One of the most iconic items for the alpha male is the cigar. Movies and the media have a lot to do with it as iconic personalities such as Andy Garcia, Angelina Jolie and other personalities including Fidel Castro look extremely sexy with a smoke. The average cigar does not seem all that glamorous when unlit, but put it in someone's hand and it immediately becomes something else.
Cigar smoking is more than just a habit. Enthusiasts understand the value of a great roll, though. No self-respecting cigar lover would be without one when a special occasion arises.
Cigar lovers share a smoke as way of socializing. Some enthusiasts find new friends just by talking to others about their favorites. They talk about the finest cigar brands and where they get them.
Brazil as well as Cuba are famous for the quality of their cigar materials. Some of the best producers are also found in countries such as Mexico and the Honduras. Fortunately for cigar-lovers in the US, the laws on importing cigars are more or less permissive, all things considered.
These items are sold as self-serve items in local convenience stores, pharmacies and grocery stores, as well as in a few restaurants, hotel shops, vending machines, and online. However, the best types may only be purchased from special shops. Those who want better-than-average offerings can go to the specialized tobacco and cigar vendors.
Those highest up the price scale are by Altadis, the number one (in terms of size) manufacturer. Most of the major buyers for its stock come from the US and Honduras. Cigars are not all the brand makes.
Another important cigar manufacturer is Swedish Match, which is the second largest tobacco producer in the world. The company has factories all over the globe. Snuff as well as pipe tobacco is offered by the company.
The Fuente Family of the Dominican Republic should be added to the roster of great cigar makers. Since 1912, this family of cigar lovers and producers has been selling its popular Arturo Fuente and Montesino cigar types. The very much sought-out Fuente Fuente OpusX is yet another of its offers.
Another family that has been in the business for over a century would be the Leóns. One can trace their beginnings to 100 years in the past. They are the makers of the León Jimenes, one of their most respected cigars.
Too many people use cigars for them to go away any time soon. Many now understand that a cigar is a valuable product, due to the attention given to them. There can be a certain mystique too to the idea of smoking the same cigars your idols did, for so many admirable personalities in history were cigar smokers.
