Whether you sell or buy cigars, there are ways to do it better. You can make the cigar more enjoyable for yourself or for your customers. Clean air and cigars don’t seem to belong in the same sentence, at least not in a positive way. Truth be told, clean air makes a cigar more enjoyable. Cigar forums are filled with accounts of how much nicer a cigar is outside. Why is that? The clean air allows you or your customers to enjoy the cigar more fully. Every cigar has its own complex mix of body, flavor and strength. Clean air flowing into your cigar allows it to exhibit its own unique combination of characteristics. The incoming air needs to be free from smoke and also its odor.
Remove More Than Smoke.
Smoke Eaters do a great job of removing the smoke from a room. To truly enhance the cigar experience you have to remove the odor of the smoke. In a smoking venue like a cigar lounge removing the smoke odor allows each individual to more fully savor the cigar he or she is smoking. In the home smoking room removing the odor serves 2 purposes. One, you will be able to more fully enjoy that expensive cigar you bought. Two, other people in the house will not smell your great cigar, and likely allow you a much greater enjoyment level. Cigar smoking does not have to be a guilty pleasure if others are not inconvenienced.
LakeAir makes a line of odor control air purifiers. Each of these air purifiers has an emphasis on removing odor. While they remove more than smoke odors they do a particularly good job on smoke odor. This is accomplished by using high grade virgin activated charcoal made form coconut shells. Our commercial units incorporate several individual activated carbon filters to increase odor removal effectiveness.
The Money side of Clean Air and Cigars
Cigars can be bought at many different price points. Cigars that cost more are usually those that are better constructed and have subtleties in flavor. They likely have a fuller body and a consistent strength. Fresh and odor free air will allow the qualities of cigar to be noticed. When you combine clean air and cigars, your customer can taste the quality; he will be much more likely to purchase the featured cigar. You sell many quality cigars. Let them rise to the top of your shop’s sales. Don’t allow dirty smelling air to put all cigars on the same level.
For the consumer, it makes no sense to spend extra money on a fancy cigar if you can’t taste the difference. If you want to fully enjoy your cigar, smoke it in an environment that enhances your enjoyment. With an odor controlling air purifier you can savor your cigar. You don’t need to smoke it quickly so the odor doesn’t escape into the entire home. With a LakeAir Maxum in your smoking room, you can enjoy a cigar with friends.
