How do I choose a Cigar? July 11th, 2009

Since we are several months away from the next exciting Kentucky Derby, we want to spotlight a few Kentucky products that will be great for Derby next year, to have for yourself, or to give as gifts.
I found these really cool Maker’s Mark Cigars recently. My favorite part is that each on comes in a glass tube sealed with the tradmark red wax. The size is 6×50, is handmade, and has seasoning from Maker’s Mark Bourbon.
Now, if you are wondering what 6×50 stands for, it is the length of the cigar (6 inches), and the ring gauge of the cigar (50). One ring is 1/64″, so that is 50/64″ or, almost an inch. This cigar has a subtle Marker’s Mark Bourbon taste. How do you know what taste is right for you? The best way is to just give it a try. Cigar’s are all seasoned differently, and all experts say, the best way is trial and error.
OK, so my favorite thing about these cigars, besides being a cool Kentucky themed gift, is that you can buy a singe, set of 3 or box of 25. You can buy these Maker’s Mark Cigars here.
Happy gifting…or smoking…
