Albany, NY (PRWEB) February 07, 2012

PipesandCigars.com, a leading online tobacconist, is about to accept the 300,000th online order in the company’s history. Since the launch of the site in 2000, the company has supplied cigars, pipes, pipe tobacco and a wide variety of smoking accessories to thousands of satisfied customers. To celebrate this impressive milestone, PipesandCigars.com is going to triple the order of the lucky customer who places order number 300,000.

“We couldn’t have reached this incredible number of orders without the continued support of our many loyal customers,” said PipesandCigars.com owner Scott Bendett. “That is why we want to give the customer who places the milestone 300,000th online order something extra special to show our appreciation. I feel like our company’s attention to providing not only an excellent value, but a premier experience for our customers when they purchase their pipes, pipe tobacco and cigars is one of the main reasons we’ve made it to 300,000 orders. I plan to continue to make customer satisfaction our number one priority as we move on towards 400,000 and 500,000 orders.”

The company’s beginnings are humble, from the first order placed on the site in November of 2000, it took the company almost 7 years to get to order number 100,000. The next one hundred thousand came at a more rapid pace, as order number 200,000 was accepted in March of 2010. With another one hundred thousand orders placed in less than two years, the company’s continuous growth is obvious. These online order totals do not include the thousands of orders that customers place over the phone.

The company’s Marketing Director Travis Lord was reached for comment and said: “This milestone is very meaningful for our company. It proves that a company can thrive even in this harsh economic climate by providing a quality product at an excellent value backed up with outstanding customer service. We strive every day to offer our customers the best shopping experience possible for all their cigar, pipe and tobacco needs; and the incredible volume of orders from both new and repeat customers is all the proof I need to see that smokers appreciate the level of quality service we offer. I give the credit to our philosophy of bringing the spirit of a local tobacconist to the Internet. I think our customers really appreciate having a staff of extremely knowledgeable people to call on as well as a wide selection of hard to find items often not carried by the large warehouse-style companies. Smoking cigars and pipes is a very personal experience for each individual, and I think our success is largely based on the personal touch we provide for such a unique hobby.”

Based on typical order volume, PipesandCigars.com expects the 300,000th order to be placed sometime in the daytime hours on Thursday, February 9. The company is committing to triple the quantity of product purchased in order number 300,000, up to a value of $ 333.33. The lucky customer who places order number 300,000 will end up with three times as much premium tobacco or accessories as they pay for.

Shopping for cigars online is not only convenient, it is cheaper, quicker, and easier than going to your local cigar shop.

Online cigar stores, like their offline counterparts offer cigars and cigar products in a tremendous assortment of brands from the very inexpensive to ultra elite. In the U.S. the common brands include Montecristos, Macanudos, and Nat Shermans. The most desired cigar for the true cigar aficionado remains the expensive and rare Cuban variety of cigars. The internet combined with a more relaxed policy on importation of some Cuban goods has made enjoying Cuban cigars much easier for Americans in recent years.

Article by Jaffray Gurner

My first cigar experience was not only memorable, but also enjoyable, because I had a veteran cigar smoker to guide me along. He patiently explained the different cigar brands, and gave a description of the flavors I could expect from each. After I had cut, lit and smoked my first cigar, I was hooked. You may or may not know a veteran cigar smoker to help guide you along, but if you follow theses tips I can guarantee the best experience possible.

When people try something new and have a bad experience they tend to write it off for good. That is why it’s imperative to not buy your cigars online until you know what you like. My first suggestion is to find a proper tobacco shop that only sells cigars, pipe tobacco and Briar and Meerschaum pipes. It also helps to have a couple friends to enjoy the experience with.

Cigars can be mild to full bodied. For your first cigar stick with a mild hand-rolled cigar. Romeo y Julieta, Royal Jamaica and Macanudo are brands that make wonderful mild cigars. A fair price for a good cigar is to dollars, which is right where you want to be.

Cigars are categorized by their size and thickness. Robusto is a short thick cigar. Corona is mid size (I suggest corona for a first cigar). Double corona is a few inches longer than corona. Quality hand-rolled cigars need to be cut. Purchase a guillotine cutter or have the shop attendant cut it for you. Never use your teeth to cut a cigar.

Now that your cigar is bought and cut I will discuss how to light it properly. You can use either a wood matchstick or a butane torch to light your stogie. Place the cigar in your mouth and graze the tip of the cigar to the flame. As you graze the cigar with the fire take slow and easy puffs while rotating the cigar. Flip the cigar around to see if the entire surface is glowing orange. If there are still dark spots then continue the process.

Find a comfortable chair and some good company. Treat the cigar in your hand like a fine glass of wine-sip, savor and enjoy its aroma. Take slow easy draws, at most, every 45 seconds, and let the smoke tantalize your mouth before you release it. Do not inhale

Give the cigar a 30 second rest between each puff. Puffing on a cigar as if you were in a competition will cause the smoke to heat up and possibly burn your mouth and fingers. Slowly smoking and savoring a cigar is a technique cigarette and former cigarette smokers have trouble with. This is because smoking cigarettes is a relatively fast process.

Unlike cigarette tobacco, cigar tobacco is moist and will stop burning after 3 to 5 minutes if left untouched. If your cigar does go out, relight it using the same technique you used to light it. If a cigar has been out for more than 30 minutes, throw it away. The tar that settles on the tip of the cigar will cause it to taste harsh and sour.

Ashing a cigar is very different than cigarette smokers ash cigarettes. Cigar smokers let the ash build up to half-an-inch before they gently tap it on the ashtray. If the ash does not fall off when you tap it, then it is not ready to be ashed.

By following this guide you are increasing the chance that your cigar will burn evenly and smoothly from start to finish. Purchase a few more cigars as you leave the shop. Try different sizes (Robusto, corona and double corona) and compare the differences in strength, draw and flavor. If you do not have a humidor to keep them moist, you can keep them in a zip-lock bag, but for no longer than a week. Happy cigar smoking!

Macanudo Maduro Sampler Edition Cigar Review This 6×60 cigar comes in a special retailer only 4 pack sampler with three other Macanudo blends, all in a 6×60 format. It features a coal black, thin firm wrapper with small veins, invisible seams, a nice oil sheen, a double cap and a rich hay and tobacco aroma. First light reveals a perfect draw, medium body flavors of a rich, smooth an oily aged tobacco with a creamy textured finish, putting out plenty of smoke. The first third comes down to a mild-medium, with creamy smooth oily tobacco flavor with a bit of earth and sweetness, holding the same flavors on the long finish. Draw and smoke output is excellent with a good burn, not needing any attention. The 2nd third changes up slightly to a slightly sweet and oily musty chocolate. It’s an interesting combo of flavors, and it’s growing on me. The last third drops the mustiness for a dry light earth flavor, leaving a much heavier, warmer finish. Ending at 1:10 min the stick had excellent construction the whole way through. Thank you to General Cigar for providing this for review!

Now you can buy your favorite cigars at up to 99% off retail! TBS-Cigars.com, a retailer of premium cigars since 1999, has recently launched CrazyCigarDeals.com, where buying premium cigars is combined with the newest excitement of on-line penny auctions. CrazyCigarDeals.com is the first cigar auction website with exciting live bidding action right down to the last bid. Unlike other auction websites with time limits, the auctions on CrazyCigarDeals.com continue until the last bid is placed, just like in a real live auction.

The concept goes something like this: items are put up for bid, and each time a user bids, the price is typically increased by 1 cent. At the same time the amount of time added to the auction also increases up to 20 seconds with each bid. If no new bids are received before time runs out, the last bidder wins the item. Typically auction winners experience huge savings that other auction websites cannot come close to matching, with discounts at over 70% off retail.

CrazyCigarDeals.com holds cigar auctions on hard-to-find cigars as well as many popular favorites. Cigar smokers will recognize familiar brand names like NUB, Macanudo, Punch, Montecristo, Ashton, Fuente and others among the dozens of other cigar auctions. Auction shoppers can even bid on cigar accessories, including ashtrays, humidors, lighters, cutters and travel cases.

Registration at CrazyCigarDeals.com is free to begin experiencing the bidding process and live cigar auctions. Every new member receives a free sample bid package which may be used to bid on any items listed on the auction website. If more bids are desired, they may be obtained for free via the “Refer-A-Friend” program, promotional codes, or a bid package may be purchased or won on the auction website.

Since CrazyCigarDeals.com went live on-line, cigar lovers in the USA (and our fine military overseas) are able to get their favorite cigars at prices no other cigar auction website can offer. Auction winners are extremely happy with the auction wins with many posting photos and comments on cigar forums, like StogieChat.com and other social networks.
