Chose a Cigar that you are comfortable with, whether it be mild, medium or full body. A larger diameter cigar provides a cooler, smoother smoke and allows for better blending of the tobacco.The length of the cigar helps you determine the time taken to smoke. Chose a cigar that has been stored properly, and is ready to smoke.

One end of a cigar has been closed or capped; this is called the head, and is the end you smoke. To do so you must remove part of the cap, cutting the cigar. When cutting the cigar, remove as little of the cap as is possible.

Lighting your “stick” evenly is the most important thing to remember. When you first start, you may want to toast your cigar a bit, whether it is with a match or butane lighter. This will sometimes make it easier for the filler on bigger ring gauge cigars to light more evenly. Next, gently puff on your cigar while you hold the flame to the end of the cigar. Be sure to rotate the cigar so the whole end gets lit properly. Remember, the hottest part of any flame is right above where you can visually see the actual flame.
