Cuban cigars for beginners
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.
The amazing thing about Cuban cigars is you can get them in various shapes and sizes. My personal favorite is the Cohiba Robusto. Its not too long and the thickness is perfect. I had my last Cohiba Robusto with some wine and it was phenomenal. Almost every Cuban cigar smoker has their own favorite. Some like the Rome Y Julieta, some like H.Upmanns (John F Kennedy’s favorite brand). Once you start smoking Cuban cigars, you’ll find one suited just for you, I guarantee it. Plus every once in a while Havana (Where Cuban cigars are made) introduces a new product so you always have a new Cuban cigar to try.
I truly appreciate the variety in Cuban cigar brands. Since they are all controlled by Habanos SE (Cuban government), the quality on all of these cigars is simply phenomenal. The best way to enjoy Cuban cigars is with your friends and family or if you just want to take it easy (Like i usually do), pop open a bottle of wine and smoke one with it. It is the ultimate experience. Just you and the cigar with some nice wine on the side is one of the best things that I’ve discovered for my self.
Yes Cuban cigars are amazing, but since they are only produced in one country, you are going to run into a lot of fake ones. Especially in the USA because they are illegal their. Some sad people like to take advantage of these situation and if you haven’t smoked a real Cuban cigar before, you might never find out if its real or not.
