The correct way to smoke a cigar

Only inhaling into the mouth is different from inhaling the smoke into the lungs as soon as you smoke. Smoking cigars is a kind of enjoyment. Don't smoke too much to avoid burning the cigar too quickly or getting too hot. Take small puffs at a time regularly, enjoy slowly, and don't turn your cigar into a ball of fire. Keep the cigar at a stable temperature so that its aroma can be fully exploited. It's not dishonorable to smoke a cigar that you can't finish in one sitting.

Mild cigars, especially those with light-colored wrappers, will lose their flavor once they are stored for too long. Therefore, it is common to smoke light-colored cigars first, and then enjoy dark-colored cigars. A well-ripened wrapper will appear oily at first, becoming smoother and darker as it matures.

For those who are new to cigar smoking, it is best to choose small cigars such as Minuto or Carolina first, and then switch to milder and thicker cigars, such as the H. Upmann exported from Havana. Most people prefer mini cigars with a mild taste in the morning or after a light meal at noon.
