Read more »Cuban cigars come in a vast variety to ensure there's a cigar to suit every taste. This can however make it a bit confusing to know which cigars are going to be right for your palate so that you can confidently place your order online. Whilst strength may not be the final deciding factor of your Cuban cigar enjoyment, it can make a big difference. For example, many cigar smokers may not wish to smoke a full strength Cuban cigar, such as a Cohiba Behike, at breakfast; it may be too strong for that time of the day. Cuban cigars don't just stick to one strength for all of their ranges, many offer different lines (or linea) in different strengths to ensure you can get the taste you love but for different occasions. If you are not sure what strength you enjoy, find your favourite brand of Habanos below and match it up with some you may have previously overlooked!

Read more »A question cigar smokers often ask, more so when buying New World cigars online, is, how do I store cigars which are presented in cellophane? Many cigar smokers who buy Cuban cigars may not know much about cigars in cellophane, as they are a bit of a rarity on premium Habanos. If however you are buying New World cigars such as Davidoff, Oliva and other popular brands, most of their cigars come with a thin plastic wrapper around them. If you are not planning to smoke them right away, do they need to be kept in a humidor and should you take them out of their packaging?
