Cigar tins’ popularity is on the rise!

Cigar tins’ popularity is on the rise! It’s hard to enjoy a full-sized cigar anytime and anyplace because of the time commitment. We are so much engrossed in our jam-packed schedules that taking even 10 minutes to ourselves is difficult. Now, just imagine you are occupied with tons of work and you feel an urge to smoke. How will you pacify your sudden craving amidst your busy schedule or while commuting? Well, small cigars come to play in such situations. Cigarillos are the smaller version of premium smokes manufactured solely to offer a quickie to time-constrained smokers. These cigarillos are packed in portable tins or cardboard boxes to preserve their freshness and for ease of carrying. This is the prime reason behind the rising popularity of cigar tins.

Why Cigar Tins?

Many well-known premium brands have forayed into the cigar tins category to offer cigars that can be enjoyed anywhere and at a lower price. These cigars offer a quick smoke without compromising on flavor, draw, or quality. You can indulge during a work break, leisure break or on the go as they yield a tantalizing 10-minute smoking experience. They are also a great way to quench your cravings in places where you’re restricted to a shorter smoke. These stogies are a bit smaller than the average cigar with lengths of less than 5 inches and ring gauges less than 36mm.
