Review: Cigar Saveur (June)

Earlier this week I experienced my first box opening from Cigar Saveur. I must say, it was exciting! First, the packaging is incredible and I love the artwork. To me, it shows that these guys put a lot of thought and care into their presentation. This is a big deal because cigar smoking is an authentic experience that forces you to slow down and notice things you normally wouldn't when you're on the go. So, to begin, the box artwork is great, big thumbs up. 

Essentially, Cigar Saveur hooks you up with four (4) premium cigars each month once you subscribe as a member of the community. These cigars are not only unique in their flavor and strength, but some of these sticks are limited edition cigars meaning that only a certain amount of these cigars are produced. In my opinion, this enhances the experience because you're getting something special. These guys scout the best tasting cigars and deliver them to your door. Additionally, once you get a taste of some of these and enjoy them then you can consider buying a box of your favorite sticks at your local cigar shop or lounge; works out great because it's amount community!

I love smoking cigars. As mentioned, they help you slow down and help you to enjoy your experience whether it's found in a good book or among friends. In any case, upon opening the box, the 4 cigars pictured above were originally vacuum sealed which is genius. This allows the cigars to retain their freshness and are ready to smoke or be stored in your humidor. Personally, I stored them in my humidor right away only so that they can get acclimated to the temperature here in south Texas. But if you're not in scorching heat and can enjoy a stick right out of the box, I would encourage you to do so! 

The cigars come with an inventory list that gives you some fun facts about each cigar which is great if you're just getting into cigar smoking community (welcome!). Earlier, I smoked the Room 101 (shortest cigar in the bundle) and the draw was perfect (I prefer on the loose side) with plenty of smoke output, the flavor was sweet with plenty of spice, great tobacco aroma. Tomorrow, I'm trying out the Padron and I'm looking forward to it. Padron cigars are some of my favorite sticks (though I wish they'd double cap). But I digress. 

If you're a cigar enthusiast and love trying out new experiences, then I recommend checking out Cigar Saveur. And before I forget, when you sign up, you're part of an on-line community where everyone shares their thoughts. I've given you some hints of mine from the Room 101, but if you want to know more then you'll have to sign up!
