Selecting a cigar: The ring gauge of the cigar will give you a basic indication of how strong the taste is. The larger the ring size, generally means, the smoother, fuller, slower and cooler the cigar will be.
Cutting a cigar: The cap of a premium cigar must be cut before lighting it. You can do this with punch cutters, cigar scissors, or guillotine cutters. The guillotine is recommended for the most effective cut. Make sure you don’t snip the whole cap off, because it may damage the wrapper.
Handrolled cigar fans are known for their declaration of food and wine. One of the perfect times to offer a cigar is after a meal. Other great times to fancy your favorite stogie are: during or after business meetings, while walking the dog, while on your way to and from work or basically just any time you’re looking to enjoy the fulfillment and relaxation you get by a fine cigar.
Smoking a Fine Cigar: Cigars are meant to be admired and savored for the feel, taste and the aroma. Smoke slowly. Don’t draw to hard. If your cigar extinguishes itself, it is proper to relight it within one to two hours. Any later than that, it will taste flavorless.
