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.
Some may think that cigars are easily given up. For some, however, it is nearly impossible to go without a cigar everyday. Cigar lovers walk around with their cigars, lit or unlit, meeting people, socializing, partying, or just spending quality alone time.
Enthusiasts also bond over their smokes. Talks about matters known to those in the cigar-smoking world can be the start of great friendships. Among other things, they tend to discuss their suppliers for cigars.
Cameroon is known for putting out excellent leaves. There are also high-quality varieties from Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Indonesia and the Philippines. These products make their way to America through less strict rules than those imposed on cigarettes; they are exempt from many of the distribution regulations implemented on the sales of cigarettes and are not required to mention health risks.
Cigars may be found in various establishments, and even in vending machines in some places. The expensive ones are sold in specialized establishments such as tobacconists and cigar bars. 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. Altadis mainly relies on its consumers in countries like the US and Dominican Republic for profits. They also manufacture cigarettes.
Swedish Match, second only to Altadis in terms of size, is one more influential brand. They produce products in Germany, Belgium, Honduras, Indonesia, the United States, and the Dominican Republic. Swedish Match's other products are more or less related to cigar and cigarette usage too.
Perhaps the third most sought-out cigars are those made by the Fuente Family from the Dominican Republic. With a hundred years of experience behind it, this particular brand's most famous offerings are the Montesino and Arturo Fuente. One of the greatest products to come from the Dominican Republic comes from the Fuentes: the Fuente Fuente OpusX.
Another family that has been in the business for over a century would be the Leóns. They started over a century ago. A number of their sticks are nearly legendary already in fame, like the La Aurora.
Cigar usage is obviously going to persist for quite a while. Some people do not even need to smoke a wrap of cigar to know its significance in society or its value, since most cigars are packaged as truly rare and exotic products. Smoking cigars puts you in a category of people that include Churchill and Freud.
