Lighting up a fine cigar, whether after a rich gourmet meal, at a high-stakes business meeting or while at the venerable upscale gentleman’s' club is more than just a smoke – it's a ritual dating back to the time of King Alfred the Great.
Of course, cigars were unknown in Anglo-Saxon England at that time; in fact, the rituals surrounding the smoking of siyares were confined to a part of the world that would remain unknown to Europeans for another 500 years. It was the indigenous peoples of the Yucatan, the Guatemalan Highlands and the islands of the Caribbean who engaged in what archaeologists believe was a uniquely male rite of passage, involving the inhalation of fumes given off by the burning leaf, either rolled in another leaf or through a Y-shaped device called a tabakka.
The cigars you can purchase through Cigar Shops are far more refined than those early siyares, but much of the ritual surrounding them remains. For that reason, Shops Cigar the website also offers a range of cigar accessories that will enhance the smoking experience as well as preserve your cigar investment, maintaining them at the peak of freshness.
Accessories that no true connoisseur of fine cigars should be without include those all-important humidors. Properly stored, fine cigars will keep for years, even decades, but a proper humidor is necessary in order for this to happen.
In addition, you will find numerous other cigar accessories at ShopsCigar.com that include cutters, cases and lighters (even though a wooden match is the proper method for lighting a fine cigar).
Fine cigars themselves are available at a range of prices and tastes ranging from mild to bold. ShopsCigar.com also provides a guide to places where fine cigars are available for purchase by the box or individually as well as a listing of public establishments where you can enjoy your cigars with other like-minded individuals.
