Tips on Repairing the Wrapper of a Cigar

September 28, 2010 Posted by admin

From time to time, one will come across a cigar which has a loose wrapper. This will inevitably result in the loss of some of the filler leaf and can cause a sort of chain reaction where the rest of the wrapper begins to come apart. The situation can be easily remedied.

First, forget any notions one may be harboring about wetting the wrapper with one’s tongue and sticking it back together in that fashion. This will not work. A glue must be used to stick the wrapper back together. The appropriate glue is available at just about any grocery store.

First and foremost, put the cigar back into the packaging to prevent the loss of any more filler material and to stop the wrapper from falling apart further up the barrel. Then, one must take a trip to the store. There is a product called pectin, a natural glue, which will enable the smoker to repair their stogie. Simply wetting the leaf and trying to reseal it will not work and it is necessary to use a glue to fix these problems.

The pectin will generally be found in the canning section of the grocery store. It may be advisable to just ask if one has no experience using it so that one doesn’t spend all their time hunting around the grocery store. This material is a powder. It is completely natural and is safe for consumption. It will add no flavor to the tobacco when used to reaffix the wrapper. The repair process is very easy.

The pectin must be mixed with water. It will take on a tacky character and, at that point, it’s time to affect repairs. Take a bit of the material and put in on the end of the fingers. Rub it on the loose portion of the wrapper. One may also place some on the surface to which the wrapper will be affixed but, generally, less is better. Fold the wrapper over to where it ought to be and hold it for a few seconds to let the pectin set. Carefully remove the fingers”remember that they will be a bit sticky”and confirm that the glue has fixed the problem. From there on, one can enjoy their cigar as they’d intended!

Basic Tips for the Cigar: What to Do & What Not to Do

September 25, 2010 Posted by admin

People have tryst with cigars, and more seriously with premium cigars, which are known for their quality and richness in taste. The amazing fact is that most of the cigar lovers love to go for brand, and they often love comparing their brand of Premium Cigars with that of premium quality cigs. Cigar lovers seriously feel that premium cigars are the matter of luxury and status as compared to cigs belonging to similar levels.

The important fact is why Premium Cigars are choicest option than the non Premium Cigars. Well, there are many reasons of choosing Premium Cigars, and the two foremost reasons include, Flavor and Taste. Given the choice of smoking a cigar, a smoker would relish the taste and flavor of Premium Cigars over any other type of cigar sold in the market.

Amidst all reasons for choosing Premium Cigars, listed below are few essential tips that would help a cigar smoker to get real cigar taste when smoking:

• Check out the wrapper or the binder of the premium cigars. It is essential for two important reasons. The wrapper made from tobacco leaves holds the nicotine content in a cigar bounded together, and second, it adds to cigar’s flavor. Therefore, make sure that you find that cigar’s tobacco leaf wrapper is made from fresh tobacco leaves. • When you buy Premium cigar, buy them right from a reputed cigar dealer, and this will ensure that you get best quality and tasty cigar to smoke. And, moreover, you don’t have to worry about the quality. • When you go for buying premium cigars, make sure that you buy a darker cigar and this is for one simple reason altogether. The darker the cigar’s wrapper, stronger will be its flavor. Keep in mind this particular formula while choosing from the line of Premium Cigars. • Make an appropriate cut before smoking a cigar. You can use any of the appropriate methods to cut the cigar. These appropriate methods include, knife, cigar scissors, V-cutter etc. Make sure that you cut the cigar from its head, to enjoy tastier puffs of premium cigars. • Lighting premium cigars in a particular way is as important as choosing them. When you light a cigar, make sure that the cigar’s end is evenly charred. This would allow the smoke to wallow around the mouth and give you the real taste and pleasurable smoking experience. • Hold the Premium cigars between your index finger and the thumb. This is the general style and often recommended. Don’t hold them like you hold cigs for many obvious reasons. • When you buy Premium Cigars, make sure that the length of ash of Premium Cigars should be long enough to give you a tasty smoking experience.

Keep these points clear when buying Premium Cigars to have an enjoyable and tasty cigar smoking experience.

Feng Shui For Fame – How to Create a Fame & Reputation Intention Box the Feng Shui Way

September 25, 2010 Posted by admin

Feng Shui For Fame

How to Create A Fame & Reputation Intention Box to Propel Your Career

An Intention Box is simply a holding place for your intentions. For instance, if you desire more wealth, you would create an Abundance intention box. If you desire a romantic relationship, a Love intention box.

In this economy, with job loss and job insecurity everywhere, I thought it would be nice to offer a way to help you stand out from the sea of applicants by creating a Fame & Reputation Intention Box. One of my feng shui teachers, Grand Master Thomas Lin-Yun, says that all Feng Shui cures are more powerful when they are created by your own hands with the power of your heart.

If you would like to take this cure a step farther and make it even more powerful, choose an auspicious date from the Chinese almanac.

Gather all your items the days before the date. Another powerful time would be to create your box on a new moon day.

Step 1: Analyze. The first step here is to do a little self analysis. How do you want to be seen? Where do you want to get noticed? What attributes within you will support this? For example, do you need more self confidence, more trust in your ability to make good decisions or the ability to take more risks? Write down all your insights, as this process not only helps you get more clear, but can bring some big aha! moments as well.

Step 2: Gather. Now gather the materials. Pick the items that have strong meaning for you: things that you love and hold power . Pick colors that are in alignment with the fame and reputation such as red, or orange, or hot pink. Think of this as a fire box to ignite your visibility.

Step 3: Prepare and Clear. Once you’ve completed Steps 1 and 2, prepare a space with a large work surface. Before you begin, take the smudge stick, and light the end, blowing it out so that it smokes. Use the stick like a wand and wave it over and all around the objects you have laid out on your work table. This will clear them and prepare them for your personal intentions. If you do not want the smoke in your home you can do this part outside. If you do not like sage you can choose a type of incense that appeals to you, and if you are sensitive to all smoke items, you can set your items in a bowl of salt overnight or in the sun for 24 hours.

Now that everything is clean, cleared, and prepared, close your eyes and take a deep breath. See the goal that you have set for yourself. See your intentions. See them going into these items and into this box. Once you feel grounded and ready, open your eyes and begin.

Step 4: Put It All Together. First paint the box (inside and out) with the color or colors you have chosen. You may need to do a few coats to cover up any writing on the box. The writing can also be covered up later by gluing beads, written words, pictures, or really anything. Just use your imagination. As you paint, be mindful of your reputation and visibility, and paint it into your box. You will have to let the box dry in between coats.

Now that the box is painted and dried, you can begin to design the box by placing objects where they feel drawn to be. Arrange and re-arrange them as many times as you want. It is a process, so have fun with it. You will eventually want to cut your photograph into a shape you like and design the inside cover of the lid starting with your picture in the center. Later you will glue it there, but before you do, design how you want it to look. You may want to glue other pictures down first and then glue your photo over it, or glue feathers down first and so on. Feng Shui For Fame

A good idea is to print out your intention as a statement and glue that somewhere in your box. Once you know where you want things to belong, begin to glue the items into and onto your box, being mindful of your goal throughout the process. We also recommend you put something on the inside bottom of your box that is fireproof, because you will be setting a tea light candle here to light later. You could use glass, ceramic tiles, sand, rocks, and so on. Or, once the box is finished you could find a clear piece of glass or a small tea light candle holder to set in the box, if you don’t want to glue something permanently.

Be patient; this is one of the more lengthy Feng Shui remedies. It may take a few days or even a week or more to collect and prepare everything, and that’s OK. Take solace in the fact that it is beginning to work its magic from the moment you start the process.

Step 5: Activate It. All done? Great! Now that you have completed your Intention Box, set it in the Fame and Reputation area of your bedroom, study or office space (from the entrance door, this would be the back middle of your room or home). For 9 or 27 consecutive days set a tea light candle on the fire-safe bottom of your box and light it while focusing or meditating on your intention. See this light as a symbol of your personal light shining out into the world yielding positive results for your career and manifesting the end result you seek. (As a safety precaution, please do not leave the candle unattended.)

MATERIALS LIST FOR INTENTION BOX

A picture of you. It needs to be a happy, current picture. (If you don’t have one, take one!)

Paints: Acrylic, or extra house paints you have around the house.

Creative stuff: Beads, rocks, feathers, tokens, coins, pictures that are symbolic of how you want to be seen, like a tree signifying wisdom, or a large sun meaning powerful energy, or a warrior meaning courage and strength. Pick items that speak to you personally and connect to your fame and reputation intention. Look through magazines, old cards, keepsakes and so on. Sometimes we are not even sure what we want. Find out. If any of the items are dirty, or dusty, clean them.

Paint brushes

How to pick the perfect cigar

September 25, 2010 Posted by admin

Men love a quality cigar. Cubans have always been the most popular, but they’re extremely hard to come by. However, there are a handful of US based companies that sell premium hand rolled cigars. But which are the best and how do you select the best quality cigar? Here are a few tips for selecting a premium stogie:

The body
The first thing to consider is what type of bodied cigar you are looking for. From mild or medium to full, the overall strength should be tasty while not overwhelming on your palate.

The size
The next thing to consider is size. The size of the cigar has some effect on the flavor, but should be factored in from a time standpoint more than anything. For example, a cigar for the golf course can be up to seven inches and be perfect because you will have a couple of hours to work your way through it. However, if you were short on time, a five-inch cigar with a smaller diameter would suit you more for a quick smoke after lunch.

When discussing cigar sizes, two things are taken into consideration. The first is the length, which is always in inches, and the second is the “ring,” which is the measurement of the diameter. The “ring” unit of measurement refers to 1/60th of an inch. For instance, a corona that is typically 5.5 x 42 means that the cigar measures 5.5 inches in length and 42/60ths of an inch in diameter.

The rating
Further, whenever you are reading or discussing cigars, a cigar rating (0 – 100) will most definitely come up in the conversation. This rating is a system that was designed and is used by Cigar Aficionado magazine. So before you head out to a cigar shop, find out how to select a quality stogy.

Rating System:

Below 70- Lowest Quality

70-79- Average to decent quality

80-89- Very good to excellent

90-94- Outstanding

94-100 Classic Quality
