The rituals

For over five hundred years the cigar culture maintained and again and again there have been contemporaries, who constituted the benefit of cigars as a mode trend going past. Cigar smoking has always been regarded as chick, cultivated, something special.

When selecting a cigar one pays attention to the colour nuances and palpates the cigar.
A well-stored cigar offers certain elasticity and can withstand a certain pressure. If it is too hard, it is also to dry.
By the smell of the still cold cigar one recognizes the strength and the flavour of the tobacco.
Nahezu One can cut almost all cigars with different instruments. One differentiates between the flat cut, notching cut and the drilling.
Ad labitum the cut or the drilling with a sharp cutter must be accomplished, without hurting the first page.

For lighting the cigar the flame of a long wooden cigar match or the flame of butane lighter is suitable. Start lighting the cigar by holding it over the flame and rotate the cigar until the tip of the cigar begins to ignite.

With calm puffs, without inhaling, you will be able to know the true promise of a cigar. For the relaxing benefit of a cigar you need time. You can hold the cigar as you want, also like Churchill, constantly in the mouth. Only, it must fit and you should feel well.

Long-fillers will hold a very long ash which cools the smoke before falling off. The ardent zeal to hold it as long as possible is sometimes punished. It is always wise as you see the ash starting to gain length to gently tap it off.
Gute Good cigars can be relighted. Tap the ash completely off, turn the cigar over the flame until it relights. Usually, a good cigar can be enjoyed up to its last third. Then, you have to decide when to let it go out by itself. By nature a cigar goes out automatically if not further puffed on.
