Cigar Accessories
Cigar lighters and cigar cutters are your first line of defense against a smokeless existence. The guillotine cutter is the most basic of cigar accessories. Use it to chop the head off by just a very small amount, usually in the range of 1/16th”-3/8th”. This allows you to draw smoke. The cigar lighter, obviously, will allow you to set fire to the foot, or burning end. These cigar accessories will get you started, but unless you only smoke outside or ash on the floor of your penthouse, you are going to need to add an ashtray to your arsenal of cigar accessories. These specialized cigar accessories come in a range of styles – from the downright austere to the positively funky. Moving up the food chain of cigar accessories now, we come upon cigar cases and cigar boxes. Cigar cases are airtight cylinders (or other shape) that allow you to carry your cigars from place to place. Cigar boxes are staple cigar accessories. They are usually stationary and - more often than not - are specially made to keep the moisture inside so that your cigars can age gracefully. In this case, the box is called a humidor. Usually made of moisture-loving Spanish cedar wood, humidors keep cigars from rotting. The hygrometer – another crucial item on your shopping list of cigar accessories - inside the humidor will tell you whether the humidity is within that prime 68%-72% humidity level. So now you’ve got most of your cigar accessories figured out. Now you just need a smoking jacket. We can’t help you there.
