Upmann Cigars & More

Does anyone know of any good cigars for sale online?  I have been looking around the web, but there are so many out there, I don’t know who to go with.  My boyfriend loves smoking cigars, and I know he is pretty specific about the ones that he wants.  I don’t know of a convenient store around us that sells them.  I have only seen cigars like swishers and black n milds, but I don’t see his brand. Other places that I have found them, they seem to be really expensive. My worry is that I will not be able to find these locally by his birthday. I am wondering if buying them online will be reasonable and will I get them shipped to me in a reasonable time. I have never bought cigars online before, so I am hoping that I don’t get burned. I still have a few weeks before his birthday, and really want to get his favorite cigars. He probably thinks that I don’t even know the kind that he smokes. And that would have been true a few days ago, but I snuck a look at his box and wrote it down when he was at work. I think this will be a terrific surprise if I am able to get them.  I don’t know why I am even doing it, because I hate the smell of them. But,  I have told him to quit many times and he just laughs at me.  I want him to be happy and I think if I can find his cigars for sale, this will be the best, most surprising gift he has gotten from me ever. I would appreciate any input.

White Owl Cigars have been around for many many years and I have smoked them for as long as I can remember. I found an article from July 1932 about the General Cigar company, which manufacturer’s White Owls. At the time, these machine made cigars were being sold at seven cents. And that price was a bit to high for cigar smokers of that day. The median price of a machine made was about 5 cents. Many people went to General to make them reduce their price down to five cents. Not only did they want the price reduced, but they didnot want the smoke to be changed at all . They wanted the same size and quality filler at a lower cost. White Owl cigars are made with the most costly filler that the US grows and is a quality cigar that some aficionado’s didn’t care paying one or two extra cents. Many managers of the company were not ready to modify the price, they would be making the lowest profit from the change and other corporations using scraps and damaged ends of tobacco would still be making a high profit margin, for less superior cigars. In the end, the decision was made to low the prices, but keeping the tradition of great long filler and over sized cigars. Once the reduction was put into effect, the company broke records for quick increase in consumption. They managed to do this with arranged production and vast output. I just wish they still only cost five cents per cigar, that would save me a lot of money, i think i would be alright with paying the seven cents too.
