ABOUT CIGARS
|
|
|
HOW DO I SELECT A CIGAR? |
|
| • Select a size and shape that feels comfortable to you. The length of time you wish to smoke will dictate how large of a cigar to purchase. |
|
| • Avoid very thin shapes, as they tend to draw hard. We recommend mild cigars fro new cigar smokers, after that let your pleasure be your guide. |
|
| • Please keep in mind that hand made cigars burn much slower and deliver much more flavor than less expensive machine made cigar. |
|
| WHAT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO LIGHT A CIGAR? |
|
|
|
| • If you use a match, let the supher burn off before you light up. Keep the flame 1/2" from the end of the cigar and puff slowly as you slowly rotate the cigar allowing the heat to evenly ignite the tobacco. |
|
| *Note: Please refrain from licking you cigar! |
|
| WHAT IS THE CORRECT METHOD TO CUT A CIGAR? |
|
|
| • Position your cutter so that you make an opening approximately 1/4" in diameter. You should not cut past the end cap of the cigar as this may cause the wrapper to unravel. |
|
|
| • Cigar pluggers (bullit cutters) make a neat opening but require that you cut more slowly and carefully. If you hurry you may split the head. |
|
| • A "V" cutter is OK, but ithey are generally intended for short filler cigars. |
|
| WHAT TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY SHOULD CIGARS BE MAINTAINED AT? |
|
|
|
| • Ideally 69 deg F and 73% humidity is best. A 5 point variation will still maintain your cigars quite well. |
|
| IF I DON'T HAVE A HUMIDOR, WHERE SHOULD I KEEP MY CIGARS? |
|
|
• Find a cool moist spot in your home and place your cigars in a zip lock bag. Placing your cigars under the vanity in the bathroom works very well. |
|
| *Note: Never keep your cigars in a refrigerator. |
