So March is upon us now. For some that signals the beginning of Spring, but alas, for others we will wait until mid April for that to occur. Still, we can all look forward to outdoor weather again after a heck of a harsh winter slammed most of us.
Where to enjoy a cigar is often not really up to us is it? Some are lucky enough to have a man cave, some the garage or workshop. Once the weather improves, my favorite spot for a cigar becomes the backyard deck. On a day without wind, drink in hand and my dog Corona by my side, there is nothing more relaxing.
Ok, on to business and this update. Governments are constantly looking to raise taxes on tobacco, even premium cigars. The Canadian government has imposed a 15% increase on the import excise tax for all cigars. Now, this is based on the cost of the cigar at time of import, so it may be minimal if that is all that is passed up the chain, but if the importer decides to use their normal mark up and make more profit at the same time, it could hit prices harder. We will have to wait and see the result over the coming weeks, but I thought you may want a heads up to stock your humidor for Spring and Golf Season.
We are always glad to be of service

Golf Season is almost here!
Ok, before you start the nasty emails, I admit the courses here in the North are not due for a while longer, but coastal and South of us, most will start their seasons in March.
E  veryone has a different view of what cigar to smoke on the course. It is just like choosing a club for a certain shot, different for each player. Some like the long and larger ring sizes found in our Diamond monthly cigar club, other the Robusto and Torpedo size in the Platinum and still others like the Corona and petit corona for that quick cigar break before playing the back nine.
Regardless of the size you enjoy, remember to move slightly stronger in your cigar choice to account for being outdoors and often in the wind. So much of a cigars enjoyment is sensed through smell and you release the smoke after drawing on the cigar that you may need something stronger to counteract the wind pulling the smoke away sooner.
You may also want to consider having some slightly less expensive Cubans in your golf bag. I am the first to share any of my fine Cubans with guys (or girls) that love a quality cigar, but we all know some guys will be happy to grab on of your Cohibas, but will only smoke two inches of it. That is a waste and disrespectful to the cigar. A less costly alternative is still a nice Cuban cigar experience and you can save the Cohibas for those that appreciate a truly top shelf Cuban cigar.
Enjoy the links and your Cuban cigars. |

I normally do not post a video link, but this is amazing. How they filmed it I do not know, but I can tell you, some days I feel like the Squirrel and other days the Hawk.

CIGAR REVIEWS

Cuban Cigar Review
Cohiba Robusto
4 7/8 x 50 ring
robusto
This Cuban cigar is like reconnecting with a old friend. One you have trusted, shared good times and bad and even though it may have been awhile, it feels like no time has passed. All the great memories come flooding back the second you light it and you know you will appreciate the time together.
I encourage you to reconnect with the Cohiba Robusto as one of the finest cigars you can have in your humidor. They are consistently pleasing, match well with most any beverage and are light enough to have any time of the day, yet still make a perfect after dinner cigar.
Loads of draw, smooth traditional coffee and cream sensations, a slight nutty tone. The finish is clean and the aroma will have those around you asking what you are smoking.
I really need to visit this old friend more often, we get along so well.
My rating on this cigar is 94/100 DF
CA Magazine rating for this cigar is a 93 on Oct of 2013 |
