A Tobacconist Moi?
So its a very busy weekend for the cigar industry - and the weekend is when I usually give everyone a summary of my crusin' the web during the week, but this weekend is a very special one, and for most of the week, my buddies have been gearing up for the IPCPR tradeshow in Vegas...
Having said that - this weekend, all U will have is me!
Damsel what were U up to this week!
Well, the big news in my cyber cigar life this week, is -
Cigars 4Women hit the 100th Member Mark!
As part of the amazing learning curve in the Cigar Industry, and most particularly the manufacturer of our gems of tobacco - I've begun another evolution, or rather, embraced the next cycle of the revival...
I am so into knowing more about my passion, that I have decided to explore, and learn as much as I can about the makings of the cigar....here's a little about Tobacco Production....
I'm sure you fell in love with everything tobacco just as I did when I became a connoisseur of the leaf - When I first began this journey, I threw myself into the "everything" behind the taste of the cigar; including most recently the rolling, the growing of the tobacco, and the process of getting the cigar to us!
Cuba and the Dominican Republic.
Cuba - Cuban tobacco is acknowledged as among the finest in the world. Cuba’s best tobacco-growing area is the Vuelta Abajo, part of the Pinar del Rio region area in western Cuba. In general, Cuban tobacco is strong and full-bodied, with spicy and aromatic flavors. It is also renowned for its suppleness. Most factories of premium hand-rolled cigars are located in or near Havana, Cuba’s capital city.
Dominican Republic:
The quality and variety of cigar tobacco from the Dominican Republic has improved enormously in the past 20 years. The primary growing region is near the city of Santiago in the northern half of the country. Located in an agricultural region, this small city is also home to the majority of Dominican cigarmakers. Most Dominican tobacco is derived from Cuban-seed varieties. Although not as strong, it is quite full-flavored and lends itself to the creation of unusually complex blends.
