SOOTHING. RELAXING. A NATURAL TRANQUILISER

A recent study of the British Mental Health Foundation shows that 74% of UK adults experience discomfort due to high stress levels. In the fast-paced world we’re all living in, stress and anxiety seem to have gradually developed into a modern day plague. Besides being a treat for the senses, smoking Cuban Cigars can also be an excellent stress relieving method.

“CUBAN CIGARS CAN SERVE AS NATURAL TRANQUILLISERS”
THE PHYSICAL ACT – In most cases, elevated blood pressure is the result of high stress levels. Surprisingly, the process of puffing a cigar can significantly reduce a smoker’s anxiety. The answer lies in the simplicity of the smoking habit. To elaborate, the harmonious process of puffing a cigar, savouring its aromas and flavours can calm jangly nerves. It’s a ritual that allows smokers to disconnect from the chaotic world and lose themselves in the repetitiveness of the smoking habit. A puro that guarantees an anxiety-free experience, the La Gloria Cubana Invictos Cigar (Ex. Italia 2018) measures at 124 mm by a 50 ring gauge and produces a number of medium yet well-balanced flavours making it the ideal choice for a stress relieving smoke.
NICOTINE AS A CHEMICAL RELAXANT – Medically speaking, Cuban Cigars Online serve as the most effective natural tranquilisers. In particular, cigars supply the human body with nicotine, which is known as a great chemical relaxant. Going into further detail, the average puro contains somewhere between 100 to 200 mg of nicotine while an average cigarette has only 10 mg each. That been said, a smoker would need to smoke more than ten cigarettes to get the same amount of relaxant as they would typically get when smoking a fine Habano. A smoke full of strong yet smooth aromas, the Montecristo Especial No. 2 Cigar is capable of producing a fantastic bouquet of strong flavours – providing just the right amount of nicotine to be classified as a natural tranquiliser.

“CIGAR SMOKING INCREASES THE PRODUCTION OF DOPAMINE”
REDUCE RISKS OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE – Recent scientific studies have also demonstrated that cigars are capable of reducing the risks of Parkinson’s syndrome. The evidence of that research offers a very simple explanation. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information of the United States, cigar smoking increases the production of dopamine in the brain. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s syndrome result from low dopamine levels. Therefore, puffing a cigar like the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial for instance, can significantly lower a smoker’s chances to develop Parkinson’s syndrome.
THE PLEASURE AND LEISURE – The sweet joy of doing something enjoyable can rapidly reduce someone’s stress levels. Having said so, there could be no better way to overcome anxiety than to completely surrender to your one true guilty pleasure – smoking cigars.
