Use a Ziploc/Tupperware with a tight seal. 2. Introduce the cigars to a low level of humidity, 62% is preferred. 3. Carefully monitor the humidity with a hygrometer. 4. Increase the humidity every week, 62% to 65% RH. 5. Give the cigars time to acclimate to each RH increase. 6. Cigars will gradually soften. 7. Once the cigars have been in 69%-72% RH for a period of weeks, they are good to smoke. Aging Cigars Aging cigars is a deliberate process, with the intention and understanding that cigar flavours evolve and change over time. Oils from the binder, filler and wrapper tobaccos meld together over time and typically results in a more mellow flavour profile. How to age cigars: - 63-65% RH is common - Maintain the humidor - Rotate cigars on a regular basis - Leave at least 20% of the humidor empty for air and humidity circulation Resting Cigars Resting cigars is done for a period of days or weeks, long enough to let them acclimate to new humidor and home conditions. Doing this gives the cigars time to shed the residual taste of ammonia or other unwanted compounds that may surface after a cigar is rolled. What is Dry-Boxing a cigar? Cigars are placed in an empty wooden box over-night prior to smoking. This is a safe method to to fix over humidified cigars, and can improve the burn. Dry-box cigars for a maximum of 3 days.

Tips, Tricks & Information Pipes A New Pipe's First Stage of Life Building the "cake", means to create a layer of carbon on the chamber walls of the pipe from bottom to top. The easiest way to build the cake is to start with very little tobacco, about a pinch worth, and progressively increase the quantity of tobacco with every smoke. This method typically takes 10-15 smokes to have an effective layer of cake. How to Clean a Pipe Cleaning Steps: - Empty the ashes from the chamber. - Let the pipe completely cool. - Disassemble the stem. - Clean/change the filter ~ Metal filters can be submerged in water to be cleaned, let them dry completely before reassembling the pipe. ~ Disposable filters should be changed every 3 uses. - Clean the shank and stem with a pipe cleaner. Pipe Anatomy "Sour" Pipe: What is it and how to fix it A pipe may begin to taste bitter or "sour." Sometimes this is caused by not allowing the pipe sufficient time to "rest" between smokes. Other times this is caused by not maintaining a regular cleaning schedule. Fixing a sour pipe is relatively simple: Alcohol (rum, whiskey or vodka) makes a good solvent. Use a small handful of pipe cleaners, dampen them and go to town detailing the whole pipe. Bowl, stem, mortise, bit. Mind any finish on the outside as it can strip the finish away. If that doesn't work, the "salt bath" method should do the trick: Fill up the bowl with non-iodized salt. Dribble a little alcohol in the bowl and allow it to dry for 24 hours. Scrape it out and repeat untill the salt is clean.

Cuban's By the late 18th century it was acknowledged that finished cigars survived the transatlantic voyage much better than the leaf, and cigar factories were set up in Cuba. By 1810, Cuban cigar brands were registering for trademarks and the industry took off when Fernando VII of Spain allowed free trade for the island in 1817. **Availability May Vary** Bolivar Named after the great Simon Bolivar who liberated much of South America from Spanish rule. Bolívar is a current pre-revolution brand, established in 1902. It is classed by Habanos SA as a multi-local brand. The range comprises full-strength cigars using tobacco from the premium Vuelta Abajo region. Cohiba Cohiba is the flagship brand of Habanos. It was created for President Fidel Castro himself and was made at the then top secret, but now world-famous El Laguito factory. The Cuban brand is filled with tobacco that comes from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba which has undergone an extra fermentation process. This unique process produces a special aroma and flavour you will only find in Cohiba. Diplomatico Diplomaticos is a comparatively recent brand dating from the 1960's. It bears a marked resemblance to Montecristo, using numbers not names to describe it's size. Fonseca Don Francisco Fonseca founded the brand in 1890. A handsome man, who cared deeply for appearances, he passed his sartorial precision on to his cigars, which he dressed in silky tissue. All sizes are made with three long fillers and one short filler. Fonseca brand is very popular in Spain and mainly marketed in Canada. Guantanamera Guantanmera STRENGTH: Mild FLAVOUR NOTES: The range comprises light strength machine-made cigars using short filler tobacco from the Vuelta Arriba region. Hoyo De Monterrey Hoyo de Monterrey owes its origin to the town of San Juan y Martinez, which lies at the heart of the Vuelta Abajo tobacco region. The flavour of Hoyo de Monterrey blend makes it an attractive choice for those who seek a delicate yet aromatic Habano that is lighter to the taste but with great elegance and complexity. H. Upmann Herman Upmann was a banker from Germany who loved Cuban cigars so much that he moved to Havana in 1844 and set up as both banker and cigar maker. His bank closed in the early 1920 but his cigars live on as a fine example of an elegant light medium flavoured Habano. Jose L. Piedra A Value Cuban cigar brand, hand made using the medium filler and the short fill technique. The Piedra family came from Spain in the mid 19th century and settled near the town of Santa Clara, which lies at the heart of the Remedios region where the tobacco has been grown since the 16th century and started making cigars. Juan Lopez Juan Lopez Diaz, a Spanish businessman, founded this brand in 1870. It was popular at one point, exceeding sales from competition like Jose L Piedra and Quintero. Juan Lopez Cigars has always attracted a following of aficionados. La Flor Del Cano It has only a few cigars in production and a minor market share. The range comprises medium strength cigars, using tobacco blended from the Vuelta Abajo and Semi Vuelta regions. Montecristo Named after novel "Count of Montecristo" which was a favourite of the cigar rollers in the factory. Original range was No. 1 - 5. Pre revolution Montecristo was also a very popular brand and had high market share. Partagas STRENGTH: Full FLAVOUR NOTES: Heavy earthy and peppery flavours blended with robust tobacco taste used to be the hallmark of Partagas cigars but a change in 1995 led to a milder blend with less robust tobacco taste and fainter earthy and peppery flavours in many models. Por Larranaga STRENGTH: Light to Medium FLAVOUR NOTES: Por Larranaga cigars have an unmistakable caramel sweet taste, the hallmark of this brand. They are also subtly aromatic. All the filler tobacco in Por Larranaga comes from the Vuelta Abajo regions. Quai D'Orsay The brand Quai d' Orsay was created by Cubatabaco in 1973 for the French market. The name was taken from a well-known street in Paris beside the River Siene. Quintero STRENGTH: Medium FLAVOUR NOTES: Quintero's smooth, medium-bodied taste makes it ideal for those seeking to experience the flavour Habanos at an affordable price. Romeo Y Julieta STRENGTH: Medium FLAVOUR NOTES: Classic medium body with rich & complex flavours, almost all flavours (floral, nutty, herbal,fruity, woody, coffee, cocoa, vanilla) are present yet what is significant to Romeo is that none of these stand out and the taste is well balanced and not very tanic. Rafael Gonzalez STRENGTH: Light FLAVOUR NOTES: The cigars are renowned for their suave taste. Floral, herbal, mellow woodiness with honey sweetness are the main flavours. The tobacco taste is mild. This creates a blend of pleasant subtle and complex, which predominates over the mild tobacco taste and accounts for the brand's appeal. Ramon Allones STRENGTH: Full FLAVOUR NOTES: Floral exotic nuts, exotic herbs, honey sweetness with medium toasted tobacco tasted as background is the hallmark taste of Ramon Allones cigars. These flavours are presented a great complexity and balance. Trinidad STRENGTH: Medium FLAVOUR NOTES: Medium tobacco, herbal, floral and hints of bean flavors are what epitomize Trinidad cigars in taste.
