How to prep your cigar?

Preparing a cigar properly before lighting it is important to ensure that you have a smooth and enjoyable smoking experience. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Cut the cigar: Use a cigar cutter to remove the cap from the cigar's head.

2. Inspect the cigar: Examine the cigar for any cracks or holes that could affect the draw or burn. Gently roll the cigar between your fingers to check for soft spots or lumps.

3. Toast the foot: Hold the cigar at a 45-degree angle and use a lighter to toast the foot. Rotate the cigar slowly to ensure even toasting. Do not put the flame directly onto the cigar.

4. Light the cigar: Once the foot is toasted, hold the cigar to your mouth and take a few puffs while holding the flame to the foot. Continue to rotate the cigar as you puff to ensure an even light.

5. Enjoy the cigar: Sit back and relax, savoring the flavor and aroma of the cigar as you smoke it.
