Just as the EU wine industry experienced tension and growing pains as US wine producers gained global accolades, the Cuban cigar industry must face market realities that they are not the world leader in cigar production and cigar quality.  In fact, the lifting of the Embargo ( whatever that means ) will not, can not return Cuba to its glory days.  The cigar industry has taken root and gained force in many of the states mentioned above, and there is no indication that they will go into bankruptcy if the embargo is lifted.  They are gaining notoriety and accolades for producing quality products that the US cigar backer has grown to accept and love.

Becoming acquainted with Cigars: The size of the cigar will give you a general indication of how strong the taste is. The bigger the ring size, most likely means, the smoother, fuller, slower and cooler the stogie will be. Cutting a cigar: The cap of a hand rolled cigar must be cut before lighting it. You can do this with punch cutters, cigar scissors, or guillotine cutters. The guillotine is recommended for the best cut. Make sure you don’t remove the entire cap off, because it may damage its wrapper. Handrolled cigar fans are known for their appreciation of food and wine. One of the best times to offer a cigar is after a meal. Other great times to indulge in your favorite stogie can be: during or after business meetings, while walking the dog, while on your way to and from work or ulitmately just any time you’re looking to enjoy the fulfillment and relaxation provided by a handmade cigar. Smoking a Stogie: Cigars are meant to be appreciated and savored for the feel, taste and the aroma. Puff slowly. Don’t puff to hard. If your cigar extinguishes itself, it is proper to relight it within one to two hours. Any later than that, it will taste limp.
