I think it’s sexy when guys smoke cigars, not that it matters because I’m gayer than flannel plaid at a marriage equality rally. But I do have a vagina and an opinion that jibes with reality 9/10 times (I enjoyed Iron Man II and for that I will not apologize) so when I say that a man looks rather dashing with a cigar in one hand and a glass of scotch in the other, you can safely assume that other attractive, well rounded ladies share similar views on the subject.
These ain't cigars!
But not every cigar brings the class. You can’t light up a Black & Mild and still look like one suave bastard unless you’re still in high school and your friends haven’t figured out that not getting carded by the geriatric clerk at the gas stations isn’t a superpower and doesn’t make you a god among mortals. It just means you’ve got facial hair that looks like it migrated from your junk for the summer.
When it comes to cigars, it’s really best that you avoid the gas station all together.
Here’s my list of the three best places to buy cigars:
Your Local Cigar Shop – Good cigar shops will have climate controlled rooms (often referred to as walk-in humidors or humidor vaults) for storing cigars. You’ll also be able to find a reasonably priced humidor for storing cigars at home. You’ll also be able to sample different cigars in different sizes to decide what kind you like to smoke.
Florida - No, like really. South Florida is an awesome place to buy near-Cuban quality cigars that are hand rolled in front of your very eyes, which is like Christmas, Mardi Gras & your birthday happening all at once in the back room of a cigar shop where no one over 40 speaks English. It’s awesome…
Online – If you’re not yet a dyed-in-the wool cigar aficionado, buying cigars online might be your best bet for getting started without worrying about looking like a tool. These guys, for instance, have a pretty sweet starter kit that includes a perfectly respectable set of Victor Sinclairs with a humidor, a butane lighter, and a guillotine cutter all for $20. Click the picture to be magically whisked through the intertubes to learn more.
I’ve placed the knowledge firmly within your grasp, my young padawans. This is the first step on the journey towards smoking things that don’t make you look like you tripped and fell out of 2004.
Now put down those Swisher Sweats. You graduated 8 years ago, dammit!
