Casual cigar owners often ask themselves: is a humidor really necessary? The answer is: only if you care about the quality and taste of your cigars.
After all, for some smokers, the after-dinner cigar is more symbolic than anything – a conspicuous display, perhaps, of taste and leisure, or a social or familial ritual. If, however, you smoke for taste – which is the best reason to smoke – you should probably invest in a humidor: a specially-constructed box designed to maintain your cigars in near-70% humidity and at a proper temperature when they’re not being smoked.

Thats Right! If you love to smoke ‘em you know enough to review them! We want to know what you think of the cigars you’re smoking (or have recently smoked) and we’re going to give out a 5 Cigar Sampler every month to one lucky person who submits reviews.
Whats that? You haven’t smoked anything in a while? Well then, how about reviewing your favorite beer, wine or liquor. Maybe you have a favorite lighter or the latest Cutter or Humidor that you’d like to review, well, those are fine as well!
Entering is easy. To submit your review, all you have to do is email it to reviews@cigarhaus.com along with any photos and a short bio you want included with the review. Reviews MUST be at least 200 words long (and no worries, they can be much longer!) and reviews with a photo of the cigar in question (even if its a stock photo) are more likely to be published. If you’re an affiliate for any of the online cigar stores, or you own your own store, feel free to include your affiliate link when linking to the product (why should we be the only ones to benefit from your work?).
All the email addresses used to submit reviews will be put in a list and a random generator will pick the winner of the sampler. If you submit multiple reviews in a month, you’ll be entered multiple times for that drawing and the count starts over at the beginning of the month. Its a win/win!
So what are you waiting for? Light up your favorite stick, sit down and the keyboard and tell us what you think about it today!
This came through on the email this afternoon, you can get a pretty cool looking Romeo Y Julieta humidor with the purchase of a box of cigars. Even better? The boxes are all 25% off!! Here’s the text of the email:
FREE Romeo y Julieta 20-Count Humidor with box purchase ($30 Value!)
Romeo y Julieta Viejo ‘B’ is the greatest, most celebrated blend of Romeo y Julieta ever! Since its Cuban birth in 1875, Romeo y Julieta has been one of the world’s most popular cigar brands. The new and rare Viejo blend is incredible. The perfectly aged tobaccos create a smooth, mellow flavor and mouthwatering creamy smoke. With an Old World Cuban-style triple cap, each Viejo cigar is meticulously box pressed to perfection by the most skilled rollers. Boxes of 20.
The boxes Range from $104 (for the sampler) to $140 for a box of Belicoso. Honestly, you can’t beat those prices, and the Humidor itself is worth at least $25.

On a whim today, I stopped by the local Cigar store today in search of a Room101 Cigar as I had been seeing a lot of noise on twitter about these sticks by Camacho Cigars and designer Matt Booth. The chatter had been pretty much good about them since they came out and all the other reviews were as well. I figured if it was time to branch out from the norm, why not start with these?
The stick I picked up today was the 305 (apparently named after an area code for Miami). The cost was about $7 per stick, which isn’t bad for a “designer” cigar as some can run much higher. The 305 is a Robusto with a Semilla 101 Wrapper grown exclusively for this project. It provided a surprisingly nice smoke that while it’s labeled as a Medium Bodied cigar, could easily pass for a full bodied smoke.
The initial draw had an initial spice to it that calmed down a touch to reveal some rich flavors that did not leave me feeling like I had been smoking the inside of an old shoe. I actually enjoyed this smoke so much that I continued to smoke it past the band (which came off easily with the heat) as I enjoyed the flavor and the aroma of the cigar itself.
The burn was nice and even as well and the ash hung on as well, I tried to let it go as long as I could, but after an inch or so, I cleaned it up a bit. All in all, if you’re looking for a good designer cigar that won’t break the bank to add to your collection, the Room101 sticks would be ideal. I went ahead and picked up another for myself just so I could make sure the first one wasn’t a fluke

Padron
Padron cigars are globally noted for its fabulous flavor along with the essence of Cuban heritage. Padron still sticks with handmade cigar making process. It firmly denies the potential stake of technology used into cigar making. Probably, Padron is the only example in the cigar world which doesn’t hesitate in expressing such unusual confidence and faith upon its clients. So, the premier online cigarshop like CigarsDirect.com has included it into its wide ranges of cigar.
Now, let’s have the glimpse upon company profile. Padron is a family owned business, led by José O. Padrón and Jorge Padrón. The family takes care of everything right from the tobacco culmination to sorting, processing, manufacturing and distribution. The cigar is made up of extra long-aged Nicaraguan-grown tobaccos from Cuban seed. There is an interesting incident with this cigar. Cigar Aficionado is a highly reputed cigar magazine. It has continuously rated Cigars more than twelve years but never named as the best cigar of the year.

The other day I had the opportunity to sample a C.A.O MX2 that I had picked up at a really good price through a singles sale on one of the online Cigar shops. I was a little concerned when I did some research on the MX2 as most of the other reviewers were quick to point out its Dark, somewhat oily wrapper (which comes from the well fermented Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro thats used) as I hadn’t smoked anything like it before (I tend to stick to the lighter wrappers). Still, not one to shrink away from a challenge, I went ahead and bought two of them and I’m glad I did.
