Hi I'm Mike Choi

I've been in the cigar industry for a number of years, working with Cuban and New World Cigars. In that time I've had the opportunity to try thousands of smokes, to really understand what works and what doesn't.

Skull 77

These are not your typical light flavoured Costa Rican cigars, instead blending tobacco from 4 different countries. The cigars use the same blend for each vitola, and the band for each vitola has a little change to the Skull imagery that makes this brand stand out from the crowd.

Boveda

Every order sent out by Boutique Smokes comes “powered” by a Boveda bag. Boveda is the World leader in 2-way humidity control. We believe in sending the cigars with humidity control, just so the cigars arrive to you in the best condition and are smokeable straightaway.

The difference between Cuban and New World

The difference between Cuban and New World

Why did New World cigars emerge and why are they so different to their Cuban counterparts? The main catalyst was the Cuban Revolution instigated by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara in 1960 and the ensuing Cuban Embargo declared by John F. Kennedy in 1962. This not only displaced many cigar producers to Miami and the Dominican Republic as they fled Cuba, but also created a demand for cigars not blocked by the Cuban Embargo.

New to cigars or just to New World cigars?

Let’s start with, what are New World cigars? It’s a very broad and generic term which I call, any cigar brand not made in Cuba. They have been known as “non-Cubans” but, it is a term that I found quite negative and that using this term (subconsciously) made you think of these cigars as a lesser quality product. Instead, think of them as a different cigar proposition.

Boveda packs provide hassle-free maintenance of full-size humidors and Humidor Bags. Unlike distilled water and PG solutions with sponge/gel/crystals/beads that will impart unwanted flavours on your cigars, Boveda's reverse-osmosis membrane only releases pure water vapour and Boveda will never damage anything through direct contact. This is why we use Boveda products to maintain humidity for all of our stock, as well as included in each package sent out to you to ensure perfect humidification in transit. This larger size is perfect to go inside your humidor and 2 are recommended for every 50 cigars you have. Each Boveda pack comes individually cellophane wrapped to preserve its humidity. Simply open the cellophane and add to your humidor to start using.
