5 Things Every Cigar Smoker Should Know

The comforting world of cigars can sometimes seem bogged down by endless choices, confusing information and opinions posing as fact. It can be difficult, even for a longtime smoker.

1. Cigars Are a Natural and Handmade Product

Buzzwords like “natural” and “Handmade” are overused in today’s speech, but handmade cigars have truly earned the right to flaunt these credentials. They are made of one thing -pure, unadulterated tobacco. Not a single leaf is chemically treated or artificially altered for taste.

How To Light A Cigar

Lighting a cigar is not like lighting the tip of a cigarette or the wick of a candle-it takes longer. In other words, patience is important, especially when you are starting.

A properly lit cigar is important because it means all the ingredients (wrapper, binder and filler) will be constantly lit, thus imparting the flavours of the mix as the maker intended them to be experienced.

Also, you won’t be fighting an uneven burn while you’re smoking, which can add trouble to a time that should be relaxing.
