Tip of the Month

This month's cigar tip comes to us from puro4pauli, a Village Idiot and great guy. Judging from his helpful hint I can also assume he's a pretty resourceful fellow as well. This is a great way to cut your cigar if you're in a bind and have no cutter on you(AND if you're not one of those 'bite-and-spit' savages!). Thanks, pauli!

"Forgot your cutter and don't like to bite? I always carry a Vector Parker Pen and it makes a great cigar punch. Most any steel barrell pen will do. I disassemble the pen and the threaded male end is tapered and sharp enough to punch a clean hole in the cap. Then I just blow out or pick out the cap and re-assemble."

Keep Track of the Cigars You Smoke

Keeping some sort of journal or log of your cigars is a good idea for any smoker, especially if you're new to the cigar world. I promise you, you will not remember the name of the great cigar your buddy gave you at the bar! Even if you just save the cigar band you'll do yourself a great service the next time you want to smoke that same cigar.

The BEST way to catalog your smoking preferences is to use The Don Martello Cigar Smoker's Journal.
