Once, the hobby of cigar smoking was closely linked with
higher status. It was indeed a status symbol since only the wealthy could
afford the cigars and also the accessories for it. But these days the cigars
and also the accessories have become more and even more accessible for the
general public. This has gone to the extent of the cigars and the accessories
like cutters to become more and more affordable. Thus, more people are able to
afford cigar smoking and enjoy it.
Selection of the right smoking accessories:
It is important to choose the right accessories for your
cigar smoking experience so that you get the right ones you need and also enjoy
them. It is not always about the brand but also the purpose which should be
served well. When you are choosing the cigar accessories, you need to keep it
in your mind very much what you are choosing. You must know that there are some
brands which are like any other luxury brands and they charge their customers
with the bonuses which are due to the expensive brand image of that particular
cigar. These all can be really expensive though they may not always qualify as
good products always. In fact, you may find the regular priced accessories of
cigars to be as good as the luxury brands. Now, after all this, it is your call
whether you will buy the luxurious ones or the retail priced products. But
remember, it is always useful to have these come with the best quality and a warrant
or a guarantee.
About the humidors…..
A humidor is one of the most important accessories which a
cigar smoker must have. This is wooden box which is used for the purpose of
keeping the cigars fresh and to preserve them. These maintain the temperature
and the humidity level of the cigars. Always remember that the cigars need
humid and warm climate. But for the places like the UK and the US, the
temperature is so different. With the help of these accessories, the cigars
remain fresh and intact. Humidor is one which will protect your cigar at any
cost. Apart from the wood like Spanish cedar (commonly used) these are also
made of plastic. You will find a number of these which will vary in their price
range from a few hundred to a thousand dollars. The ones costing over thousand
dollars are definitely within the luxury brands. The insides of these are
generally lined with cedar and these are also equipped with a humidification
device. These can carry a large number of cigars but since there is the demand
for the portable ones in the market, you will also find some of the smaller
ones. These can be placed perfectly in your office desktop and also these are light
for the purpose of travel.
Cigar cutter |
The cigar cutters:
The
cutter is one cigar accessory which you will really need. If you find a good
cigar cutter you will see that it gives a smooth cut on the tip of the cigar.
There are different types of these like a v-cutter, bullet cutter. However, a
guillotine cutter is really useful and it does the cut in one go and you get
big enough hole in the cigar for smoking.
