The Art of Smoking a Cigar

There is something truly special about smoking a cigar. For many, it is an experience that is truly unique, and one that is enjoyed by people all over the world. From the scent of the tobacco to the ritual of lighting up, there is something about smoking a cigar that is both calming and invigorating. But smoking a cigar is not just about lighting up and puffing away. There is a real art to it, and if you want to get the most out of your cigar, there are a few things you need to know.

One of our competitive advantages at Marco V is our tobacco aging and fermenting process.   You can read out about process here:

The Marco V Black Sapphire uses the best tobacco in the world from a small, hidden farm in Jalapa, Nicaragua. The tobacco for the Black Sapphire is hand-selected in the curing barn by our master blender to ensure the absolute best quality smoke and flavor like no other. The Black Sapphire is a full-bodied, flat, rectangular pressed, torpedo.

Marco V is the entrepreneur, the engineer, the visionary, the late night notebook idea, the side hustler who has that extra drive and motivation to make a difference in the world.   Marco V is not the rich guy who has made it but the grinder trying to get there.  

We received a question on how we create the unique "Marco V" flavor that is common within our blends. The answer is in the blending of the unique tobaccos. We take a lot pride in how we create our unique blends. It all starts by using the best grade A tobacco from the best tobacco growing regions in the world.

From the seeds to the nine-foot-tall tobacco plants, every step is monitored by our Marco V's agricultural experts. Each tobacco leaf section produces a slightly different flavor, so leaves are harvested in small groups to precisely select the flavor of each part of the cigar.

From the occasional cigar smoker to the everyday cigar aficionado, people across the country are recognizing what we have been saying for the last 10 years.  Marco V Cigars are the best value in the industry.  

This has been a word of mouth movement.  No fancy sales teams, no big marketing budgets, and no expensive ads.  Just high quality cigars. 

Marco V Co. has brought a completely new category of wine to the industry. The goal was to enhance the cigar smoking experience by providing the perfect high quality wine while indulging in your favorite smoke.

We put an extremely high standard on quality.  Such a high standard that we guarantee the draw, burn, and construction on every stick.  Our aim is to provide you the highest quality cigar money can buy.

Our farm in La Canela lies near the River Mao just west of Santiago. La Canela is widely known in the cigar industry to produce the highest quality tobacco in the world. Not one leaf from this farm is used in any other cigar brand. Our plot of land is monitored by mist filled mountains in a location only accessible by horseback.
