I often get asked 'How can you guarantee that your cigars are authentic Cubans ?'. It is always a questions that surprises me, in so far that, the answer lies in one factor and one factor only.

Distributor, on or off line. All Official H...

As the temperatures and humidity levels change with the evolution of the seasons, be sure to keep an eye on the atmosphere of your humidor. These changes often see the drying out or over humidifying of cigars, which leads to poor smokes. For those of you who do not have an electrically controlled humidification system, these seasonal changes can become a challenge when trying to maintain consistency in your humidor. ...

During the New Year festivitities, I got talking to a chap who had a friend, who's father had been a keen cigar smoker, Cuban's only of course. His son never really took interest in the world of cigars, so knew nothing of the value of Cuban cigars, especially aged Cuban cigars. Sadly the father passed away towards the end of last year and his son was left to empty the family home. Imagine his surprise, when in his fa...

I have a mate coming over from England this weekend. He has to be Britain's leading cheese lover, hence his annual pilgrimage to Switzerland, home of the melted cheese recipes. Amongst the fondues, a visit to the Jet D'eau, the raclettes, a tour of the United Nations and a croute au fromage, I have asked my mate to sample a couple of cigars to get his impressions of what will work with cheese. We will be trying a cou...
