Cigar Cutters

Shuriken Cigar Cutter

Perhaps the most innovative new product to emerge from the IPCPR Cigar Convention last year was not a new cigar, but a new type of cigar cutter that produces a different kind of cut. The Shuriken cigar cutter, which looks like a giant capsule, has six razor sharp blades that cut slits around the top of the cigar.

Review of Flor de Gonzalez Cigar

Wednesday January 25, 2012

Flor de Gonzalez 15 Aniversario cigars are made in Miami with an interesting blend of tobaccos, including some filler from Panama. These are limited edition cigars, and are modestly priced considering they are made in the United States. To find out more, read my Review of Flor de Gonzalez 15 Aniversario Robusto Cigars.

Gran Habano's New Factory

Tuesday January 24, 2012

The Gran Habano - G.R. Tabacaleras Co. cigar factory located on "Calle Ocho", 8th street, in the Little Havana district of Miami is completed and ready to roll. The factory will employ 10 Cuban rollers who will produce no more than 1,000 cigars per day to ensure quality and consistency. This will be the base of Gran Habano's new cigar line "Gran Habano Miami" which will lead off with the soon-to-be-released Black Corojo, Opium Miami and the continuance of the company's STK program. The exact opening date to the public will soon be announced. Visit About.com Cigars on Facebook for more information and to view a few photos.

Super Bowl Cigars

Wednesday January 18, 2012

Cigars come in virtually all shapes and sizes, so on Super Bowl Sunday, you need either a cigar shaped like a football or a large super-sized cigar. Football Shaped Cigars are novelties that can be very expensive and/or hard to find, but on February 5, 2012, you can easily be the guy puffing on the biggest stick in the room with a La Unica 100 Premium Cigar. Your La Unica 100 may not last until the Indianapolis 500, but with a cigar that measures 8½ inches in length, you will still be able to blow smoke at Madonna during half-time. Check 'em out!

Cigar Dolls

If you are planning an event and want to make it special, consider hiring a cigar roller. But if you want to kick it up a notch and plan something extra special, hire one or more attractive female torcedors known as Cigar Dolls. According to the PR, "Your guests will never expect them, or forget them." Prices for events average between $1,100 to $1,500. Upscale, VIP events range in the $4,000 to $6,000 range, as they typically bring 2 to 3 Cigar Rollers and have multiple quantities of cigars on hand for larger guest lists.
