Welcome! Now let's talk about cigars

Welcome to my blog.  Being a person that absolutely loves the "cigar world", here we'll discuss everything cigar.  Including, but not limited to cigar manufacturing, countries of origin, how to correctly smoke a cigar, what foods and drinks enhance cigars and many other things.  Just a little about me.  I've been enjoying cigars for more than 25 years, and have a close relationship to many of the companies that produce cigars as well as I serve as the event coordinator for Cardenas Cigars in Sacramento, CA http://www.cardenascigars.com/  My personal collection includes well over 100 boxes/bundles/singles (and if you're counting, that's about 2200 or more cigars).  Cigar enjoyment is not just smoking, it's truly an art.  Over the coming weeks I'll tell you how I was introduced to cigars, what drives my passion for them and hopefully share things that will make you're cigar life more enjoyable and knowledgeable.  I'll post ratings of cigars (and explain what makes up most rating systems), where to buy them, what to look for etc.  If you have any ideas, suggestions, comments, complaints etc., please feel free to let me know.  So, "light 'em if you got 'em".  Long ashes
