Â?Our advantage is unbeatable service, aggressive prices, an ample selection of eminent quality products, fast transporting, and our comprehensive product knowledge,Â? says Anto Kamarian, owner of Cigars by Chivas. Â?Knowledge is valuable if you cannot share it. With our website we can now share our knowledge of cigars beyond the borders of California.Â?

After a necessitating review process through which several agencies were conversed, Cigars by Chivas selected Clear Pixel Communications Â? a Santa Clarita, California provider of commercializing and management solutions to entrepreneurial organizations Â? to comprehensively redesign the storeÂ?s brand and to evolve the fresh online cigar store. Using the passed on functionality of the Miva Merchant e-commerce platform as a springboard, Clear Pixel created a customized user interface that equilibrated form and function.

Â?Leveraging the strength of the fresh brand image we evolved while blowing up the Miva platform was our goal,Â? says Matthew A. Gilbert, Managing Director of Clear Pixel. Â?The result is a highly functioning e-commerce solution that doesnÂ?t sacrifice on style. The project can be summarized up in one word: fuming!Â?

American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa Â? are accepted over a 128-bit SSL certificate procured by GeoTrust of Needham, Massachusetts.

Although Cigars by Chivas is fresh to online commerce, the store celebrates its tenth anniversary in November. Founded in 1995 on the corner of De Lacey Avenue and Green Street in Old Pasadena, California, Cigars by Chivas is today one of the most boffo cigar stores and fuming lounges in the United States.

Among a handful of retailers proffering the accomplished line of Davidoff cigars, one of even fewer trading the concentrated PG brand of Paul Garmirian (with whom Anto is an ad hominem acquaintance), and as the number one S.T. Dupont nominated merchant in the country, Cigars by Chivas provides a virtually incomparable selection. Complementing the selection, the store also offers an asking for, experienced ambience, along with exclusive cigar-related events, giving it the cold balance of selection and setting.

Â?I appear forward to meeting my friends and loosening up with a cigar,Â? says longtime Cigars by Chivas customer and cigar lover Henry Lee. Â?Whether weÂ?re watching a movie or just discoursing localised events, thereÂ?s nothing quite like fuming with your friends after an arduous day. I bask the camaraderie at Cigars by Chivas.Â?

For its predominant visitors, the store also offers a concentrated back room. Complete with classical leather couches, a stereo and flat-panel television, framed in by secret wood cigar lockers, the room is part executive office and part playhouse. The intent, of course, is to further friendship and boost interaction among customers Â? two of KamarianÂ?s motivations for opening up the store

Â?I got palled of all the regulations forestalling me from fuming, so I opened up Cigars by Chivas as a secure haven for myself and other aficionados,Â? Kamarian explains, observing the ad hominem and altruistic impetus for his decision to venture into an industry about which he had previously only had experience as a consumer. Â?Over the past ten years many enduring friendships have evolved over dozens of enthusiastic cigars.Â?

So how does someone with nearly no experience in an industry go so boffo in it? Although the location of the store and the selection of cigars have been better factors, the number one reason is the extraordinary service Cigars by Chivas promises. Kamarian estimates that nearly 90 percent of his sales are made by reiterate customers Â? an arresting statistic in any industry and a testament to his dedication to satisfaction. For Kamarian, Cigars by Chivas is about the experience first and about business second

Â?ItÂ?s a very pleasurable business,Â? Kamarian admits. Â?I bask my days meeting fresh people, having an enthusiastic time with the regulars and fuming close-grained cigars. It is a gross experience and lifestyle for which there is no substitute. A cigar is not just a cigar it is a tool of relaxation, atmosphere and pleasure.Â?

Philanthropically-minded, Kamarian is actively involved with the community in which his business operates. He has gifted to many noncommercial organizations including the Pasadena Police Department, the Pasadena Symphony, the Pasadena Holy Family Church, and Homenetmen Â? an Armenian youth group. Cigars by Chivas recently patronized and organised a golf tournament to benefit PasadenaÂ?s Huntington Hospital Â? a 525-bed community hospital proffering an afloat complement of perceptive medical care and community services.

In an additional gesture of generosity Kamarian helped Arbi Babaei pay for his MBA program at BurbankÂ?s Woodbury University. At the time, Babaei was the storeÂ?s universal manager Â? a position that gave complemented his scholarly experience with hands-on experience in a tangible business environment

Â?Working with Anto was a great way to apply the information I learned in my MBA program,Â? said Babaei, who recently bought Cozy Toes Nail Spa in Sherman Oaks, California. Â?His entrepreneurial spirit and grok business sense are skills you just canÂ?t larn from a book.Â?

Admirably, Kamarian doesnÂ?t give for the recognition Â? itÂ?s just what he is all about

Â?Giving back to my community is an important component to the Cigars by Chivas philosophy,Â? Kamarian explains. Â?I owe my success to the people who visit my store and supporting local causes is my way of giving thanks to those who have supported my business.Â?

Red JOBON Dual Flame Pipe and Cigar Lighter with Cigar Punch. This item is available for sale at www.thetobaccocellar.com

Cutting cigars is one of the most important parts of smoking a cigar. If you have a good, proper cut, you can rest assured that the smoke will flow freely and you will have a good experience after lighting up with your Lotus lighter. The choices of cutter are numerous, but you will quickly find that not all of the cutter types are created equal. The two most popular choices of cutter are the guillotine cutter and the bullet punch cutter. The guillotine cutter will give a clean cut clear across the cap of the cigar. The bullet punch, while it can be effective, works differently.

Some of the benefits of the bullet punch cutter are the compact size and the fact that most of them come with a key ring attachment so that you can carry them around with you in your pocket. You can even find some that are a combination lighter and hole punch. They are also easy to use; at least after you have had some practice.

Because the hole punch only creates one small hole, you will find that the smoke, when you puff on the cigar, is drawn straight through that little hole. This can cause a moisture and tar buildup that is unpleasant for some smokers. You should also be aware that these punch cutters don’t work on some types of cigars, such as the torpedo shaped cigars and cigars that are very large.

Still, they are convenient. Most of them come with key ring attachments, so that you can keep them on your keychain at all times. They are easy to carry, and you can find those that are a combination lighter and bullet punch. The cutters are available in a variety of locations online and off.

Most cigar smokers choose to use the guillotine cutter in most circumstances. You can get a clean cut each time you use them, and you can even find them in the cutter/lighter combinations that you would find with the punch cutters. You will be able to find both kinds of cutter at online retailers with a quick search.

When you begin smoking cigars, you are going to have to make a lot of choices. You are going to need to try several different types of cigar so that you can find the brand that suits you best, and you are going to need to find all of your accessories. A few of the accessories that you just can’t live without when you are a cigar aficionado include humidors, which will keep the moisture in the cigars, and a good ashtray to hold your ashes. You will also need to have lighters and cigar cutters. The good news is that you can find cutter and lighter combinations, and that should make choosing the right ones even easier. Some of the cutter types from which you will be able to choose include guillotine cutters and punch cutters.

One of the most popular types of cutter available is the punch cutter and lighter combination. People enjoy this cigar cutter lighter because they are able to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. They will be able to have a nice butane lighter to give their cigars an even light, and they will also have a cutter that can get their cigars ready to smoke. The convenience of having them both in one tool is nice as well.

First, you need to understand how the punch cutter works. You will find them easy to use, although it might take a few tries to get the hang of it. With a punch cutter, you simply place the cutter on the cap of the cigar and then use the punch. This will create a small hole in the cigar. This is where the smoke will come through. Because the hole is so small, you will find that it can cause moisture and tar to gather around the hole. You will also find that this type of cutter does not work with the larger cigars.

With the smaller holes from the punch cut, moisture and smoke can sometimes build up at the hole. This is something that many cigar smokers can’t abide. Also, they don’t work with large cigars. You might want to have both a punch cutter and a guillotine cutter so that you are always prepared no matter the type of cigar you have available.

Before choosing your type of cutter, weigh the pros and cons of each style and choose the one that suits your smoking habits the best. The punch cutter and lighter combo is great for those who want the convenience of having both tools in one convenient place.

The cigar smoking culture has been embedded in the American culture for over hundreds of years. If smoking a cigar is such an important event, then the accessories that help achieve it should be held with the same reverence. Cigar smoking accessories are important in the cigar smoking experience as they can affect the quality of the cigars and, as an aftereffect, the flavor and aroma of each cigar. One of the most important cigar accessories that one should always have is the cigar cutter.

A cigar cutter provides you a good, clean and smooth cigar cap each and every time; this is important because, if your cigar cut is not clean nor is it neat, then the flavor and the aroma of your cigar will be affected and your experience will be ruined. Not properly cutting a cigar with a quality cigar cutter and having a bad experience can have you missing out on one of the best and most relaxing hobbies in life.

Cigar cutters are available on the internet and local cigar shops. Cigar cutters are available in different designs and colors and, in some cases, they can be also be personalized to fit you. There are also cigar cutters that are multifunctional; some of them are key-chains and some of them come with cigar lighters too. There is a huge selection of brands and types of cigar cutters which can have the novice cigar smoker a bit confused as to which one to pick.

Whatever kind of cigar cutter you end up buying, what is important is that they perform well. Your cigar cutter needs to be able to cleanly cut your cigars. There are three types of cuts these different kinds of cigar cutters provide. They are the V Cut, the Hole Punch and the Straight Cut. This is where your personal choice lies, as the kind of cigar cutter you choose will depend on the kind of cut you want to have on your cigars. Keep in mind that the most common kind of cigar cutter available is the straight cutter.

Straight cuts come from guillotines which can have either a single or double blades. The double bladed guillotines are much more efficient as they provide cleaner and smoother cuts on the cigar. These are also the most convenient to carry around and it is also the cheapest kind of cigar cutters.
