There are lots of things about cigar smoking to enjoy. The flavors, the aromas, the social aspect. But one of the biggest things is the way a cigar offers a chance to really kick back and relax. No matter how hectic or stressful a day might have been, I know I can always unwind and clear my head with a great cigar. I find I can think much clearer and that gives me just the right moment to step back and really put the events of the day in perspective.

For hundreds of years people have been smoking cigars to relax, to think, to sort something out. It’s more than a party favor, it’s a method of meditation in a way. 

In The Connoisseur's Book Of The Cigar, Zino Davidoff remarks that “the cigar is an instrument of happiness and carries with it, as time passes, relaxation and peace of mind."

In the fast-paced world we live in today, by setting aside an hour or so to light up a stogie, you create a peaceful space for yourself and an enriching experience.

Davidoff goes on to say that a good cigar is almost like a piece of armor, “useful against the torments of life.” Fascinating to think that, as Davidoff puts it, “a little blue smoke mysteriously removes anxiety."

While cigars are frequently associated with parties and all sorts of revelry, the truth is, it can also be a truly calming experience. There’s nothing wrong with being a celebratory-cigar-type-of-person, but if you’re a lover of cigars, you’re missing out if you haven’t ever really taken the time to explore the complexities of your cigar and all the relaxing benefits fine tobacco can provide.

Between the layers of flavor and the comforting aromas, it soothes the soul every time!

Have a great day, stay good.
