Soft Flame vs Torch Lighter for Cigars
Houston Cigar Life

OK cigar lovers, experts and noobs… How do you light your cigar? Are you a traditionalist and prefer to use a match? Maybe you even go as far as using cedar matches or the ever so fancy cedar chip. Most of us limit ourselves to two forms of combustion. The regular Bic style lighter or the more potent jet style lighter. Now the question is, what is the best lighting option for your cigar? My vote is soft flame and here is why. Let’s start with overkill. Tobacco needs temperatures of about 450° Fahrenheit to combust and once the cherry forms, then temperatures reach about 1600° Fahrenheit ..read more

Helen Keller once said, “Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.”  In my darkest time, one cigar has prevailed as my trusty companion.  Ashton VSG.

Although that last sentence sounded like a bunch of corporate marketing mumbo, jumbo… I promise that is my own opinion, not paid for by anyone! I measure a cigar on its construction, visual appeal, flavor profile, draw and most importantly its consistency from cigar to cigar. My first Ashton VSG smo ..read more

H. Upmann is one of the oldest cigar labels in the industry. Herman Upmann, a German banker, opened a branch of his Upmann bank in Havana in the early 1840’s. From there he’d send Cuban cigars to his friends and family back home in Europe. After realizing the commercial opportunity present within the cigar trade, he opened a cigar factory towards the mid-1840’s and the H. Upmann brand was born. The cigar label itself won 7 major awards in between the late 1800’s and early 1900’s before H. Upmann’s cigar operation and bank went bankrupt. However, the tradition of the H. Upmann cigar lived on a ..read more

Recently while enjoying cigars with The Woodlands Cigar Club at Kirby’s Steak House, I received a tip from Jesse Wood, Associate Brand Ambassador for Glenfiddich. Johnnie Walker Black Label We had long ranging conversations on cigars and whisky and I told him that whenever I am out having a routine drink, I order Johnnie Walker Black with a splash of soda. While this isn’t my splurge drink, it is a serviceable one that’s readily available and reliable no matter where on the planet I am. Regardless of my justification, he still gave me the same unintentional ..read more

There’s never a dull moment in the Houston cigar community. So when I spoke to Daryl Pretlow about his new cigar lounge, Bayou City Cigars; I suppose it was naive of me to assume there wasn’t some juicy back story. Houston is a big city full of people who want to do big things, but not everyone is built to make the big moves. Case in point, before Daryl took over his current location on 1602 San Jacinto, he originally bought McCoy’s Fine Cigars in Downtown Houston.
