NH Cigars Staff Picks & Reviews
Meet the people behind NH Cigars. Our staff is made up of experienced cigar smokers who know the brands, blends, sizes, and flavor profiles we sell because we smoke them ourselves. Since 2004, we have helped beginners, everyday smokers, and longtime collectors find cigars that match their taste, preferred strength, and budget. Whether you are shopping in our Manchester, New Hampshire store or ordering online, our team is here to offer straightforward advice without the pressure.
Our staff reviews are based on real smoking experiences, not copied manufacturer descriptions. We look at flavor, construction, draw, burn, strength, value, and how the cigar develops from start to finish. You will find honest opinions, tasting notes, personal ratings, and recommendations designed to help you buy with confidence. Every palate is different, but our goal is simple: give customers useful information from people who genuinely know and enjoy premium cigars.
