You don’t have to go the roses route on Valentine’s Day. Tulips are another popular favorite and are said to convey feelings of romance due to the resemblance of a tulip bud with puckered lips ready to kiss. The 1-800-Flowers Sweetest Love Tulips is an elegant bouquet of pink and red tulips; available in 15 or 30 stems. The tulips are picked fresh and are long-lasting. You can also choose to add on a red fluted glass vase, a vanilla soy wax candle, and an assortment of Belgian chocolate truffles to really take your Valentine’s Day flowers to the next level.

It can be hard to justify spending a lot of money on fresh flowers that will only last a matter of days, especially if you’re on a budget. Roses are gorgeous and certainly convey the romantic love that characterizes Valentine’s Day, but real roses brown rather quickly and then just become a distant memory. The LovePop Handcrafted Paper Flowers: A Dozen Roses bundle may be a bit of a sidestep off the path of typical Valentine’s Day flowers, but it’s an everlasting statement of love.

The gift pack comes with two separate flower boxes, each containing six exquisite, handcrafted red roses made out of premium paper. The paper roses not only have the realistic look of regular Valentine’s Day roses but also the elegance as well. Each of the two boxes contains six stemmed red paper roses, three stemmed paper baby’s breath, three paper mint leaf stems, two paper eucalyptus stems, and a red ribbon to complete the arrangement. The handmade paper flowers are 13 inches tall. If you want to make a lasting impression and show a little creativity in your Valentine’s Day flower gift-giving game, it’s certainly a cool choice to check out.

Where do cigars come from? A guide to the premium tobacco growing regions
man smoking small cigar by engin-akyurt unsplash

Cigars are composed of various tobacco leaves, including fillers, a binder, and a wrapper on the outside. The tobacco that makes up those leaves is grown in a variety of regions worldwide and undergoes several processes to create the flavor and blend that is eventually rolled into a premium cigar. While many factors influence the result, mainly how the tobacco tastes when it's smoked, none are more important than its cultivation, growth, and harvest. Tobacco grown in Nicaragua will taste very different from tobacco grown in Cuba or even Indonesia. It has to do with the local climate, the soil and its contents, average sun exposure, and much more. But most cigars include a blend or mixture of tobacco leaves, sometimes from entirely different regions, like Nicaraguan fillers and an African Cameroon wrapper. So, when posing the question, "Where do cigars come from," it makes more sense to look at the regions where tobacco is grown.
The Big Five

Not all tobacco comes from the Big Five regions; however, a large majority of the tobacco leaves produced and sold, even to partners in the business, come from fairly localized tobacco growers in the following locations:
Cuba
Everyone has heard of Cuban cigars, Cuban tobacco, and the forbidden fruit, at least in the United States. Ever since the U.S. government activated an embargo against Cuban goods back in 1962, Cuban tobacco cannot be imported or sold in the country. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that Cuba is the birthplace of modern cigars and has inspired many of today's biggest tobacco producers in the world.
