How Not to Bleed a Lighter

Are All Cigars Good?
No! All cigars are
not good. This is a personal
opinion. This is also the official
opinion of Cigartender.com. We guarantee
that any cigar that we sell is a good cigar.
You may disagree, which is ok, because everyone’s palate is
different. Some retailers seem to come
from the opinion that there is no such thing as a bad cigar, since there is a
cigar for everyone out there. This may
be what they believe, or it may be driven by their desire to find high margin
products and hope that their customer accepts the way a cigar tastes and smokes
“just must be how it’s supposed to smoke”.

Back Off The Flame!

Tobacco burns in the neighborhood of 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Properly stored cigars have higher moisture
content than dry materials so it takes a little more time to ignite. It is also the humidity content that causes
your cigar to smolder elegantly instead of bursting into a brush fire.

The First Name in Cigar Cutters

The business of cutting a cigar ranges from rudimentary to extremely elaborate. You can pierce the end with a golf tee, or clip it with $1,000 gold plated and engraved cutter. Please only bite the end off of a cigar if circumstances are incredibly dire and it is the only option that remains. In that scenario, I would endorse using your teeth instead of advocating foregoing the cigar until a proper cutting implement presents itself.

packaged into the box.

Let Freedom Ring!

Seeing as Illinois had a ban on fireworks sales at the time,
and I can’t imagine that has changed with the fun laws the Land of Lincoln likes to impose upon the populace, generally
speaking the city fireworks display was all you got, aside from sparklers. A neighbor of ours happened to do a fair
amount of traveling for business. I
think the closest state at the time where he could legally purchase fireworks
was Ohio. So, each summer the last trip
he took to clients in Ohio would have him purchasing a substantial assortment
of fireworks. He would use this cache to
put on a display for our neighborhood.
We eagerly anticipated July 3rd as the pre-game to the
fourth.
