Import Cigar Info & Humidor Seasoning
Unwind After a Long Day With a Cigar!
Celebrate your next birthday, anniversary or work accomplishment in style with cigars from the Smokes 4 Less Flagship store in Wappingers Falls, NY or any of our 12 locations throughout the Hudson Valley Area. Our cigar store carries cigars in a variety of sizes and flavor profiles.
We have multiple cigar lounges:
Inside of our Wappingers Superstore is a private membership only cigar lounge! Each member has their own humidor and comfortable recliner, multiple flat screen TVs, snacks, a kitchenette and more! To inquire about pricing for our private lounge stop by or call our Wappingers Superstore. There are limited seats available, and this lounge is not open to the public.
We do have public cigar lounges at our New Windsor, Raymond Ave and Apply Valley locations. Feel free to stop by any of those locations and pick out a cigar from our walk in humidors and sit down and enjoy!
If you don't see what you're looking for in our humidor let our staff know and they can custom request it just for you! All we need is your name & phone number, as well as the specific cigar (brand, leaf, size, etc) you're looking for and we will do our best to get it in for you. We will even give you a call when your product arrives to let you know!
Parts of a Cigar
- Filler: the tobacco leaves that make up the bulk of the cigar; the main ingredient
- Binder: the leaf that is wrapped around the filler
- Wrapper: the outer most leaf (the icing on the cake!); where the most flavor comes from
A Connecticut Shade wrapper has a very mellow taste, almost nutty. This wrapper is grown under cheese cloth in the shade. Examples: A. Fuente, Romeo y Juliet Reserve Real, Don Diego playboy, CAO, Ashton, Montesino, and Montecristo No. 2
The Cameroon wrapper is from Cameroon, Africa and very flavorful. Examples: Don Diego, CAO Cameroon, and H. Upmann
Maduro wrappers are very dark and have a rich taste; not overpowering, just RICH. This is a Connecticut Shade Wrapper that is fermented longer to achieve the dark color. Examples: CAO MX2 Extreme Maduro, Romeo y Juliet Reserve Maduro, LaGloria de Cubana, Macanudo Hampton Court, Onyx, LaPerla Habana, Acid Atom, Montesino Maduro, and Cuesta-Rey Maduro
The Long and the Short
- Length: from tip to tip; the bigger the number, the longer the cigar
- Ring: Gauge circumference; the bigger the number, the fatter the cigar
Size Examples:
- Robusto A popular size: 4 ½ x 5.
- Toro 6 x 50
- Corona 5 ½ x 43
- Churchill 7 ¼ x 48
- Lonsdale

Humidor Maintenance
The humidity level of the humidifier should be at 68 - 72 (hygrometer) NO less, NO more. In order to keep it at this level you must always keep the humidifiers filled with water and make sure the doors are always closed.
If the humidity level is too low, the cigars will get hard and will crack. If the humidity is too high the cigars will get soft and wont keep lit.
Sometimes, larva will form if humidity gets too close to 80. If this happens, it will ruin all the cigars in the humidor.
Also, room temperature should be maintained between 68 - 72
Understand the difference between MOLD and PLUME (or BLUME). Mold is generally dark (greenish) and will not rub off of the cigar wrapper. Mold is NOT good. Plume is the result of a crystallization process cigars go through (aging). The wrapper may have a fine layer of white colored crystals on it; this is a natural aging process.

Roll Your Own Tobacco Information:
While traditional cigarettes have their merits, there's nothing like hand-rolled cigarettes. Here's why rolling your own tobacco is better:
- You have more control. You can choose the tobacco that goes into your cigarettes and how much you want in them.
- You save money. Buying the supplies to roll your own cigarettes is more affordable than buying pre-made packs.
- You can verify the quality. Since you'll be buying the tobacco separately, you'll be able to inspect it for mold, mildew or foreign particles.
When you need roll-your-own tobacco products, come to Smokes 4 Less. We'll help you find everything you need to roll the perfect cigarette.
