Trying a cigar to determine its benefits in formal tastings is one of the actions we enjoy most in Smoking Seven. Experiencing these sensations that allows us to capture what is perceived through the organs of several of our senses (taste, sight, smell, and touch) and then manifest and share these experiences and impressions for the benefit of all – it is something of utmost importance for our members; which is why we do and share them.
