The Storage of Cigars Wismilak

The Storage of Cigars

To keep cigars freshness and flavour, cigar should be stored in ideal places, a temperature of 67 to 73 degrees Fahrenheit and at humidity of 65 to 75 percent Many purist say 70-70, 70 degrees and 70% humidity. And the best place to store your fine cigars is in a humidor. A humidor is generally a wooden box designed specifically to store cigars. It allows the wood to expand with the humidity in it to keep the cigars fresh.

Humidors usually come with hydrometers and humidifiers, and sometimes temperature controller. If not, you can buy these separately. Or, you can replace them with higher quality devices of your choice. Even you have an expensive humidor that has self-regulating, you should monitor this humidor for proper humidity. You should add water to whatever humidifying element in this humidor, sometimes every few days in the middle of winter when heats on, or in dry desert climate.

To keep cigar flavor equable for along time, never put anything in the humidor except cigars. And if you have another prized cigars, or any cigars for that matter, try to separate them, as they will absorb each other's flavors overnight.

Storing cigars in a refrigerator is a bad idea, except a better storage system did not obtain. A refrigerator or freezer actually gets cold by pumping the warm air out. So if a cigar is supposed to be kept warm at 70F and maintain a humidity level of 70%, how would a freezer or refrigerator keep them fresh? They wouldn't .

Remember, Cigar should never be kept anywhere that's prone to growing mold and fungus. No matter what type of your cigar store, mold and fungus spores will conduct a search and destroy your cigar, because it is natural vegetable product. Another danger cigar's foe is the Tobacco Beetle. Although tobacco is usually fumigated, eggs can escape the fumigation process and lie dormant in the tobacco leaf.

Discard any cigar found in this condition, remove all cigars and then clean and aerate the humidor. Place undamaged cigars in a sealed plastic bag in the freezer for several days before properly thawing them and returning them to your humidor.

HISTORY OF DJARUM

HISTORY OF DJARUM

With over half a century of history behind it, Djarum has come a long way from its quiet beginnings on the streets of Kudus. Today Djarum has become a familiar icon in Indonesia thanks to our popular clove-and-tobacco cigarette products, which are familiar all over the archipelago. We are one of the largest cigarette manufacturers in Indonesia and have also established a strong international presence, providing satisfaction to customers daily.

Despite our success, Djarum remains firmly rooted in its hometown of Kudus. These roots help us to remember where we came from, and to keep in mind our obligations to society. As we have grown, so have our abilities to contribute: where once we helped the community of Kudus, today our corporate social
initiatives programs have a national focus and a global outlook.
jarum′s first-ever kretek workshop was established on April 21, 1951 by company founder Oei Wie Gwan in Kudus, Central Java. Just nine months prior, Oei Wie Gwan had purchased the brand and license to the name. Kudus happens to be the birthplace of kretek, upon which one of Indonesia′s most prominent industries would be built. Over the years, Djarum’s small cottage industry would flourish into an internationally known brand.

Named after the needle of a gramophone, Djarum began as a small 10-person operation on No. 28 Bitingan Baru Street (now No. 28 A.Yani Street), Kudus. The blending of the clove and tobacco ingredients was a simple manual process using minimal equipment. Oei himself could be found rolling kretek on the workshop floor when not promoting and selling Djarum kretek on the streets of Kudus. Djarum′s blend of hand-rolled kretek nonetheless differentiated itself by its consistent quality and taste and attracted a growing following.

Oei Wie Gwan passed away in 1963 but the company he built endures. Under the leadership and vision of Oei′s two sons Michael Bambang Hartono and Robert Budi Hartono, Djarum continued to thrive, expanding into one of the largest and most successful kretek company today.

PABRIK ROKOK HM.SAMPOERNA

Sejarah Sampoerna

Sejarah dan keberhasilan PT HM Sampoerna Tbk. ("Sampoerna") tidak terpisahkan dari sejarah keluarga Sampoerna sebagai pendirinya.
Pada tahun 1913, Liem Seeng Tee, seorang imigran asal Cina, mulai membuat dan menjual rokok kretek linting tangan di rumahnya di Surabaya, Indonesia. Perusahaan kecilnya tersebut merupakan salah satu perusahaan pertama yang memproduksi dan memasarkan rokok kretek maupun rokok putih.
Popularitas rokok kretek tumbuh dengan pesat. Pada awal 1930-an, Liem Seeng Tee mengganti nama keluarga sekaligus nama perusahaannya menjadi Sampoerna, yang berarti ”kesempurnaan”. Setelah usahanya berkembang cukup mapan, Liem Seeng Tee memindahkan tempat tinggal keluarga dan pabriknya ke sebuah kompleks bangunan yang terbengkalai di Surabaya yang kemudian direnovasi olehnya.
Bangunan tersebut kemudian juga dijadikan tempat tinggal keluarganya, dan hingga kini, bangunan yang dikenal sebagai Taman Sampoerna tersebut masih memproduksi kretek linting tangan. Bangunan tersebut kini juga meliputi sebuah museum yang mencatat sejarah keluarga Sampoerna dan usahanya, serta merupakan salah satu tujuan wisata utama di Surabaya
Generasi ketiga keluarga Sampoerna, Putera Sampoerna, mengambil alih kemudi perusahaan pada tahun 1978. Di bawah kendalinya, Sampoerna berkembang pesat dan menjadi perseroan publik pada tahun 1990 dengan struktur usaha modern, dan memulai masa investasi dan ekspansi. Selanjutnya Sampoerna berhasil memperkuat posisinya sebagai salah satu perusahaan terkemuka di Indonesia.
Keberhasilan Sampoerna menarik perhatian Philip Morris International Inc. (“PMI”), salah satu perusahaan rokok terkemuka di dunia. Akhirnya pada bulan Mei 2005, PT Philip Morris Indonesia, afiliasi dari PMI, mengakuisisi kepemilikan mayoritas atas Sampoerna.
Jajaran Direksi dan manajemen baru yang terdiri dari gabungan profesional Sampoerna dan PMI meneruskan kepemimpinan Perseroan dengan menciptakan sinergi operasional dengan PMI, sekaligus tetap menjaga tradisi dan warisan budaya Indonesia yang telah dimilikinya sejak hampir seabad lalu.

History of Tobaccos and History of Smooking.

Early years

Aztec women are handed flowers and smoking tubes before eating at a banquet,florentine codec 16th century.

Smoking's history dates back to as early as 5000–3000 BC when the agricultural product began to be cultivated in South America; consumption later evolved into burning the plant substance either by accident or with intent of exploring other means of consumption.The practice worked its way into shamanistic rituals.Many ancient civilisations — such as the Babylonians, the Indians, and the Chinese — burnt incense during religious rituals. The practice was later adopted by the Catholic and the Orthodox churches. Smoking in the Americas probably had its origins in the incense-burning ceremonies of shamans but was later adopted for pleasure or as a social too the smoking of tobacco and various hallucinogenic drugs was used to achieve trances and to come into contact with the spirit world.
Eastern North American tribes would carry large amounts of tobacco in pouches as a readily accepted trade item and would often smoke it in pipes, either in sacred ceremonies or to seal bargains. Adults as well as children enjoyed the practice.It was believed that tobacco was a gift from the Creator and that the exhaled tobacco smoke was capable of carrying one's thoughts and prayers to heaven
Apart from smoking, tobacco had a number of uses as medicine. As a pain killer it was used for earache and toothache and occasionally as a poultice. Smoking was said by the desert Indians to be a cure for colds, especially if the tobacco was mixed with the leaves of the small Desert Sage, Salvia Dorrii, or the root of Indian Balsam or Cough Root, Leptotaenia multifida, the addition of which was thought to be particularly good for asthma and tubbercollosis.

electronic cigarette

Electronic cigarette.

Main article: Electronic cigarette

Electronic cigarettes are nicotine delivery devices that closely resemble cigarettes but produce no smoke. The health effects of electronic cigarettes have been, and continue to be, heavily studied.These devices are illegal in some countries, such as Singapore. In other countries, these devices require government approval before these products can be sold, such as Canada and Denmark.

history cigarrette

History cigarrette in the World.
The earliest forms of cigarettes were largely indistinguishable from their predecessor, the cigar. Cigarettes have been attested in Central America around the 9th century in the form of reeds and smoking tubes. The maya and later the aztech smoked tobacco and various psychoactive drugs in religious rituals and frequently depicted priests and deities smoking on pottery and temple engravings. The cigarette and the cigar were the most common methods of smoking in the Caribbean, Mexico and Central and South America until recent times.
The South and Central American cigarette used various plant wrappers; when it was brought back to Spain, maize wrappers were introduced, and by the 17th century, fine paper. The resulting product was called papelate and is documented in goya's paintings La Cometa, La Merienda en el Manzanares, and El juego de la pelota a pala (18th century).
By 1830, the cigarette had crossed into France, where it received the name cigarette; and in 1845, the French state tobacco monopoly began manufacturing them.
In the English-speaking world, the use of tobacco in cigarette form became increasingly popular during and after the crimean wars, when British soldiers began emulating their ottoman turkish comrades and Russian enemies, who had begun rolling and smoking tobacco in strips of old newspaper for lack of proper cigar-rolling leaf^..This was helped by the development of tobaccos that are suitable for cigarette use, and by the development of the egyptian cigarette industry.

Francisco Goya's La Cometa, depicting a (foreground left) man smoking an early quasi-cigarette.

Cigarettes may have been initially used in a manner similar to pipes and cigars and not inhaled; for evidence, see the Lucky Strike ad campaign asking consumers "Do You Inhale?" from the 30's. As cigarette tobacco became milder and more acidic inhaling may have become more agreeable. On the other hand, moltke noticed in the 1830s (cf. Unter dem Halbmond) that Ottomans (and he himself) inhaled the turkish tobacco and latakia from their pipe^s(which are both initially sun-cured, acidic leaf varieties).
The widespread smoking of cigarettes in the Western world is largely a 20th century phenomenon – at the start of the century the per capita annual consumption in the USA was 54 cigarettes (with less than 0.5% of the population smoking more than 100 cigarettes per year), and consumption there peaked at 4,259 per capita in 1965. At that time about 50% of men and 33% of women smoked (defined as smoking more than 100 cigarettes per year)^. By 2000, consumption had fallen to 2,092 per capita, corresponding to about 30% of men and 22% of women smoking more than 100 cigarettes per year, and by 2006 per capita consumption had declined to 1,691^,implying that about 21% of the population smoked 100 cigarettes or more per year.
German doctors were the first to identify the link between smoking and lung cancer which led to the first anti tobacco movemenn nazi germay. During World War I and World War II, cigarettes were rationed to soldiers. During the Vietnam War, cigarettes were included with C ration meals. It was only in 1975 that the U.S. government quit putting cigarettes in military rations. During the second half of the 20th century, the adverse health effec tobacco smooking started to become widely known and text-only health warnings became commonplace on cigarette packets. Warnings became prevalent but unpopular, mainly due to the political influences held by tobacco growers. The United States has not yet implemented graphical cigarette warning labels, which are considered a more effective method to communicate to the public the dangers of cigarette smoking. the United Kingdom, France, Romania, Singapore and Turkey however, have both textual warnings and graphic visual images displaying, among other things, the damaging effects tobacco use has on the human body.
The cigarette has evolved much since its conception; for example, the thin bands that travel transverse to the "axis of smoking" (thus forming circles along the length of the cigarette) are alternate sections of thin and thick paper to facilitate effective burning when being drawn, and retard burning when at rest. Synthetic particulate filters remove some of the tar before it reaches the smoker.
