Well, you've found the right place. I continue to amaze myself as to how much information I can gather on cigars. My "Learning Library" alone gives you enough knowledge to converse with even the sharpest aficionado. In my "Never Too Much Information" area there's a really insightful link by Cigar Aficionado Magazine on Cuba. In short, the link below (Cuba who, what where etc..) has forty two separate articles on the current situation between the United States and Cuba. Just a reminder, please enter a "Contest a day, to keep the retailer away", you will eventually win like I have, 3-times in two years. I keep my "Deals Worth Looking Into" up to date, so if your in the market for some hot off the press deals, check back every other day. I added the "Chi Re-fueling Station" so after a long day, you can put on a great music video, browse for the most up to date deals from only the top and most reputable e-tailers, and last, change your life by upgrading your image. One of the newest addition's is "Bitch & Moan", where you can register a sub-domain, bitch & moan, and give the address to everyone you know, and like a website, advertise it so the entire world can see how bad someone screwed you. You can spot an Aficionado from a mile away, first is the Cigar Band, you need to be at minimum a connoisseur to recognize a brand from it's band. Second, smooth shaved, women love a clean shaved man who third, smells great! An aficionado also has the most current issue of Cigar Aficionado (or of the like publication) and has read it from cover to cover, so that he can intelligently converse about the industry, and know what the hell he's talking about. An aficionado researches his passion, so when the time comes to drop a load of cash on a box of cigars, he will know exactly what he wants, and wont have to spend senseless time listening to less knowledgeable sales rep's. He is a man of confidence and self assurance, ready to make tough decision's at any given notice. How is this possible? I'll tell you, and it's easy as long as you invite the change. Familiarize yourself with Village Humidor's layout (top to bottom) and start your apprenticeship. I have an astronomical amount of information and resources that not one blog on the web even comes close, well two: Cigar Aficionado & Cigar Cyclopedia, but their not blogs, are they! Hey, did someone mention catalog's. I am a big fan of catalog's and newsletters from all the great cigar vendors. I have access to over 2,000 retailers "Directory of Retail Tobacconist's" that want your email address so they can send you fresh product info, great sales and valuable tip's. I want you to feel at home at "Village Humidor", so please come back and visit and see what Aficionado's are up to. Oh and by the way, in my last post I mentioned that I got four 92 Rated Quintero Maduro's from/by Altadis for $9.95 (free shipping) and they were outstanding. I won't go into how much they smelled and tasted like chocolate (leave that up to the makers), however these cigars were fantastic for an aficionado's everyday cigar. They reminded me of the very popular "La Aroma de Cuba's", made extremely well and very affordable for everyday consumption. In closing, please do or continue doing what you can to fight the new "Tobacco Tax" (see my post "tax update 09/2007").
"There are plenty of good five cent cigars in the country. The trouble is they cost a quarter".
