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:

It's bonfire season!    One of our favorite things to do in the Fall is to sit outside on a cool evening and enjoy a cigar around the bonfire with friends and family.

This month we are featuring our Marco V La Canela Lancero. This cigar is my go to cigar in the morning with a cup of coffee but also a fantastic cigar if you want to taste the sweetness of our our shade grown wrapper.

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.

Its hard to believe it is already March!   Time absolutely flies.  That is a great reminder to take time to enjoy a cigar.   Every March we head down to Marco Island, Florida to escape the winter.   Marco Island is a special place to us as that is where the inspiration for Marco V was born.   You can read about that special spot here:
