It’s September and it’s time for another contest. Once again, it is generously sponsored by Duque Cigars. Thomas Hunter himself e-mailed us with the contest idea, how cool is that?

As usual, the contest is very easy to enter and it’s quite creative. All you have to do is browse the selection offered at the Duque Cigars website and build your own sampler (you can select from both from singles and boxes) of your favorite cigars. Post your sampler in the comments area below. The number of cigars in the sampler is up to you. On the 1st of October, we will randomly choose a sampler and its author will get the sampler absolutely free! It’s as easy as it can get. Head over to DuqueCigars.com and build your sampler! And, of course, subscribe to the RSS to be up to date.

Note: you must be over 18 years old to enter the contest.

PS You can use the code ‘CigarInspector‘ to get a 5% discount on all orders at Duque Cigars.

I was very surprised to discover that this classic has never been reviewed here at CigarInspector.com. In this post, I will try to make a summary of my smoking experiences with Cohiba Robustos from different boxes and with different age on them as this is one of the cigars that I’m the most familiar with.

H. Upmann Magnum 46 has definitely sealed its place in my Humidor. This is a very classy cigar, with only one drawback that I could find. Overall, though, an excellent smoke.

Heather from Fumee World sent me a press-release about a survey conducted to gain a better understanding of female cigar consumers. It was created and conducted by Cigar Research and The Association for Women Cigar Smokers. There are some interesting facts, such as:

• Average female smoker smokes roughly one cigar per week
• Women are indifferent to box, band or label design and prefer purchasing their cigars online
• When smoking a cigar, women feel “powerful”, “attractive”, “strong”, “fun” and “rebellious”, whereas the vast majority of male smokers feel “peaceful”

You can download the results of the survey here.

10 weeks ago, we started publishing articles in the Stellar Stogies series by Karen. 10 major cigar brands were covered and we hope that it was a pleasant and insightful read for all of you. If you missed some of the articles, we had put together all the links in this post. Enjoy!

• Arturo Fuente
• Bolivar
• Cohiba
• Davidoff
• Hoyo de Monterrey
• Macanudo
• Montecristo
• Padron
• Partagas
• Romeo y Julieta

As there have recently been (and there’s more to come) a few wine-related posts on this blog, I would like to have readers’ opinion - should we write about other topics, not directly related to cigars, such as wine (this is something I am particularly interested in) and other drinks (rum, cognac, coffee)?

Please use the poll below and feel free to post your comments in the comments section. Thanks!
