What Do You Really Need?
So, what do you really need and what do we have in that category? Let’s find out.
A Humidor
A cigar humidor is absolutely essential to keeping your cigars moist and perfect for smoking. Once exposed to the environment, cigars tend to get dry and brittle. So, it is imperative that you keep your smokes in a temperature-controlled environment.
Also, a humidor is the perfect place for your cigar to continue to age with grace. It is beyond doubt that some cigars will need some humidor time to allow their flavors to settle and mature.
A humidor can be a huge cabinet size piece of furniture, an entire room or walk-in humidor - the kind of humidors found in cigar stores, or a small table-top humidor. When push comes to shove, you can have a humi-bag to take with you as you travel.
So, what do we have to offer? Humidor Supreme Soldier Strong, Gotham Cigars Desktop Humidor, Humidor Espinosa Bundle Kit, Humidor Rocky Patel Bundle Kit, and Humidor Supreme Fighter Jet.
A Cigar Cutter
For some weird reason, cigar cutting is beyond clipping one end of a cigar. In fact, the entire process of preparing a cigar for smoking is more of a ritual than a step by step procedure.
Most experienced cigar smokers derive joy from the entire process including the toasting. So, picking a cigar cutter is not just about picking the first one you find. It’s about finding the right cutter for your cigar.
You must always be careful when clipping your cigar because a bad cut can definitely ruin your cigar. For instance, if you cut too much of it off, then the draw is all wonky and may turn your cigar bitter. If you cut carelessly, you may end up with a torn wrapper that means all kinds of problems.
So, which are the best cutters? Gotham Cigars Single Blade Cutter, Villiger Cutter, Vertigo Cutter, Oliva Cigar Cutter, and AJ Fernandez Guillotine Cutter.
A Lighter
A lighter is quite obvious. What isn’t obvious is that you can’t just light a cigar using a matchstick or any oil-based fuel because it does taint the flavor of the cigar.
Insist on a Butane Lighter or a Cedar stick. Some Sampler packages come with special matches for lighting cigars. For instance, the Gotham Summer Sampler has a box of special matches for this very purpose.
Our best lighters collection include AJ Fernandez Lighter, Leon Jimenez Lighter, Rocky Patel Icon Gun Metal 2 Flame Lighter, Altadis Torch Lighters, Camacho Single Torch Lighter, J.C Newman Torch Lighter, and 5 Vegas Lotus Triple Torch Lighter among many more.
