How to smoke cigars correctly
The main difference between smoking cigars and smoking cigarettes is that cigars do not drag on. Cigars are smoked in order to taste the smoke. Another difference is that it is not recommended to light cigars with gasoline lighters. This spoils the aroma of the smoke.
Before smoking, cut the end of the cigar with a special knife (guillotine).
To light a cigar, you need to follow a whole ritual:
- First, roll the cigar over a lit match to evenly heat the tip;
- Now take a cigar in your mouth and inhale while slowly rotating it;
- Hold the smoke in your mouth, savor the scent, exhale slowly.
When smoking a cigar, the ashtray is not used much, it does not smolder as quickly as a cigarette. It is also not worth extinguishing the cigar - after a few seconds it will die out by itself. If the cigar has gone out, and you immediately want to smoke more, you can do it. If part of the cigar is left from yesterday, then smoking it is not recommended, because the aroma is not the same, and from lying it will acquire an unpleasant taste.
Traditionally, cigars are smoked after meals. With cognac or rum, the combination of taste will be unique.
