We’ve all been there. You’re in the plane, bus or subway and somebody near you is listening to music loud. It’s so loud that you can hear each word and every beat of that Taylor Swift song that you don’t want to hear. Now if only everybody had Coloud Boom Headphones. We wouldn’t have to worry about getting annoyed at accidentally hearing that lame playlist somebody programmed on to his or her mp3 player.

The Coloud Boom headphones are made with closed construction, so your music stays where it matters — next to you ear. It doesn’t leak out to the person next to you. On top of that these headphones are made with a super sturdy frame, so they can get thrown around in your bag or dropped on the floor without breaking into a gazillion pieces. They’re also made with a flat cable, so you don’t have to waste time untangling it. Best, of all, these headphones aren’t heavy, so it doesn’t feel like you have a helmet on your head when you wear them.

You can even use the Coloud Boom Headphones with your phone because all Coloud headphones come with a built-in microphone. Don’t want to pull your phone out of you bag or pocket? That’s not a problem either. They also come with a remote control! Also, they come in seven different color combinations, so you can pick your favorite.

So next time you’re in the market for new headphones, check the Coloud Boom Headphones out. The world won’t have to know when you’re listening to cheesy music you want to keep for yourself.

Where do cigars come from? A guide to the premium tobacco growing regions

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.
