Smoking a Cuban cigar does not feel like something that would require knowing a great deal but it is not that simple either. Sure, if you just want to light a cigar and smoke it up without caring about how to enjoy it best through certain old techniques, then you probably do not need to read this. But, if you are someone who would like to know something about how to smoke each cigar an experience in smoking, then read the following paragraphs.

Keep a clipper handy when planning to smoke a Cuban cigar as you will need it to cut off the ends of the cigar’s head before you put it in your mouth. Try to avoid using anything but a wooden matchstick to light your cigar, a lighter is fine for cigarettes, but not for cigars. Butane lighter is somewhat different though, it does not leave a foul smell behind to ruin the original flavor of the cigar. After you have lit your cedar matchstick, it is time to draw in through the cigar to light it, but be careful not to touch the flame though. Keep the Cuban cigar at an inch’s distance from the flame of the matchstick and seep drawing in to soon see your cigar catch the fire. Rotate the cigar and take a few puffs from it now to even the burn through out.

Now that you have lit your Cuban cigar in a perfect way and enjoying your smoke, you need to know when to stop smoking it. Unlike most cigarettes, cigars do not have a filter; therefore you should be done smoking a cigar when there is roughly two inches of it left. The reason why you should not go beyond that is the fact that it may get bitterer in taste if you continue to smoke the cigar even after the two inch mark.

The ash of a cigar can tell a great deal about a Cuban cigar and know that you are smoking a really good cigar if the ash at the end of your cigar is not falling off or breaking away as you smoke on. Do not jerk the “ash-stick” off your cigar into your ash-tray as that is not necessary at all. When you are taking a few second’s break from the smoke, just let the cigar rest on the ash-tray and the ash will fall off at the right time quite by itself.

Smoking a Cuban cigar is a sign of comfort and contentment and therefore should be smoked in good company and in peace. A cigar is not to be smoked before you go to the office or if you are in a hurry, rather enjoy it after a good dinner and may be with a drink. Light a cigar when you are in company of fellow smokers to avoid causing non-smokers any problem and also remember that it is best not to take in your puffs too deeply as it may then reach your lungs and that can cause you some serious illness over time.
