How do you make cigars?

Answer 1

you are not supposed to inhale a cigar unless you want to vomit. You keep it in your mouth and exhale.

AnswerThe exact same way, inhale then exhale, but first you need to make a hole(...by biting it and spitting the piece out, or using a cigar cutter...) in the rounded end, since it is completely closed off. Except you're supposed to only light them with matches after the initial flare up of the match, since the sulfur in the matches ruins the favor, as does the various lighter fluids. AnswerYou don't inhale.

If you are a smoker(10+ cigerettes a day) then inhaling is fine. not recommended if its your first cigar, or your first goodcigar. please note, for the love of god, do not "bite" off the end. experienced cigar smokes can but for a noob the its a big no no. you'll bite off to much and loose the wrap.

AnswerYou treat your cigar like a fine wine tasting. You breathe it in, enjoy it in your mouth, then exhale. I suggest to never to chew or bite off the cap. For the reason stated above. You can always get cheap cigar cutters for less than $10. Much easier that way. The end of the cigar that is lit is called the foot, and where you cut is called the head. The head has on top of it called the cap. There is a seam that connects the body(the cigar) to the cap. You want to cut the cap off right before the seam connects. That way you can get a good draw when you puff, and not have the head of the cigar unwravel. Which isn't the end of the world, if you do. Most cigar experts aka cigar aficinados have done so before when we have first started. I am a match guy myself, since I have ruined the cigar with someone trying to help with a Zippo. There are Zippos for cigars, but that one wasn't one of those. I tasted the gas with my cigar. As you light your cigar, you take puffs like you would with a cigarette, though you have to rotate so the whole foot is lit. A good sign of a noobie, is one who doesn't light the foot entirely. Another one of those classic signs that almost all cigar smokers have done before. Cigar smoking is as I said before, is like wine tasting. When you smoke a cigar, make sure you have time to finish, your cigar. For it is about leisure, not about your next fix. So when lighting it up, you should take your time and not worry about it. You are relaxing and most likely sitting down.
To really appreciate your cigar, smoke slowly and not draw too frequently, which will heat it and spoil the taste. You should take about a puff a minute. To smoke a corona should take about one half hour, and the bigger cigars such as a Churchill or a Double Corona can take more than an hour. Other than that, there are many times that are especially good for cigar smoking - after meals being a particularly popular choice. There's nothing quite like relaxing in a comfortable chair with a cigar and a nice stiff drink. A good rule of thumb is to always allow yourself at least an hour to properly appreciate the cigar.

Answer 2

Before you light up, use a match and let the sulphur burn away or you will contaminate the cigar. If you use a lighter, use only Butane. Pre heat the open end but do not let the flame touch the cigar, draw the flame towards the cigar to light it. Once lit, smoke slowly, do not let the cigar heat up. Take a puff a minute, a decent cigar should last an hour. A good time to smoke would be after a meal whilst relaxing with a good stiff drink. You should not inhale the smoke, a cigars flavour can be more enjoyed without inhaling. If you do, it will only make you cough. When the cigar is about 2" long and is starting to leave an after taste in your mouth, it is about finished. Do not stubb it out like a cigarette, just let it stop burning and when cold, dispose of properly.

Answer 3

By a "dry cigar" I hope you mean one of the small European cigars that's intended to be smoked dry. Those you light and smoke like they were moist cigars.

If by "dry cigar" you mean a moist cigar that got dried out...I know a guy who rehydrates such cigars with amaretto. He has a special humidor with a bowl of amaretto in it. The alcohol in the amaretto helps the moisture work its way into the cigar, and it comes out with a nice flavor. Takes a long time, though.

Answer

You can smoke a dry cigar but it is less that ideal. You will not get a nice flavor from the cigar. You best bet is to rehydrate the stick.

Answer

You can rehydrate it but you can't bring it back... once the oils dry up , they are gone forever. If you have acquired a taste for good cigars... it'll go to the trash...

Answer 4

You are not to inhale a cigar. A nasty headache awaits you if you do. A cigar is to be tasted like a fine wine. Full your mouth with smoke, hold for a second or two, then gently "exhale". So people like to "exhale" through their nose as they say it helps you savor the flavor. I am not one to do this, it is a little harsh for me. Make sure not to over puff the cigar or it will become hot and harsh.

Answer 5

Cigars are made by aging tobacco leafs and rolling them. There are many different kinds of tobacco leafs and many different ways to grow/store them. This is why there is practically an endless amount of cigars available.

Answer 6

OK. People have asked me this before and I don't know what's so hard about it. If you get a drink and suck on the straw your using your tongue to pull the liquid into your mouth hopefully. If your using your lungs that's a waste of good breathing time. Grab a drink and use a straw to suck it in, that's what you do with a cigar - suck it through don't try to use your lungs.

Answer 7

Cigars should always be lit using a wooden match....lighters degrade the flavor.
