Homepage About Health Cuban Contact Cuban: How do you choose the right Cuban cigar for you? Do you choose a cigar or does it choose you? Choosing the right Cuban cigar is like choosing the right piece of clothing, you have to try it on first and see if you like the fit. Don’t always expect to like everything you try as some cigars may be rolled to tight, and don’t have a lot of draw and others are too light or too strong flavored for your particular taste. There are a few things that you can look for that will help narrow the vast selection and make finding that right fit a less daunting task. You should find out if the cigar you are smoking is hand made or machine made. With the recent resurgence in popularity of the ‘good cigar’ the demand has exceeded the supply and as is often the case the quality has suffered. We also see more of the top name brands coming to market with their versions of machine made cigars. Although you will still get a nice aroma and that rich Cuban flavor coming out in the machine made cigars, it is just as easy to get a handmade variety at a comparable price, which will inevitably produce a greater smoking experience.
