The Cigar Smoker's
FAQ
Not fancy but a great quick reference for everything you
need to know about cigars. If you have a question about cigars, you'll
likely find the answer here. Easy to follow question-and-answer format
allows quick access to answers. Very thorough compilation. Also contains
links to sources and information. Don't expect a lot of fluff and don't
worry, they won't bore you with a lot of questions about tongue and throat
cancer.
CigarFriendly.com
This site is a little cumbersome but it has some redeeming
features. Its best feature is its cigar listings/reviews. It also lists
upcoming cigar industry events and has a cigar-friendly directory of
resorts, restaurants and lounges (e.g., The Cuesta-Rey Cigar Bar at
Tropicana Field in St. Pete, Florida). Its Ask Dr. Smoke column answers
frequently asked questions about cigars, including such topics as the
best way to store cigars and how to revive a cigar gone bad.
Smoke Magazine
Another online magazine, but this is geared toward the
younger, hipper crowd as opposed to the Cigar Aficionado, which is geared
toward the more seasoned cigar smoker.
Cigar.com

site allows you to purchase not only cigars and cigar-related accessories,
but also cigar art prints and cigar-related books (through Amazon.com).
