There is no shortage of cheats in the market and therefore it is advisable to literate yourself a little about the basics of recognizing a good cigar so that you do not get cheated and can gift the person close to you a box of excellent quality cigars.

Drug store cigars are probably the cheapest and the worst types of cigars that you can find on the market, do not buy them as a gift as they are of poor quality, full of preservatives like glycerin or paper or both and more. If you want to choose among some of the best types of cigars that are within your range, then go to a reputed tobacconist or smoke shop. The reputed shops usually have a large enough display of decent and excellent cigars filled with nothing but tobacco, for you to choose from.

Now when it finally comes to choosing, you must put your sense organs to good effect in order to be able to select a perfect cigar.

Press the cigar lightly to make sure that it is neither spongy nor too tight, it should be just firm uniformly. Smell it a little also, a good cigar should smell strongly of tobacco and nothing much.

The rolling of a cigar is something that is very important as improper rolling will cause the cigar to be unpleasant to smoke. Notice the change in color of the tobacco to understand this. A sharp difference in the color of the tobacco within the same cigar will indicate that it is best to avoid the cigar altogether, but be sure that the color varies enough to discard it because a little difference may always be there. The wrapper of a cigar is something that you should notice too because a tight, even wrapper would indicate that the cigar inside is in good condition while a dry and stained wrapper may mean that the cigar inside has lost its quality.

Your friend will probably like a cigar that is quite broad if he is an old cigar aficionado as they are the preference of most experienced cigar lovers, but choose a long cigar if he has just started smoking cigars a little time ago. Follow these tips and you may end up buying the best box of cigars that the shop has to offer within your budget, even without any help from the experts.
