People smoke cigars for every reason imaginable. However, for most, a cigar or two a day defines their day, bringing closure, relaxation, and joy. Cigars are aged and fermented for a specific taste factors much like good wine that brings the same passion to the lives of smokers. Talking very long to a cigar connoisseur, you will soon realize that they are passionate about their love, and need special equipment to enjoy their hobby. There are many items needed to enjoy a good cigar, mainly a cutter and a good lighter. However, the serious cigar smoker has a collection of special tools, which may even include a type of cigar holder.

When planning to smoke a cigar, the smoker wants to make sure he or she has at least 30 minutes of uninterrupted time in which to savor the taste and experience. This is probably much of the reason that it is so relaxing. Cigars are frequently accompanied by a good wine or brandy, further adding to the experience. A cigar that can only be enjoyed for a few minutes never tastes the same if re-lit.

If a cigar must be smoked in the midst of other activities, a cigar holder can be helpful. A cigar holder is something designed to hold the cigar out of an ashtray while the smoker is busy with something else. This prevents the extinguishing of the cigar, but allows the smoker to continue enjoyment after a moment. Some cigar holders are very fancy and expensive and others look just like a clip with a round holder the right size to hold most cigars. The clip can be attached to a golf bag or another place to spare the cigar.

Many women have joined men in the experience of enjoying a cigar. Husbands and wives smoke together frequently, enjoying the evening air and good conversation. Still being a stigma for women not many will admit they enjoy this pastime. It has long been considered sexy for a woman to smoke a cigar, and many a husband or boyfriend wishes his girl would join him.

A different type of holder for cigars is one that is sold to fit the head of the cigar, and has a mouthpiece that prevents the cigar itself from touching the smokers lips. This kind of cigar holder is more popular with women smokers but occasionally a man uses these as well. These are sold in a variety of prices, some being thousands of dollars, either hand carved from ivory or encrusted with precious gems. Others are simply utilitarian and cost less than . While they prevent tobacco from getting in the smokers mouth, many use them solely for the comfort of the smoke.

Smoking cigars is a bit of an indulgent art, but quite a bit more popular for men and women than most people realize. Many cigar smokers spend a great deal of money on humidors, cutters, lighters, ashtrays, and the cigars themselves. A cigar holder would make a great gift idea for the cigar smoker in your life, for that may be an accessory that they do not already have.

Cigars are a lot like wine. Creating them is both an art and a science. Enjoying each is a complex and deeply profound experience involving all five senses. Learning about both can be the avocation of a lifetime. That’s where reviews come in. Cigar reviews, like wine reviews, can help the cigar aficionado navigate through the many and varied cigar brands and types, in order to develop a discerning palate. When you learn how to recognize the elements that make up a quality cigar experience, it’s much easier to decide what you, as a connoisseur, prefer and enjoy.

Good cigar reviews are not biased, nor do they condescend or patronize the reader. Instead, a good review will pass along basic information about the cigar being reviewed. It should be a who, what, when, where and, most importantly, why about that particular cigar. A good review will always seek to educate the reader and excite them to sample the cigar in question. Finally, a good review will allow the reader to choose for themselves whether a given cigar is for them.

The problem with any review, cigar reviews included, is that it discourages curiosity in the smoker. If a smoker relies solely on the opinions of others in choosing cigars, they will never develop an opinion of their own. Instead of having their own palate when it comes to cigar smoking, they will have simply copied someone else’s palate and preferences and called it their own. That’s not true enjoyment. It’s mimicry.

So while you may certainly read the cigar reviews, don’t rely solely on that information…sometimes you have to go out on a limb and choose for yourself!

Read reviews. You’d be silly not to. There’s a lot of information to be picked up in a review. But don’t forget to go out there a sample, taste and smoke what you like best. In the end, the best review is your own.

Silver Spring, MD (PRWEB) September 30, 2010

The Stogie?d Network, a new network of Websites tailored to cigar lovers and the professionals who serve them, has launched with three initial properties serving the entire cigar community.

?The Stogie?d Network is all about bringing a next-generation of community-based Websites for those who love cigars,? said Bob Woods, publisher and managing editor of The Stogie?d Network. ?We?re building a network that appeals to different segments of the community, with those parts being united under the Stogie?d brand.?

Woods is combining his love of cigars with his 25-plus years of experience as a TV and Web journalist, editor, social-media professional, and Web and community developer to both launch and guide The Stogie?d Network.

The network will also encourage cigar and tobacco-related professionals to join, ?as we know they love cigars as much as their customers,? Woods said.

Stogie?d

At the hub of this network is the Stogie?d Website, which provides information, commentary and community features in a blog format for cigar lovers and industry professionals alike. Coverage includes news and feature stories, editorials, and an ?Impact? section that hosts reader discussions of the news and trends affecting the cigar industry. The site also spotlights the efforts of what it generically calls the ?PC Patrol,? or those who want to restrict a cigar smoker?s enjoyment of their beloved stogie.

Videos and audio podcasts are also planned, and will be produced and marketed under the Stogie?d brand. Stogie?d is also seeking out both new bloggers and those with an already-established presence to round out its coverage for the cigar community.

A fully upgraded Stogie?d with improvements and feature additions is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2010. The upgrade site will have full community-building features, including member blogs, discussion boards, and the ability to form interest groups, among others. Stogie?d will also have a separate area for cigar and tobacco professionals, who will also have the full capability to interact with the Stogie?d community at large.

Stogie?d will continue to provide its own branded news, features, videos and audio podcasts after the upgraded site launches.

Stogie?d is at http://stogied.com, and also is on Twitter: @stogiedweb.

Stogie?d TV

A virtual one-stop ?shop? of cigar-related videos, Stogie?d TV serves those who are seeking information in video form about their beloved stogies. An editorial process ensures selected videos from public video sites are of genuine interest to cigar lovers.

The site spotlights one truly great video each week, and gives it top placement at the site. Overall, subjects like ?retrohaling,? repairing cigars and proper cigar techniques are among the more than 40 cigar-related videos already at Stogie?d TV. The site is updated several times a week with fresh videos, which come from a wide variety of cigar lovers, blogs and retailers, among other sources.

Stogie?d TV will also prominently feature videos from the staff of the main Stogie?d site, as well as from bloggers who contribute videos to the Stogie?d site.

The site is located at http://stogied.tv, and its Twitter feed is at @stogiedtv.

Cigar Gigs

Aimed squarely at the cigar and tobacco professional, Cigar Gigs is a job listing and resource site for those who work in the industry.

The site casts its net a bit wider than what you might expect from one named Cigar Gigs, as it includes non-traditional cigar jobs like business analysts, engineers and information technology specialists. All companies with job postings on the site, though, are tied to the cigar and tobacco industry, and include manufacturers; distributors; wholesalers; manufacturers? representatives; Web-based retailers; and local tobacconists and shops.

Five levels, or packages of job ads are available, ranging from no charge to a ?Presidente? level that ensures the visibility of an ad throughout the entire Stogie?d Network. The site also contains listings from other job- and career-related sites.

Cigar Gigs is located at http://cigargigs.com, and is on Twitter: @cigargigs.

All sites in The Stogie?d Network will continue to be upgraded and enhanced with new features throughout 2010 and 2011, and will also include suggestions from the Stogie?d community. Other sites and services are planned as well.

Anyone who smokes cigars will tell you: this is a hobby, not an addiction. People looking for a quick nicotine fix smoke cigarettes; cigars are for connoisseurs. A cigar is best enjoyed on the golf course or in a comfortable chair after a good meal. True hobbyists utilize specialized tools of the trade including a cutter, a cigar torch lighter, and a special ashtray. Cigars are to be smoked slowly and tasted thoughtfully. Smoking a cigar is not a means to an end, it is an experience in itself.
 
For this reason, most cigar aficionados take great pains to carefully arrange their smoking ritual. Everyone will have their own particular taste, but there are several aspects common to all smokers. Obviously, the first and most important choice will be the cigar itself. There are thousands to choose from, and only experimentation will lead you to the perfect cigar. You can narrow down the options, however, by considering the following:
 
- Body. This refers to the strength of the cigar and can range from mild to full. You will want something rich and tasty, but not overwhelming.
 
- Size. A long thick cigar can take hours to smoke. This will be an important consideration based on the occasion. Length is generally described in inches while the ring, or thickness, is described in 60ths of an inch.
 
- Rating. This is a system developed by cigar aficionado magazine that rates cigar brands on a scale of 0-100. Anything under 70 is generally not considered worthwhile, while a cigar rated at 95-100 is a classic. Obviously tastes will vary among smokers, but this rating is a good indication of cigar construction, appearance, and how it smokes as well as more subjective considerations like aroma and taste blend.
 
Now that you have chosen a cigar, it is time to consider the accoutrements of the ritual. The first article is a cutter. While movie gangsters bite off the end, a sharp cutter will offer a cleaner, more enjoyable smoke. It’s also a nice touch when trying to impress clients. There are several makes and models. Choose one that suits your style and that is made from quality materials.
 
Any old book of matches will get the job done when it comes time to light up, but a cigar torch lighter is a much better choice for sanctifying the ritual. Clean burning and hot, these lighters are impressive little machines in their own right.
 
Finally, a cigar ashtray will be essential for a relaxed smoke. Consider that a cigar lasts a long time: you will want to put it down once in a while. Ashtrays with special slides that fit a cigar will keep your stogie burning properly as well as keeping the ash off of your lapels.
 
Half of the fun of smoking cigars is indulging in the ritual. Cigars are a symbol of the good life, so don’t skimp on the important extras and enjoy it to the fullest. Experiment with different types of cigars, buy an elegant cutter, a cigar torch lighter, and an appropriate ashtray and enjoy. Welcome to the good life.

Cigars versus cigarettes: which is the lesser evil asks chapel Cigars!

There are claims that stress how much cigars are safer to smoke than cigarettes. Well, this is no a fact at all. It just so happened that cigar smokers are only occasional smokers and majority of the smoking population are into cigarettes so the gauge of how cigars is not that obvious. But, it must be known to people that cigars are not safer at all.

The following are the reasons that would tell you that the choice of smoking cigar is not lesser evil than smoking cigarettes.

• Tobacco is much in amount in cigars than cigarettes. This fact makes cigar much dangerous for as we all know, there are harmful elements found in tobacco. According to studies, a single cigar contains more tobacco than a whole pack of cigarettes.
• Experts identified that cigarettes are containing lesser nicotine. Compared with 8 milligrams found in nicotine, cigars have 100 to 200 milligrams. This only shows how much danger cigar could cause over cigarettes.
• A single cigar a day increases the possibility of acquiring cancer. Cancer involving the lungs, as well as the pancreas is common for those who are into cigar smoking.
• Cigarette smoke is not as toxic as cigar smoke. As what is shown by studies, cigars must undergo fermentation, this stage produces some of the most cancerous elements. Another thing is that the cigar wrappers are less porous compared to that of cigarettes. This has something to do with combustion. Proper combustion decreases the amount of harmful elements of a cigar or cigarette.
• For men, cigar smoking is associated with sterility or some problems like erectile dysfunction. The harmful components of a cigar is penetrating much on hormones that may cause this disorder.

These are just some of the harmful effects of cigar smoking and how harmful it could get comparing to cigarettes. The issue here is not what to smoke, cigar or cigarettes? He point is that, smoking is not beneficial at all. Yes, you harm yourself and even harm innocent secondhand-smokers.
