Cigars Basics That Anyone Can Understand
Looking for a gift for your father or husband who is a cigar fan? Look no further. Find below all that you need to be aware about cigars and how to pick one.
Type of Cigar Based on Size
There are several ways of categorizing cigars: size, shape, strength, their country of origin, and the way they are made (hand-rolled vs. machine). The most common way to categorize a cigar is by size, which is the cigar’s length in inches and ring size (cigar diameter) measured in 64ths of an inch. There is actually a name associated with each length and ring size and these are the cigar names that you may be familiar with. Corona, Panatela, Torpedo, Toro, Churchill, Perfecto, Cigarillo, Lonsdale, Robusto, and the largest of them all, Giant. The Giant style of cigar is 9 inches in length with a ring size of 52!
Colors, Shapes, and Hand-Rolled
After choosing a cigar based on size, you can start to whittle down your choices by choosing the color of the exterior wrapper color (there are more than 100 different wrapper shades!) and the shape of the cigar. Flared, tapered, pyramid are the basic shapes. And don’t buy the cheapest cigar — hand-rolled cigars should be your only choice. No one can ever appreciate the true joy of cigar smoking with a machine-made cigar. Don’t even spend the money.
Begin with mild cigars
If your gift is for an aspiring cigar connoisseur, start by buying one of several different sizes/styles of cigars at your local tobacconist. Choose mild cigars at first and work your way up to stronger flavors. Here are the benefits of starting with mild cigars: they generally cost less than stronger cigars and you won’t lose as much money as your beloved learns how to cut the ends appropriately, learns the best way to light them, and learns the best way to store them at home. You will be surprised at how quickly they dry out if not properly contained. It’s a learned art!
How to get the maximum from your cigars
Here are some tips from experts to help you maximize your experience of cigar smoking.
* There are many types of cigars. Experiment with new sizes and flavors.
* Don’t inhale cigar smoke when puffing and keep the smoke in your mouth for the shortest length of time.
* For storing cigars remove their packaging and for one or two months stock your cigars in a humidor instead of a refrigerator.
* Used cigars should be disposed off and not put back in the humidor.
* To really enjoy your cigar smoking experience, choose the right drink to go with your carefully chosen indulgence. Try some strong-flavored drinks to enhance the flavor of your cigar, such as scotch, port wine, and Kahlua drinks.
* Use a good cigar cutter for snipping off the tip rather than biting it off.
* Do not use paper matches to light your cigar. Use a butane lighter for best results. Wooden matches are OK but make sure you let the sulfur burn off first.
* Do not snuff out your cigar as it would smell awful; just leave the used cigar in the ashtray to burn off.
