The smell of a cigar is an essential part of the overall smoking experience, and one that I find particularly transportive.

The aroma of a cigar can be complex and multi-faceted, with notes of wood, earth, leather, and even sweetness. It’s a smell that takes me back to a specific moment in time and place, like sitting on the beach in Cuba with my wife, feeling relaxed and carefree.

The storage of cigars is also an essential part of preserving the aroma and flavor of cigars. The ideal storage condition for cigars is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 70% humidity. This helps to keep the cigars from drying out and losing flavor. One of the best ways to store cigars is in a humidor, which is a special box or room that is designed to maintain the ideal storage conditions.

I always keep my cigars in a humidor, and when I want to take a break from the stresses of life, I’ll take a cigar out and let the aroma transport me to a different place and time. And that’s the magic of cigars, their ability to transport you to a different world and make you feel like you are on the beach in Cuba with your wife, just enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
