If there’s one thing we here at TSL know, it’s that all cigars are not created equal. Of course not, you say. Obviously, we’re not talking about dime store Swisher Sweets that are generally used for, uh, other things. Even among fine cigars, you have to take the time to determine your priorities. Smoothness? Slow burning? Do you prefer machine rolled, or are you a purist, and you insist on hand rolled smokes?
