Pokojni djed je pušio tu(tj. svoju, hercegovačku) škiju, od 15. do 82. godine. Umro je prirodnom smrću.

 

Uglavnom, kad god starim ljudima spomeneš duhan uhvate se za glavu, bilo je tu dosta posla i trebalo je izdvojiti 3-4 mjeseca za sadnju, okopavanje, navodnjavanje, branje, sušenje, nizanje itd. većinom po najvećim vrućinama.

When you talk about the cigar enjoyment, in this article, we hope to explain to you why people enjoy smoking cigars and probably remove some of the negative dishonors associated with the hobby.

Relaxation
One of the most common reasons behind enjoying cigars is that people enjoy smoking cigars. Cigars can take between 40 minutes to 2 hours to smoke, depends on the size of a cigar. This can be a time of peaceful reflection away from outside troubles. It can also serve as to read a good book or as an excuse to enjoy doing nothing. Most people’s favorite spot to smoke generally depends on your mood. You might either be on your small back porch with a good book or at your local tobacconist with interesting folks. Many of us feel embarrassed taking moments for ourselves and peaceful reflection. There is always something to do like some projects to complete or deadline approaching.
Cigar is The Art
Many smokers are shocked to realize how much work drives into making one smokeable cigar. This is a simple detail for a complicated process with a lot of variables, but mostly it starts with the tobacco fields. These friends are found in Nicaragua, Honduras, it is the Dominican Republic and, of course, Cuba. The tobacco is initially harvested and cured. A cigar has three basic parts that all come together in the rolling process: binder, filler, and wrapper. The binder is the simple glue that holds the cigar together. This is usually a single leaf. The filler is the “gathered” tobacco which is filled inside the cigar while the wrapper is the most significant component of a cigar, as it imparts the majority of the flavor to the cigar.
Variety of The Flavors

Most of the cigars are tasty and available in different flavors. In the long run, that’s why people enjoy smoking cigars. What would be the common point if you don’t enjoy the taste? And like the variations found in the flavors of cigars, wine can have a multitude of interesting notes and touches as you smoke. If you have never smoked a cigar, our suggestion is to go with someone who is a good player in this field. Cigars can be duplicitous with the nicotine if you are not careful. If you want your first time to pleasant, then you are because there are options.
The Hobby
Some people use cigar not only because they like smoking but also because they love doing it on a daily basis. They enjoy smoking because they have made smoking cigar their hobby. As a “cigar fellow,” it is hard for you to not completely out when talking about cigars. There are millions of things you could talk about: the proper way to season a humidor, the core reasons behind different sizes of a cigar, what type of “herf” is, etc. The world of cigars is just like everything else with an ironic history and continuously changing industry. You can read every blog, magazine or website and still not feel like you are on top of things.

Key Facts About Cigar Smoking
1. One cigar may contain as much tobacco as an entire pack of cigarettes. A single cigarette typically has less than a gram of tobacco, while a single cigar may contain as much as 5 to 17 grams of tobacco.

 

2. Cigars are addictive. Cigar smoke breaks down in saliva, allowing the smoker to easily absorb nicotine through the lining of the mouth in quantities sufficient to cause addiction, even if the smoke is not inhaled. And, the amount of nicotine in a single cigar is many times greater than what is found in a cigarette.

A typical cigarette contains one to two milligrams of nicotine, while the nicotine content of a cigar is 100 to 200 milligrams. Some cigars contain as much as 400 milligrams of nicotine.

 

3. Cigar smoke is more concentrated and toxic than cigarette smoke. Secondhand smoke from cigars varies from that of cigarettes for a couple of reasons. First, the manufacturing process for cigars requires a fermentation period. During this time, high concentrations of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) are produced. TSNAs are some of the most carcinogenic compounds known to man.

Secondly, cigar wrappers are not as porous as cigarette wrappers, making the combustion of a cigar less complete. These two factors result in higher concentrations of some of the toxic chemicals in cigars than in cigarettes.

 

4. Smoking as little as one cigar a day increases the risk of cancer. Cigar smoking has been linked to several different cancers, most notably those of the oral cavity, which include lip, tongue, mouth, throat, and larynx. Cigar smokers who inhale are also at an increased risk for lung cancer, cancers of the pancreas and bladder, as well as heart and lung disease.

 

5. Cigar and pipe smokers are at risk for early tooth loss. In a study published in the January 1999 issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association, it was discovered that cigar and pipe smokers are at an increased risk for early tooth loss, compared to that of their nonsmoking counterparts. Cigar and pipe smokers are also at an increased risk for alveolar bone (the bone that holds the tooth in place) loss.

 

6. Cigar smoking has been linked to erectile dysfunction in men.

Smokers are twice as likely to be impotent as nonsmokers due to the adverse effects smoking has on circulation, hormones and the nervous system. Cigar smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke, in particular, have been shown to be significant risk factors for erectile dysfunction.

15 Cigars Under $8 For the Summer

The Vegueros brand, which was introduced in 1996, is a creation which pays tribute to all the generations of farmers who have cultivated tobacco in Pinar del Río. The farmers have made their own cigars from the best tobacco found in Vuelta Abajo.
 
The Vegueros brand is produced in the “Francisco Donatién” tobacco factory located right in Pinar del Río. It was first built in 1868 and finally converted into a tobacco factory in 1961.

After more than 15 years of existence, Habanos s.a. has completely transformed the brand, whose name is so evocative and closely tied to the tobacco's roots.

With a renovated blend, three vitolas have been selected:

Tapados : (ring gauge 46 x 120 mm),

Entretiempos : (ring gauge 52 x 110 mm) and

Mañanitas : (ring gauge 46 x 100 mm. Figurado);

In addition to its new image and presentation in 16-unit metal tins, the brand is introducing a blend with a medium to full flavour.

All of the brand's vitolas are produced Totalmente a Mano Tripa Larga- Totally hand made, long filler- with a Medium to Full flavour blend.

16 Mild Cigars that Even Occasional Smokers Will Enjoy

From left to right: CAO Gold Torpedo, Espinosa Crema No. 1, Camacho Connecticut Churchill, Balmoral Añejo XO Connecticut Torpedo Mk52, and VegaFina Churchill.

With summer in full swing, the grills are ready to be fired, the cocktails poured and the cigars lit up. But which smoke should you choose? As you look through your humidor, your cigars are arrayed like paint swatches, going from light to dark. While it’s tempting to choose a strong smoke, milder cigars can be just as enjoyable with your morning coffee or tropical summer drink.

Cigars that fall on the milder side don’t always get enough recognition. Like people, cigars come in all shapes, sizes and colors. A mild cigar can be seen as merely a stepping stone into the world of cigars, but they are much more than that. Mild cigars can be as complex and flavorful as a fuller-bodied smoke and here are 16 that we have rated over the past year worth trying. (For more on our tasting process, check out How Cigar Aficionado Tastes Cigars).

CAO Gold Torpedo (Nicaragua, 91 points, $7.89): Dating back to 1996, the CAO Gold line was the brand’s first Nicaraguan cigar. Now made by General Cigars, the 6 1/2 inch by 52 ring gauge torpedo still offers a quality, woody smoke full of orange peel, almond and raisins. See full tasting note.

Espinosa Crema No. 1 (Nicaragua, 91 points, $9.25): The Espinosa Crema line was created four years ago by brand owner Erik Espinosa as an introduction for consumers trying Espinosa cigars for the first time. With its Ecuador Connecticut-seed wrapper, this well-made Churchill lives up to its name with a rather creamy smoke. See full tasting note.

Camacho Connecticut Churchill (Honduras, 90 points, $9.00): The Camacho Connecticut line marked the first time the brand ever used both an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper and Dominican tobacco in its fillers. Measuring a stately 7 inches by 48 ring gauge and costs less than $10.00, this well-made cigar provides great flavor at a bargain price. See full tasting note.

Balmoral Añejo XO Connecticut Torpedo Mk52 (Dominican Republic, 89 points, $11.25): Featuring a Connecticut shade wrapper, Ecuador binder, and Dominican, Brazilian and Pennsylvania broadleaf fillers. With its excellent combustion and even draw, this blonde torpedo is mild yet sweet with notes of cedar, vanilla and cinnamon. See full tasting note.

Padrón Dámaso No. 12 (Nicaragua, 89 points, $13.50): The Padrón company dates back to 1964 and is well-known for its stronger smokes, but in 2015 the company unveiled their Dámaso line as a more mild offering to consumers who preferred a gentler smoke. Wrapped in an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper, this robusto burns perfectly. See full tasting note.

VegaFina Churchill (Dominican Republic, 89 points, $6.92): The VegaFina line was originally a European exclusive that was marketed as an economy-friendly cigar until 2007 when it was finally brought to the American market. This double corona, with a price hovering just below $7.00, is one of the best bargains on this list as you pay less than a dollar per inch. See full tasting note.

Cohiba Connecticut Gigante (Dominican Republic, 89 points, $22.99): Made at the General Cigar Dominicana factory, the Cohiba Connecticut line marks the first time that the Dominican Cohiba brand has ever been wrapped in an Ecuador Connecticut cover leaf. Measuring 6 inches by 60 ring gauge, this grande features a lush draw despite being the thickest cigar on this list. See full tasting note.

Oliva Connecticut Reserve Churchill (Nicaragua, 89 points, $9.85): Made with an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and fillers, this cigar is notable for its absence of ligero, the strongest known varietal of tobacco. Measuring 7 inches by 50 ring gauge, this light Churchill offers a floral, nutty smoke with notes of citrus and a dry finish. See full tasting note.

Archetype Dreamstate Churchill (Dominican Republic, 89 points, $12.79): Dreamstate is part of a series inspired by the works of psychologist Dr. Carl Jung regarding humanity’s collective unconscious and mythographer Joseph Cambell’s “Hero’s Journey.” The light-hued Churchill is an earthy and herbal smoke with hints of tea and honey. See full tasting note.

New World Connecticut Belicoso (Nicaragua, 89 points, $7.40): A follow-up to the New World line, New World Connecticut was the second father-and-son project between cigarmaker A.J. Fernandez and his father, Ismael. The Belicoso size is well constructed with excellent combustion. See full tasting note.

Undercrown Shade Corona Doble (Nicaragua, 89 points, $10.48): The Undercrown Shade line was created by master blender Willy Herrera due to a shortage of the Connecticut broadleaf used for Drew Estate's original Undercrown line. Despite its name, the wrapper is actually from Ecuador where tobacco is grown not under cloth like in other parts of the world, but under the natural cloud cover of the region. See full tasting note.

Highclere Castle Edwardian Petite Corona (Nicaragua, 89 points, $12.00): This diminutive smoke was blended by Nick Melillo, owner of Foundation Cigar Co., in partnership with Highclere Castle Cigar Co. as a tribute to Highclere Castle, the real-life setting of popular historical drama “Downton Abbey.” Wrapped in a U.S. Connecticut shade wrapper, this petit corona offers more body than one would think in such a small cigar. See full tasting note.

San Lotano Requiem Connecticut Churchill (Nicaragua, 89 points, $7.80): A milder follow-up to one of A.J. Fernandez’s first brands, this thick Churchill draws and burns evenly while giving off notes of mild spice and graham cracker. See full tasting note.

Montecristo White Vintage Connecticut Double Corona (Dominican Republic, 88 points, $13.75): Rolled at the Tabacalera Garcia factory, this cigar is a tweaked version of the Montecristo White line’s blend with a Connecticut shade wrapper grown in the U.S. and some added Peruvian filler. Measuring 6 1/4 inch by 50 ring gauge, this toro gives off a woody, bready smoke brightened by notes of citrus. See full tasting note.

Por Larrañaga Toro (Dominican Republic, 88 points, $7.20): The original Por Larrañaga brand dates back to 1834 in Cuba. This Dominican version of the brand was popular in the 1990s and was discontinued for some years before it was brought back to the market in 2016 by Altadis U.S.A. See full tasting note.

Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut Toro (Honduras, 88 points, $10.35): Measuring 6 1/2 by 52, this cigar marks the first time that Rocky Patel’s Vintage lines weren’t box pressed, due to the fragility of its Connecticut shade wrapper. It starts out herbal but gains more strength and complexity as it burns. See full tasting note.
