Tips for Making Your Cigar Smoking More Enjoyable

To gain the most enjoyable experience from smoking your cigar, follow these tips.

Minimize inhaled smoke

Many people do not feel they can get cancer from smoking a cigar because they are inhaled. However, this is not true. When smoking a cigar, some of the tobacco will get into the lungs, not matter how much you try to avoid it. All you can do is try to make sure your do not inhale and decrease the number of cigars that are smoked.

Aging Your Cigar

Aging a cigar improves its taste. Keep in the right humidor to preserve the cigar's quality and pleasure.

Better not put it there

If you do not finish your cigar, do not put it back in the humidor with the fresher cigars. The exposure of a partially smoked cigar to air could make the fresh taste of the cigars in the humidor.

People usually drink while smoking their favorite cigar. It is best to not choose a strong drink that will overpower the taste of your cigar. The goal is to enjoy both.

Use a Proper Butane Lighter

Because cigars are made with moist tobacco, opposed to the dry tobacco used in cigarettes, it is best to use a lighter made specifically for cigars. They have a broader flame and use clean-burning fuel. The combination of these two factors makes for a better tasting cigar.
