Humidors have long been a tool that the cigar conessouier not only uses to store cigars but is a proud display piece for his/her collection.  The modern day humidor comes in all shapes and sizes.  Some are made from spanish cedar others are plastic.  These humidors can hold anywhere from 5 up to 3000 cigars.  So with so many different kinds, shapes, and sizes how do you know what to look for when trying to find your next show piece?

The first thing you need to look for is making sure the humidor has a good seal.  It can be the most beautiful thing in the world but if it doesn’t shut right and keep a tight seal it’s worthless.

Second you need to determine how many cigars you are going to store.  Or how many you may need to store in the future.  This is very important espcially if you join cigar forums where BOTL’s(Brothers of the Leaf) are very generous and bombings(random cigar packages sent out) go flying through the mail.  Not to mention going to the devil site(a cigar auction site - www.cigarbid.com).

Third you can focus on design and what you would like to display proudly when the buddies come over to smoke and have a drink.  There are many different styles and looks to humidors.  Which is why it takes some time to find the right one.

When it’s all said and done you should have a very nice display piece that will be able to care for your cigar for years to come.  Enjoy your search as it is one of the many joys of cigar smoking.  For more humidors and cigar accessories please visit our affiliates: http://www.humishop.com.

In The Humidor writes about the rights of cigar smokers and the CRA that was developed to keep these rights.

Cigar Rights of America

“No, you cannot smoke in here. They just passed the anti smoking ban.”

How often have you heard that latley? It is an all too often occurence these days for us cigar smokers to hear those exact words when walking into a pub or bar… some of us even our own cigar shops! How did this happen? How can this be stopped?

Well, I know we all have the same questions going through our heads but a number of cigar manuafatuers and retailers have decided to try and do something about it. It’s called the Cigar Rights of America and it’s about time. As I am sure most of you are aware of the SCHIP bill that congress is trying to pass to impose a 3,000% tax on tobacco, including cigars. This is unconstitutional and taxation without representation.

Please click on the link and read up about what they are trying to do for your rights as a cigar smoker. Join the fight and help us keep our rights as United States citizens. It is through these avenues that we must proceed to keep our government from taking all of our rights away. The land of the free… let’s keep it that way.

Here is the list of Companies supporting the CRA:

Here is a review of the new Macanudo cigar as written by InTheHumidor.com. We agree with the assesment here as the cigar is very good. What a difference between the Macanudo of old and the 1968.

Here it is folks, the new Macanudo 1968. I know, I know, you have been waiting for this cigar for so long becuase of your life long devotion to the old Mac… right? Uhhh, yeah I didn’t think so. So when General Cigar Co. decided to expose this new creation at the IPCPR show I for one was a little skeptical. On to the cigar itself.

What a beautiful display this cigar is. From its shiny gold lined band to it’s oily sheen it truly is a beautiful cigar. Very small veins were visible on this cigar and the foot had a smell of cedar and coffee. I could not wait to fire this baby up. On the initial light up I got great flavors of hay, coffee, and toffee. Wow! I couldn’t believe my senses were telling me that a Macanudo had these flavors, but as everyone out there is saying… “This ain’t your father’s Macanudo.” This is in fact the new and improved Macanudo from General and it’s about time!

The cigar must have changed on me 4 times going from medium, to Full bodied and vise versa. The flavors were outstanding throughout. I think I may have found another favorite! Although, they would have to work on the M.S.R.P in order to make it a daily smoke. 40years in the making they say… What took you so long?? The Macanudo 1968 is not my fathers cigar, it’s mine!

General is offering a deal on all 3 sizes for the Macanudo 1968 currently for $9.95, here is the link: Macanudo 1968 Offer!
