How to Choose the Right Cigars for Your Ritual

For those who know, rituals don't require explanation. For those seeking, this guide illuminates the path.

At Cloud Culture, every cigars on our shelves has passed third-party lab testing. We don't carry products we wouldn't use ourselves. Here's what you need to know.

What Makes Quality Cigars?

The difference between ordinary and exceptional comes down to three elements: sourcing, processing, and transparency. Lab-tested products with clear COAs (Certificates of Analysis) separate craft from commodity.

Key Things to Look For

  • Third-party lab testing - Every product should have accessible COA results
  • Transparency on sourcing - Know where ingredients originate
  • Clear dosage information - Especially important for edibles and concentrates
  • Reviews and reputation - Established brands with consistent quality

How to Choose

Your ritual is personal. Consider:

  • Desired effect - Relaxation, focus, energy, creativity
  • Timing - Daytime use, evening wind-down, or weekend exploration
  • Experience level - Start low if you're new
  • Format preference - Edible onset takes longer than inhaled products
