4 Tips For Lighting A Cigar
For new smokers, lighting a cigar may seem daunting as learning to choose a good one. Here are four tips to guide you in lighting a cigar for the first time.
1. Use cedar matches, if possible. If you prefer a lighter, make sure that the butane lighter to avoid strong odors.
2. Warm the open end of the cigar (aka “foot” of the cigar) slowly over the flame without touching the fire. Leave a black ring around the end.
3. Place the cigar in his mouth and pull slowly. Hold the cigar on the flame on a half-inch above it, once again, without touching it. Continue to pull until the cigar draws the flame. Turn the cigar slowly, spinning to create an even burn.
4. Once your cigar is lit, out of your mouth and observe the burn you have established. If the burn appears to be uneven, simply blow on the unlit sections to draw the burn, and then take one or two draws from the cigar to restore a burn.
