appreciate your cigar, smoke slowly and not draw too frequently, which will heat it and spoil the taste. You should take about a puff a minute. To smoke a corona should take about one half hour, and the bigger cigars such as a Churchill or a Double Corona can take more than an hour. Other than that, there are many times that are especially good for cigar smoking - after meals being a particularly popular choice. There's nothing quite like relaxing in a comfortable chair with a cigar and a nice stiff drink. A good rule of thumb is to always allow yourself at least an hour to properly appreciate the cigar.

Is it legal to import cigars from Europe?
Normally this reads, "is it legal to import Cuban cigars from a retailer in Europe?" And the answer is of course no, you can't import Cuban cigars from anywhere.
Dry-cured cigars are popular in Europe. These are machine-made cigars that have been dried in an oven so they don't need to be stored in a humidor. You can import all of these you want, so long as they don't contain Cuban tobacco.
For the pleasure of man... You either love 'em or hate 'em but those who love 'em, really love 'em... Here is some quotes from men who really loved 'em :
"Given the choice between a woman and a cigar, I will always choose the cigar." - Groucho Marx
"I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form." - Winston Churchill
"It's easy to quit smoking. I've done it hundreds of times." - Mark Twain
"Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman - or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle." - George Burns
"If your wife doesn't like the aroma of your cigar, change your wife." - Zino Davidoff
""If you can't send money, send tobacco." - (to the Continental Congress, 1776 ) George Washington
"[Tobacco] is the passion of honest men and he who lives without tobacco is not worthy of living." - Moliere (Jean Baptiste Poquelin)
"There's something about smoking a cigar that feels like a celebration. It's like a fine wine. There's a quality, a workmanship, a passion that goes into the smoking of a fine cigar". Demi Moore
"I smoke ten to fifteen cigars a day. At my age I have to hold on to something."
George F. Burns
Where can you buy Cuban cigars?
There is nothing like "best" in Cuban cigars. Recently production quality standards are quite high and it is a matter of taste and style. Keep in mind though that smaller sizes are usually produced by apprentices or not very experienced rollers, while big and special edition sticks are rolled only by the very skillful and experienced of the "torcedores" (and the leaves are much more carefully selected)
How does smoking affect children?
It affects them the same way it affects the person smoking. I am foster caring for a 10mo old baby who was the victim of 5 chain smokers in his house, a month later he still coughs like someone who has smoked for 30 years. Answer: I think smoking is more harmful to children than adults. When my parents were chain-smokers, I often got a sore throat, stuffed up nose, etc. My sister and I had more colds,etc. than my parents. On smog-alert days in Canada, residents, particularly children and elderly, are advised to stay indoors. So if governments are so concerned about protecting nonsmokers from secondhand smoke, why are parents allowed to smoke in their homes and cars with children present?
Where are Romeo y Julieta cigars produced?
Romeo y Julieta is a quality hand-rolled cigar. The quality is high and very consistent. In terms of strength, I would rate RyJs as between Macanudo, which is a very mild cigar, and Punch, which is a strongish medium.

What brand of cigars did Hellboy smoke?
Winston Churchill's cigar tastes were limited to a small number of favored suppliers. In particular Churchill's favorite cigar brands included Romeo y Julieta cigars and (the no longer available) La Aroma de Cuba. Churchill's cigar consumption was between 6 and 10 a day and he maintained a supply of several thousand in a room near his study in Chartwell. Winston usually smoked his cigars down to a couple of inches, these would in later years were collected and given to his gardener - the tobacco to be smoked in his pipe.

What should Room temperature be at to keep a humidor for cigars?
Most experts will tell you to stand by the rule of 70/70. That meaning 70 degrees temp and 70% humidity. This is difficult to do considering changes in temperatures and humidity. If one has a good humidor, and the proper equipment it isn't difficult to maintain. I would suggest buying a digital humidistat,a s they are much more accurate. I also use the "crystals" in a jar to maintain humidity. They are rather fool proof.....when you buy the jar, you simply fill the jar up to a certain level, and the soft crystals absorb the liquid....once the crystals shrink down to a certain level, you know to add more distilled water. One note: Try not to let the inside temperature of your humidor get above 85 degrees or you may hatch beetle larve in the cigars....these beetles will eat holes in your cigars and ruin every stick you have in the box.....good luck and enjoy!

Are cigars safer then cigarettes?
smoking cigars are not necessarily good for you but they are significantly better for you than cigarettes. Cigarette smoke is inhaled through your lungs and the additives are absorbed into your bloodstream which causes damage to your liver, kidneys, heart, and skin. Cigars dont have any additives and are not inhaled. a person who smokes cigars on occasion (say once or twice a week) can still perform athletically on a daily routine without having heart issues ( i dont know how more than twice a week will effect performance because i have not witnessed it). Also the chances becoming addicted to cigars is slim to none. Because there is always the possibility of mouth cancer cigars shouldn't be smoked anymore than once a day. Granted secondhand smoke from cigars is just as bad for people as cigarettes. They should always be smoked outdoors.
since you dont inhale the smoke is it a lot less damaging on your lungs, but on the other hand cigars are usually 5 times the size of a cigerette, they also have a higher chance of giving you mouth cancer because of the amount of smoke that stays in your mouth.
In the early 90s, cigars were promoted as safer, but that is not necessarily true - they create more carbon monoxide - which is a factor in cigar / cigarette related heart attacks. They also tend to be smoke for longer, which can increase certain cancer risks.
Remember that 5 out of every 14 smoking related deaths are second hand smoke related. First hand smokers not only get the negatives from first hand, they also get all the second hand too.
wronggggggg!
Cigar vs. Cigarette Use
One of the main thrusts behind cigars' popularity is the belief that they are a safe alternative to cigarettes because the smoke is not inhaled, and because cigars are commonly used only occasionally and not daily. Traditionally, cigar smokers hold the smoke in their mouth and throat, allowing nicotine and other chemical compounds to be absorbed through the mucous lining of the mouth and throat, rather than inhaling the smoke into their lungs.
A smoker can spend more than an hour puffing on a cigar, which has the equivalent risk of oral cancers as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. Daily cigarette smokers and daily cigar smokers have similar levels of risk for oral cancers. Smokers who smoke more than five cigars per day have lung cancer risks comparable to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.
The real difference between cigar and cigarette smoking is the type of cancers that cigar smokers develop, which is usually a head or neck cancer instead of the lung cancer so common among cigarette smokers. Unfortunately, people who switch from using cigarettes to cigars tend to smoke cigars the way they smoked cigarettes: by inhaling deeply and smoking often. Inhalation seems to raise the health risks of cigars so that the smoker will face the same health risks as with cigarette smoking.
Unlike cigarettes, cigars do not have filters to reduce their tar and nicotine content. Cigar packages do not carry the Surgeon General's health warnings that are required on other tobacco products. Like cigarettes, the additives in cigars are not regulated by any consumer or governmental agency and do not have to be reported or put on the label.
Cigar Smoke and Nicotine Content
Researchers currently believe that as few as five milligrams of nicotine a day is enough to cause addiction to the drug. The average cigarette has around one milligram of nicotine in it, and cigars have much higher levels of nicotine -- up to 400 milligrams in large, long cigars. This means that one cigar a day may be enough to cause addictive changes in your brain cells. Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemical compounds, including the following substances, which are also contained in household products with warning labels telling you to avoid inhaling them:
- formaldehyde
- ammonia
- urethane
- naphthalene
Other cigar smoke contents include the following substances:
- carbon monoxide
- hydrogen cyanide
- arsenic
- nicotine
- benzene
- vinyl chloride
- ethylene oxide
- other volatile aldehydes
- cadmium
- radioactive polonium 210
Because of the long aging and fermentation process for cigar leaves, because of the larger size of cigars and because of the toxic way it burns due to cigars' nonporous wrappers, cigar smoke has 20 times more ammonia than cigarettes and 80 to 90 times the number of highly carcinogenic, tobacco-specific nitrosamines. Cigar smoke also contains 30 times more carbon monoxide than cigarette smoke.
do some research!!!!!
No tobacco use is good for you. Cigars are better for you than cigarettes since the amount of smoke inhaled is less and cigarettes have many additives where hand rolled cigars are only tobacco. Some people are more offended by cigar second hand smoke. Some like it better. There is not much information on the effects of second hand cigar smoke.
* Neither cigars or cigarettes are good for you. While cigar smoke is generally not inhaled, but savored in the mouth and then the smoke is blown out, it still is related to mouth and lip cancer. Some people that do smoke cigars can inhale and thus, like cigarette smoke it can cause lip, mouth, throat and lung cancer.
Cigars increase your chances of developing cancer of the lips, tongue and mouth. If you are already a cigarette smoker, you will inevitably teach yourself to inhale the cigar smoke, so in that respect you will gain little. Net result: they're as bad or worse.
Cigars are less damaging to your health as long as they are not inhaled. Studies indicate health risks very similar for those who inhale. All tobacco products have associated health risks.
