 Cut the head - the end where you draw the smoke - by just a tiny bit with a cigar cutter. You can use a guillotine cutter or you can opt for a punch, which creates a hole. Don’t take off more than 3/8th” inch, or the cap will start to unravel, leaving your cigar in tatters. Picking up tobacco leaves from off the ground is not how to smoke a cigar.

 Light ‘er up. You are going to need a decent lighter when you are first learning how to smoke a cigar. Quickly apply the flame to the entire foot, or end, of the cigar, making for a nice light and an even burn. Now, here’s the trick to how to smoke a cigar: while lighting, you need to puff repeatedly with just your mouth. Do not inhale. That is one main difference between how to smoke a cigar versus smoking a cigarette.

 As soon as the cigar is lit, remove the flame. Puff gently, not hard, because this will cause the flame to burn hot and that is not how to smoke a cigar. Puff as often as you like. Talk to your friends. Dip the head in cognac. Contemplate Hemmingway. Invent your own treatise detailing how to smoke a cigar. Do not ash the cigar until the ash is just about ready to fall off by itself. Otherwise, it will burn too hot - ruining the taste - and you will get a bad first impression as to how to smoke a cigar.

Do this often enough here at Diplomat Cigars, and soon even you will be teaching people how to smoke a cigar!
