It’s incredible to see how aware we have become as a people. With the advent of the internet people are more and more informed on an ever growing number of topics. Never, in the history of our civilization has information been so readily available and it’s starting to show in our decisions making processes. How many of you pull out your cellphones and do a little on the spot research prior to a big purchase? Who hasn’t paused a moment to check online reviews before pulling the trigger on that new TV or car? Heck, I’ve even compared cans of tomatoes in the grocery store! In every facet of our lives we’re making smarter decisions and nowhere is that more evident than in the world of e-cigarettes.
A community that is slowly doing away with one of the oldest and most costly public health hazard the Western World has ever known. I speak of course of the tobacco industry which is responsible for an unfathomable amount of human loss and suffering. That’s why it has always come as a great shock to me that while we’ve been very quick to adopt E-cigarettes the progress on E-Cigars has been painfully slow. Only now are we really starting to see some quality products and some emerging front-runners in the curiously untapped market. The margin of error for e-cigars is notoriously high. As a cigarette smoker you’re smoking for the physical need to smoke, it’s little more than a physical and psychological dependence.
The scenario for smoking a cigar is one that runs quite contrary to that. Cigars are meant to be an experience, one to be savored and cherished. Think of how cigars are associated with celebration while cigarettes are more associated to nervousness or frustration. As such, a special onus needs to be set on vapor quality and flavour along with the appearance of the product. I must say, the modern day products are amazingly similar in look to their traditional counterparts and could fool even cigar aficionados from afar. Today we take a look at some of our favorite e-cigars and we promise we will find you a good alternative so you can start enjoying those stogies in public, at your poker games, or after a nice meal again!
Royale Premium Disposable Electronic Cigar

This e-cigar is truly a work of art in terms of recreating the look and feel of a premium cigar. The rolled outer part simply feels so much more authentic than those with a simple cigar print that it’s hard to ignore. This is really top quality and the only one we feel is on par with the top competitors in terms of look and feel. The Royale smokeless electronic cigar also comes in beautiful packaging that, while not quite as elegant as the Marcello, is still beautiful. This unit would certainly make a beautiful gift to any cigar fan. Like the top rated smokeless cigars available, this is a disposable unit and retails for $29.99.
The CUVANA Disposable E-Cigar
Price: $29.95
Cuvana is the current leader in the world of e-cigars and it’s not hard to see why. As soon as you first hold it you’ll appreciate just how startling close this is to the real thing. This e-cigar not only looks but feels authentic as they recreate that authentic hand rolled feel with an outer wrapping that mimics a tobacco leaf. The Cuvana is a single use unit which retails for $29.95 and is available in various concentrations of nicotine ranging from 0 to 18mg solution. Each cigar is said to produce 1,800 puffs! To put it simply, we can’t say enough good things about this smokeless cigar. This is definitely our favorite though there are many good alternatives right behind it.
The VAPOR ZEUS Refillable Electronic Cigar

The Vapor Zeus is another device that functions very well though I must admit that it leaves a little bit to be desired in terms of esthetics. The Vapor Zeus is longer and more slender than the other cigars on this list and while it looks ok from afar it certainly looks distinctly like an electronic device up close. With that said, the performance is top notch and produces a good, albeit thinner, vapor than some of the others. This is for those of you who enjoy a smoother cigar. This is a rechargeable unit which makes it significantly more expensive than the disposables on the list at 149.95. We found that to be pricey considering replacement cartridges cost around $25 or roughly five dollars less than a replacement disposable cigar. However, for regular uses that will smoke the equivalent of 30 e-liquid packs will have made back the $150 investment (before tax and shipping) on the starter pack.
Maracello Rechargeable E-Cigar
Price: $89.95
Coupon Codes: Copy & Paste At Checkout – ” refillpack “ for $10 refills

The Maracello is another rechargeable Cigar that comes in very elegant looking packaging. Honestly, we were really impressed; this is the kit to pick for a present in terms of presentation. The Maracello also looks the part quite well but we felt didn’t feel quite as authentic as the Cuvana. The starter pack is significantly cheaper than the Vapor Zeus at $89.95 while refill cartridges are just $19.95. This is a legitimate contender for a cost saver over the disposables. The packaging creates high expectations and the unit definitely delivers as it produces a rich and tasty vapor which just oozes luxury. This is our top pick for a gift or for the cigar aficionado. The one hiccup to this product is that they currently only offer the full nicotine solution which means it’s not a good choice for those of you looking to wean yourself off of nicotine.
The Apollo Disposable E-Cigar
Price: $13.95
Coupon Codes: Copy & Paste At Checkout – ” campus10 “ for 10% or ” campus05 “ for 5% discount.
The Apollo smokeless cigar is the final product and is a suitable analogue to a real cigar. While the exterior lacks the polish of some of the better disposables; users may appreciate the lower price tag of just $13.95. This is a good place to start if you just want to try it out but keep in mind that this price comes with a few caveats. The unit only produces about 1,400 puffs of good tasting vapor out of their rated 1,500. Compared to the bigger units which hover around the 1,600 to 1,800 mark, it still holds its own. The vapor is also noticeably thinner than the more expensive models though it is still quite satisfying. All in all this is a very respectable middle of the pack device. Additionally to only costing $13.95, if you buy 5 e-cigars at once, make sure to put a 6th one in your basket and it will be FREE!
