subject: The Coolest Golf Cigars In The World- The 2010 Edition [print this page] Its finally golf timeIts finally golf time. Thank God. Youve dusted off the ole clubs, rounded up your buddies, and shipped the kids off to summer camp. Youre free. But every good golfer knows (good being a very broad term here) that the cherry on top is always picking the right cigar.
You know the usual suspects: The Montecristo Whites, the Edge Lites, and pretty much anything by Davidoff. But this is 2010. Its a new year my friends and with every new year comes new opportunity. Ill be taking you through some new, more unique or boutique brands that you might not of considered for the course. Emersons cigars (www.emersonscigars.com) is known for carrying these types of cigars at an amazing price with incredible deals so Ill be focusing on cigars featured in their inventory. So grab a mental (or physical for you forgetful types) pen and take notes. If anything else, youre going to be able to impress your friends with my plethora of knowledge. But dont be too impressed- its my job. However the most important thing you need to take away from all this? Its gonna be a kick butt season.
Its always good to start off with a good, mild cigar. Some of you seasonal smokers may not have braved the winter to smoke a stogie and could be a little out of practice. Or, you just enjoy a smoother smoke. Who cares. You love mild, good for you. My pick this season is Acids line of cigars. I know what youre thinking, Infused cigars? Say WHA? These might track a little more medium than youre used to but its worth it. Acid is the brainchild of Jonathan Drew and every time Drew hears someone say, If it aint broke, dont fix it, he must smile a little inside. Thats because Jonathan Drew is one of those rare innovators that doesnt let mainstream traditionalists dictate and prevent change. Jonathan did something no one else seemed to be able to do- come up with something new. Acid by Drew Estate has perfected the idea of infusing premium cigars with amazing flavors. You know in order for this concept to work, it had to be executed without flaw. Acid did this through a cutting-edge technique in which he doesnt cure the tobacco in traditional curing barns but instead what Drew calls, Aroma Rooms. You might need top-secret clearance to get into one of these rooms, but word has it that its filled with botanicals, spices, oils, and herbs. These flavors gently infuse the premium, whole long-leaf filler Nicaraguan tobaccos and the combinations seem so seamless youd think this is the way cigars were supposed to have been designed all along. Acid truly is the rebirth of cigars. These cigars can be found at www.EmersonsCigars.com. Allow Emersons Cigars and Drew Estates to welcome you to the new world.
So maybe youre lookin for more flavor but youre not quite up for a full-bodied delight. Perhaps you could say you might just need a little more punch? (This is my uninspired attempt to segway into my next pick- Punch Uppercut.) Please dont let my lack of grammatical seamlessness turn you off. The Punch Uppercut is an exciting and beautiful cigar for the course. Imagine an election where everyone wins. Thats not just the stuff of political fairytale- its Uppercut by Punch! The chosen cigar from a national taste test called the Election promotion, Democrats and Republicans alike can all agree that this cigar is good for America. By masterfully blending the rich flavors of Punch with that sought-after spiciness of Nicaraguan tobacco, the Uppercut is an amazing medium-bodied addition to any ticket. A silky Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper finishes this unique cigar with palate-loving flavors as warming as Moms apple pie. The verdict? The Uppercut is a knock-out Punchespecially for the golf course.

Now for the fun of full bodied cigars. Its really hard to chose only one full-bodied cigar for 2010 because there have been so many amazing creations this year. However, I have to give it up to Kristoffs creator, Glen Case. He makes my list for the coolest cigars for the golf course with the Vengeance Maduro Ligero. This cigar just landed at Emersons Cigars a couple months ago and is flying off the shelves. Thats because Glen Case is back with a Vengeance. Literally. After the highly acclaimed success of his Kristoff line, Exclusive Cigars is back with the Vengeance Ligero Maduro Im definitely like a kid in a candy store. I recently got to meet Glen Case at one of the Superstar Cigar Events for Emersons Cigars brick and mortars. They have a bunch of big names this year so check the website. Glen gave me a little insight into the Vengeance and its just as beautiful as I thought it would be. An amazing Brazilian Maduro wrapper is combined with a Cuban-seed Honduran binder and Cuban-seed Dominican and Cuban-seed Honduran fillers which produces a fantastically awesome full-bodied smoke. This one-of-a-kind flavor profile consists of espresso, dried apricot, and chocolate with a perfect spicy/sweet finish . No matter what kind of day youre having on the course, this cigar will get you through it.
So thats all folks! Im super excited for the 2010 golf season. Beautiful weather, challenging courses, and fantastic cigars await us. In fact, Im going to stop wasting my time writing about it and get out there. I suggest you do the same. You can find all the cigars I described at www.EmersonsCigars.com or at one of their five brick and mortars in Hampton Roads, VA. Happy golfing!!
