If you need something cool to put in your mouth, try Cuban cigars. By far the image of class and cool, they are unsurpassed in their flavor and texture, as well as their legend. Handmade in Cuba, these babies can often cost a good deal as they are illegal for purchase in the States due to the embargo between us and Cuba. Nevertheless, Cuban cigars are something you have to try at least once - or even an imitation of - to get the feel.

Although there are many places that cell cigars, there are not really too many places to find Cuban cigars. I've not seen authentic ones in my life too many times, though they are out there floating around. If you haven't ever tried cigars, period, then you should get warmed up (no pun in tended) before you go straight for the Cubans. Try out some regular cigars from the convenience store - get used to the flavors and the smoke - and you will be ready after a few weeks to get your hands (and lungs) dirty.
