The Basics of Cigar
Smoking
When anyone first begins to smoke cigars there are a few things
they usually need to be told. Since things like lighting a cigar
is not the same as lighting a cigarette and taking a drag from a
cigar differs also. Then there are the ashes that you keep, unlike
on a cigarette that you want to be constantly getting rid of. Here
are a few steps and tips so you are familiar with how to smoke and
even enjoy a cigar. Because oddly enough there is a proper way to
enjoy a cigar
1. Lighting a cigar can be a little trickier and take a
little longer than lighting a cigarette. You have to light it
properly to be able to smoke it properly and get the full flavor.
Using a cigar clipper, clip the edge off the end of the cigar. The
rounded or pointed end, depending on the cigar. Once clipped,
light with a torch lighter, not a regular cigarette lighter. These
produce a nasty smell due to the lighter fluid and the fact they
are not meant to be on for so long. A torch lighter will stay lit
and give you enough time to light your cigar. When you’re lighting
the cigar you will want to take puffs on the cigar, but also turn
the cigar in your mouth at the same time. This produces an even
area that has been lit so that the cigar does not burn unevenly,
like down the center or down one side. This happening can ruin a
very good cigar and once it starts to happen it is very hard to
stop.
2. While smoking the cigar is becoming shorter and you may
be wondering when to put it out. This depends on the cigar itself.
There are some cigar smokers that always leave two inches left,
however that is a lot of cigar that is being wasted possibly and
if it has not begun to taste bitter, than go ahead and keep
smoking it. How far you smoke your cigar are personal preference
and the taste of the cigar itself. If it still tastes good than
keep going. Once it has lost its flavor and is bitter or sour,
then put it out. The only real problem with smoking all the way
down is that you can burn your fingers trying to hold it, if
anything that is when you should stop. When you can no longer hold
your cigar and/or your fingers are being burned. Now that is
definitely no longer enjoyable to smoke.
3. The ashes can be a touchy subject with some cigar
smokers. Some swear you have to keep the ashes going to really
enjoy the flavor, while others will let them fall off in the
ashtray. Again, this is more about personal preference than
actually rule to the ashes. Try both ways and see which you
prefer.
4. Relaxing and enjoying a fine cigar is what it is all
about. Making sure there is no wind so you can fully smell the
aroma and sitting back outside or in a cigar bar and enjoying your
cigar is what is all about. So, never let what others say effect
you, smoke the cigar in the way that you most enjoy.
Cigar smoking is not difficult and once you have learned these few
basic techniques and tips, it will become all the more enjoyable
for you. Once you start smoking cigars many of these tips become
routine like anything else. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy your
cigar.
