The right way to smoke a cigar is the one way that will let you enjoy it the most. The first thing when it comes to smoking your cigar is that you need to buy the right kind. Don’t buy cigars that are sappy and have holes on the body or are discolored. If you are starting for the first time, buy a mild variety and inspect it thoroughly by hand. Don’t buy more than you are going to smoke in a couple of days because cigars need humidifiers for storage.
Now, relax and take it in easily. Take your own time when it comes to smoking that cigar, because cigars are meant to last long. Ideally, you should be taking a puff a minute.
If possible, try not to inhale cigar smoke and instead, enjoy the rich flavor when you are smoking it. A well crafted cigar will have very low amounts of nicotine which will make you feel asphyxiated and cause choking when inhaled.
To really do it in style, exhale in the form of smoke rings. Smoke rings are more about letting the air without really exerting any force. If done right, it looks good and you end up not inhaling the smoke.
The last step is to know when to put out the cigar. When you are not getting the cigar’s flavor but are instead getting an aftertaste, then it is the right time to put out the cigar. You can just leave it on the ashtray and it should go out by itself.
