B&B Tobacconists have tried very, very hard over the past several years to improve our cigar line for our customers. Lines have come and go and there will still be some change in the near future BUT for the most part we now offer the best selection of cigars we have ever had.
Mike and Jeff have completely filled the humidor room with top quality long filler, hand rolled sticks. So much so that they have purchased and filled two very large free standing wall humidors. You have to see it to believe it! They are “THE MAN” when cigars are mentioned at the shop!
Cigar preference is a very personal matter. But we hear a lot of questions each week in the shop concerning strength and taste. Mike and Jeff have provided the following strength rating for your assistance. Taste is so difficult to rate that we will leave that to individual palates.
The boys want to mention a recurring misconception: darker wrappers are stronger than lighter wrappers. This is not generally true. The wrapper shade is the result of the curing and aging process. Darker doesn’t necessarily mean stronger.
They also want to mention that it is true that larger cigars tend to draw better and the taste tends to be fuller than the smaller ring sizes.
______________________________
Cigar Ratings here are based on the general preferences of Mike and Jeff. Keep in mind that Mike prefers a stronger cigar and Jeff prefers a milder smoke.
The ratings are as follows: Mild 1 2 3 Medium 4 5 6 Full bodied 7 8 9
