Tatiana Cigars & More

I have a new favorite cigar to add to my list. Tatiana cigars are now the Top Cigars on my list. They are so smooth and pleasant to smoke, I switched to them from a cigar that I smoked for many years.  Last month I was able to attend a cigar store that was featuring them on a special, so since the price was right, I got one to try.  The burn was so smooth and the draw was perfect.  I would recommend these to any smoker that I know. The thing that surprised me the most is that they are flavored. I tried a few different flavors from them, but I really liked the Mocha flavored. I am a huge coffee fan, so mixing it with my tobacco is totally delicious. There were other flavors that I tried and liked, like the rum and vanilla. I have had rum flavored cigars before, and they were not as good as these. But after I tried the mocha, I have to say that they are the best flavored cigars that I have ever had. Another thing that I really like about these cigars are the quantities they come in.  I can buy a tin if I am not planning on smoking to many or a box if I am going on a trip and need to take some for a few weeks. Plus the best thing about these cigars is that they are rather inexpensive. Compared to the premium natural cigars that I was smoking, this is really going to help my budget overall. Not that it is too big a deal, but spending less always helps, and that way I can save money for other things that I really want. For now these are the Top Cigars on my list, and I cannot imagine finding a more tasty cigar at that price to knock this one out of the running.

White Owl Cigars have been about for many many years and I have smoked them for so long as I can remember. I came across an article from July 1932 about the General Cigar company, which manufacturer’s White Owls. At the time, these machine made cigars were being sold at 7 cents. And that price was a bit to high for cigar smokers of that day. The median price of a machine made was about 5 cents. Many folks went to General to make them lower their price down to five cents. Not only did they need the price reduced, but they didn’t need the stogie to be modified at all . They wanted the same size and quality filler at a lower cost. White Owl cigars are made with the most expensive filler that the US grows and is a top quality cigar that some aficionado’s didn’t mind paying some extra cents. Many executives of the company weren’t prepared to modify the price, they would be making the lowest profit from the change and other companies using scraps and damaged ends of tobacco would still be making a significant profit margin, for less superior cigars. In the end, the decision was made to low the costs, but keeping the practice of great long filler and over sized cigars. Once the reduction was put into effect, the company broke records for rapid increase in consumption. They managed to do this with organized production and vast output. I wish they still only cost five cents per cigar, that would save me a lot of cash, I believe that I would be alright with paying the 7 cents too.
