At least to me, anyways. These truths are so easily applied to cigars (and most other products you can imagine for that matter) that each puff should be a wonderfully awe-inspiring delight. Well, maybe that’s a bit overboard. But you have to admit it is worth the thought every once in awhile. [...] [...] Fascinating. At least to me, anyways.

Many cigar promotional events include free literature on the brand, its history, and why they choose the tobaccos they do. One Macanudo event even included handing out samplers of free fumas composed of different types of tobacco they use in cigars. The whole idea is a good one.
