At this time we always reflect upon the past, but also the present and future of our lives. We think about how life was when we were young, tell our loved ones stories from decades ago, and remind ourselves that the loved ones we have lost are symbols of what is inevitable. This is the time to be thankful for what we have. It is important to be happy, relax, and possibly even gain a pound or two over a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:24:07 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_stashing-away-the-clubs_102267.aspxAging causes time to seemingly move faster each and every day. I cannot believe that another year is coming to an end. Up North, the winter is quite an exhilarating time of year but it is also a bit of a downer. We must wave goodbye to the warm weather and some of our favorite spring and summer activities, like golfing. No matter how much I prepare myself for it, the end of golfing season is always a low blow. It might even be more emotional than watching your oldest child leave for college!Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:41:51 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_choosing-the-right-cigar-cutter_101089.aspxIf there’s one thing that most people don’t realize about cutting cigars before smoking them, it’s that there are many different ways to do so. Some are more efficient, some are more proper, and still some are unconventional (and are usually last resorts!). There are pros and cons to each cigar cutter—a special mechanical tool designed to snip off one end of a cigar in order for the cigar to be properly smoked.

But it is bittersweet for you know you must wait to enjoy them. You have to let them rest first.Thu, 03 Nov 2011 10:15:20 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_wrapped-or-unwrapped_96737.aspxOne of the most common questions I get asked about cigars is how to store them in your humidor—with the cellophane, or without it?Thu, 03 Nov 2011 10:12:44 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_the-perfect-everyday-cigar_90791.aspxSometimes, you can’t focus on just your cigar. You might be mowing the lawn, golfing, or just thinking about a thousand other things at the same time. But that doesn’t mean you have to feel guilty about not giving the cigar your full attention. This is, of course, not the time for your premium (i.e. expensive) stogies; but just because you’re busy doesn’t mean you have to stop smoking!Tue, 11 Oct 2011 11:10:15 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_why-heat-is-bad-for-your-stogies_89000.aspxHumidors are a must--and they must be taken care of properly. If you misuse them, your cigars will be ruined! What can happen if you disregard temperature and humidity? Well, look out below!Wed, 05 Oct 2011 10:28:10 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_cigar-and-beer-pairings-for-winter-and-fall_87661.aspxIt gets darker earlier each day, the nights are getting colder, and leaves have already begun to fall. A change in the seasons always causes a change in my tastes. The summer is all about mild cigars and light ales but fall and winter are filled with heavier cigars and dark lagers or stouts. To fully enjoy both cigars and beer, I believe that they must be experienced together. Separately they may be sufficient, but for complete satiety always be on the look-out for the right mix.Fri, 30 Sep 2011 12:19:14 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_features-of-the-best-cigar-lighters_81930.aspxIt’s a stretch to believe that a cigar lighter really is one of the most crucial tools for any cigar smoker. You may think that a lighter is just a lighter but like a set of chef knives, there are many different kinds and each one serves a specific purpose. A good high-quality cigar lighter-—also known as a torch lighter thanks to the resemblance and the strong flame produced—-should allow for a flame that stays, unwavering, in any environment. But there's more to a cigar lighter than just that!Wed, 14 Sep 2011 08:49:37 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_local-cigar-clubs_44285.aspxAs legislation makes it harder and harder to enjoy a cigar publicly, cigar clubs are great resources to have a cigar among friends.Tue, 07 Dec 2010 13:42:24 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_gift-ideas-for-cigar-enthusiasts_43875.aspxIt's not always easy picking out the perfect gift, especially your recipient is a cigar fan. Don't settle for a lame sweater or box of chocolates, get them something they will really like! Fri, 03 Dec 2010 10:54:28 GMT
