So Its Your First Time With A Cuban Cigars

By Trevor Wallace On July 9th, 2009

If you ever catch yourself around hardcore Cuban cigar smokers, you will see the passion each one has for their smokes. I never really bought it until I had my first Cuban cigar. Each Cuban cigar is very unique in it’s own way and smells definitely different. Cuban cigars range from light to strong in taste, the popular ones are actually really strong and you have to work your way up to it. Like Cohibas, Montecristos, Partagas etc. The amazing thing about these cigars is sometimes you’ll feel aromas of chocolate and vanilla and such and the funny thing is none of these things are ever added. It’s just natural beauty of the Cuban tobacco.

Yes their are not that many mild Cuban cigars but the ones like Fonseca are good to get started on. Since the best Cuban cigars are strong, the best thing is to climb up the ladder. Cuban cigars are ranked by other factors too such as gauge size, length and overall construction. Also 99% of the Cuban cigars made in the world are hand rolled. The Cuban tradition of hand rolling cigars goes centuries back and has hardly changed at all.

Cuban cigars also come in various styles. Particularly the shapes and sizes such as Robusto, Torpedo etc. Some are short, some are long and the best way to find your size is to try them out. Cuban cigars are one of those things that you can read about it as much as you want, but to truly experience it, you have to try it yourself. Some brands I can suggest to get you going are Fonseca, Montecristo and Bolivar. Good way to get into the Cuban cigar game is to try the ones above. These are some amazing smokes and I highly recommend them before you try the Cohiba, also known as the king of Cuban cigars.

Of course, there are a variety of different brands and you should not limit yourself to just one. Each of them will bring something special to the table that you are able to enjoy whenever you are relaxing. Since they can be difficult to come by, however, you need to make sure that they are used for special occasions. They are perfect for sharing with good friends and for making an enjoyable evening all that much more special.

One thing that you’re going to need to be careful of, however, is imitation Cuban cigars. This is especially the case in the United States where Cuban cigars are illegal to sell or to smoke. In fact, many people that live in the United States never actually get to enjoy a true Cuban cigar unless they are on a cruise ship or in another special situation.
