Make money by charging distributors a listing fee to advertise their services on your site .. Also make extra cash by introducing banner ads & text ads like google adwords.

To make the website really sticky for return visitors … I will suggest you add a forum that is focused on cigar discussions only. … Also make a session that features articles on cigars, various pictures, plantation pictures and so on. Try to make it interactive and fun for your visitors. ..
