How to Taste a Cigar So You Can Pick Up Its Notes & Flavors 🍂 Step 1 - Use a Flavor Wheel: A cigar flavor wheel can help you identify and articulate what you’re tasting. It might include categories like wood, spices, fruits, and earth. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the taste here & practice regularly. Step 2 - Take note of what you can taste during the three phases of the cigar: First Third (The Beginning): Pay attention as the cigar begins to develop its profile. Initial flavors might be more pronounced and give you clues about the rest of the smoke. Second Third (The Heart): This is often where the most complexity shows. Allow the smoke to linger in your mouth. Try to detect different flavors – floral, earthy, spicy, nutty, or even specific tastes like chocolate, coffee, leather, or wood. Final Third (The Conclusion): As the cigar finishes, the flavors may deepen or change. This part might reveal stronger, more robust flavors.

Unlike the unregulated market, dispensaries offer products that are tested, compliant, and consistent in their THC content. This not only ensures a safer consumer experience but also supports the legal cannabis industry committed to high standards. Why risk the unknown? Choose quality, safety, and reliability every time with dispensary-bought cannabis. Let's advocate for more informed consumer choices and support regulations that emphasize these benefits.

Research shows that repeat customers tend to spend 67% more than first-time buyers. So how do you turn new customers into loyal ones? Here's a quick guide: 1. Share Your Values: Customers are more likely to connect with brands that share their values. Share your story, support a cause, and be genuine. It's not just about cigars; it's about building a community. 2. Send Personalized Emails: Collect email addresses to engage customers. Use a CRM or email marketing platform to automate personalized messages, such as welcome emails and exclusive offers. 3. Build Trust and Credibility: Be honest about your products and services. Clearly outline your policies, and resolve any issues quickly and fairly. A transparent and reliable approach will keep customers coming back. 4. Be Active on Social Media: Interact with customers on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Answer questions, engage in conversations, and share new product announcements. 5. Offer Superior Customer Support: Respond promptly to customer inquiries and feedback. Show that you care by resolving issues and maintaining open communication. 6.

Saker Properties expanded their ownership of several ShopRite stores throughout Ocean & Monmouth counties by acquiring the Manahawkin Commons Shopping Center, this past December, for $36.5 million. This acquisition includes the Manahawkin ShopRite located at Stafford Square Mall and extends Saker's ownership to other ShopRite stores in Ocean County that were previously owned by Perlmutter, purchased in 2021. These include locations in Toms River, Lacey, Waretown, Manchester, Jackson, and Bayville. Currently, Manahawkin Commons has multiple vacant spaces, notably the large Kmart store that shut down in 2017. The future plans for the retail center by Saker have not been disclosed, as no official proposals have been filed with the Stafford planning board. Previously, there were discussions about filling the vacancies with major retailers like Burlington Coat Factory, Old Navy, and Ross Dress for Less. Manahawkin Commons continues to house several other tenants, including TJ Maxx/Home Goods, Regal Cinemas 10, Michael's, and Famous Footwear.
