Is Smoking A Cigar Right After Buying It A Good Idea?

By:


Smoking cigars is a great way to relax at the end of a long, stressful day. People do not typically smoke cigars for the same reason that people smoke cigarettes. Most people smoke a cigarette to get a dose of nicotine, while cigar smokers smoke for the flavor of the cigar itself. If you are brand new to cigar smoking, you may not know that cigar smoking is an art form. There is a proper way to smoke your cigar and there is a wrong way. It is important to pick the right type of cigars, know the proper time to smoke them, how to light them, and so on in order to smoke cigars properly.

First, you need to make sure that the cigar has been properly aged. New cigars, or "green" smokes, are not terribly fulfilling. They can smoke strangely and have very odd tastes. Many smokers find that lighting up right after getting home from the tobacconist is a very bad idea and that it leads to an extremely unsatisfying smoke. Instead of lighting up right away, put your cigars in your humidor for a few weeks to allow them to age correctly.

How long should you let your cigar age? Again, it really depends on the cigar in question and just how green it is. Some very green cigars need to be aged for several months or even a year before they'll provide an optimal smoke. Others only need a few weeks. The best advice might be to speak with the tobacconist from whom you bought the cigar. He or she will be able to give you far more information about the age of the cigar and the need for storing it before smoking.

It is a good idea to ask a cigar shop employee about their storage procedures. The first time you shop at any cigar shop, take the cigar home and store it at the proper humidity levels before smoking. An alternative approach is to ask about a shop's storage procedures and if you are happy with the answer you get, you can try smoking one of their cigars right away as a tester. If the cigar is to your satisfaction, you'll then have a reliable shop to return to whenever you need to stock up on cigars.

It is important to make sure that you are stocked up with the proper cigar accessories before attempting to smoke your cigar. You will need to have a good ashtray, a lighter, cigar cutter, and humidor box to get started.
