It is a tradition as old as time, that while the women gather around for dessert and “girl talk" the men step outside to enjoy minimal conversation and a round of cigars.
Perhaps this idea is a bit old fashioned, but the satisfaction one receives when smoking a cigar is sure to live on. Smoking a cigar is in many ways an art form, from cutting the cigar, lighting the cigar, and savoring that first to final draw. No matter how you choose to enjoy your cigar, whether that is with a glass of fine wine, whiskey or port, you should take the time to savor every second of your experience.
Smoking Culture offers a wide variety of cigars including favorites like Arturo Fuente, Macanudo, Ashton, Romeo y Julieta.
Some people believe that there is a cigar for every special occasion that you find yourself in. When it comes to choosing a cigar, you need to take into consideration the shape, size and color of a cigar as they all affect the taste. Once you have chosen the right cigar for your taste palate and occasion, there are a few protocols in cigar etiquette you will need to follow.
Start by warming the foot of the cigar slightly and removing the band carefully after lighting it. This is meant to be a casual experience, so take your time smoking, taking a puff a minute as you hold your cigar between your index finger and your thumb. After your cigar is smoked halfway, it will go out on its own.
No matter how you choose to smoke your cigar, you need to begin with choosing a brand.
More than the finest smoking enjoyment any cigar lover could experience, a Fluente Gran Reserva represents love, pride and personal sacrifice.
