Fine cigars are small pleasures that are growing in popularity. And I’m not talking about those 25-cent cigars that could fumigate a barn. We are talking about well-made, handcrafted sticks designed to allow you to enjoy a quiet moment of flavor and peace.

Smoking a cigar is designed to be a pleasurable break from the hectic nature of life. Do not be tempted to cut corners or rush the experience.
