You dont need to take the label off at all. If you want to remove it, you can do it at the beginning or when the cigar is burning close to the label.
When lighting ht cigar, you dont actually put the flame on it, or you will burn it and can give it a weird taste. Place the flame (matches are better, but other lighters are fine) about half an inch below the end of the cigar, and draw in with your mouth. Don’t suck, just pull in with your cheeks. Take a puff or two as you please, every 30second to 2 minutes. You dont need to ash the cigar a lot, let the ash build up to an inch or inch and a half, then tap it off. The cigar will burn slower and cooler with the ash still on.
Also, always use a cutter on your cigars to cut off the tip. Never use a knife or scissors, or you’ll mess up the cigar wrapping.
Good Luck, and Enjoy!
