The Coolest Golf Cigars in the World- The 2010 edition


It's finally golf time. Thank God. You've dusted off the ‘ole clubs, rounded up your buddies, and shipped the kids off to summer camp. You're 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. It's a new year my friends and with every new year comes new opportunity. I'll be taking you through some new, more unique or "boutique brands" that you might not of considered for the course. Emerson's cigars (www.emersonscigars.com) is known for carrying these types of cigars at an amazing price with incredible deals so I'll 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, you're going to be able to impress your friends with my plethora of knowledge. But don't be too impressed- it's my job. However the most important thing you need to take away from all this? It's gonna be a kick butt season.



It's 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 Acid's line of cigars. I know what you're thinking, "Infused cigars? Say WHA?" These might track a little more medium than you're used to but it's worth it. Acid is the brainchild of Jonathan Drew and every time Drew hears someone say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it, " he must smile a little inside. That's because Jonathan Drew is one of those rare innovators that doesn't 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 doesn't 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 it's 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 you'd 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 Emerson's Cigars and Drew Estates to welcome you to the new world.



So maybe you're lookin' for more flavor but you're 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 don't 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. That's not just the stuff of political fairytale- it's 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 Mom's apple pie. The verdict? The Uppercut is a knock-out Punch…especially for the golf course. Check out www.EmersonsCigars.com for pricing.



Now for the fun of full bodied cigars. It's 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 Kristoff's 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 Emerson's Cigars a couple months ago and is flying off the shelves. That's 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 I'm definitely like a kid in a candy store. I recently got to meet Glen Case at one of the Superstar Cigar Events for Emerson's 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 it's 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 you're having on the course, this cigar will get you through it.



So that's all folks! I'm super excited for the 2010 golf season. Beautiful weather, challenging courses, and fantastic cigars await us. In fact, I'm 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!!
