The cigar...is
something that
commands
respect.
It is made for
all the senses,
for all the
pleasures, for
the nose, the
palate, the
fingers, the
eyes...
A good cigar
contains the
promise of a
totally
pleasurable
experience.

THE ART OF
SELECTION
As concerns tobacco,
there are many
superstitions.
And the chiefest is
this-that there is a
standard governing
the matter, wheras
there is nothing of the
kind. Each man's
preference is the only
standard for him, the
only one which he can
accept, the only one
which can command
him.
a congress of all the
tobacco-lovers in the
world could not elect
a standard which
would be binding
upon you or me, or
would even much
influence us.

There's
nothing like
smoking a
fine cigar!
THE LONG
VIEW
These
gentlemen
gave us some
cigars...
These are
leaves of
tobacco rolled
up in such a
manner that
they serve
both for a pipe
and for
tobacco itself.
These the
ladies, as well
as gentlemen,
are very fond
of smoking.

Don's Tips for the Cigar Novice
Many of you, for different reasons, are having a love affair with cigars, rendezvousing in sidewalk cafés, coffee
shops, and restaurants for a few joyful moments. Perhaps you like the flavor, perhaps you like the aroma, or
perhaps you just like to tell people who smoke skinny cigarettes, "My cigar can beat up your Marlboro." For
whatever reason, the cigar is a luxury many of you choose to use.
However, for some of you, the above statement might not be true. You may, never having gone beyond the pink
or blue bubble gum cigars handed out in hospitals after the birth of a child, be a little leery of cigars. They might
seem scary, or intimidating, and you might find yourself with a variety of questions: How should I hold a cigar?
How should I cut a cigar? How do I know which cigar to choose? Do I need to take some sort of Lamaze class
to learn how to puff?
What's What
Some say, "Potato," some say "Po-taught-o," some say, "Filler," some say, "Huh?" If you're not used to having
a cigar in your mouth, some of the jargon - the Filler, the Binder, the Wrapper - may have you scratching your
head in confusion.
In sum, the Filler is the cigar's soul, stuffed in the middle; it is essentially what the cigar is filled with. The
Binder is made up of thick tobacco leaves and used to bind the Filler together. The Wrapper is the outside leaf
of the cigar. Basically the cigar's wardrobe, the Wrapper is an extremely important outfit for two reasons: it
holds everything together and it provides a lot of the cigar's flavor.
Stogie Selection
Buying a cigar from a reputable dealer, such as What's Knot to Love, will guarantee your purchase is premium.
Once you've chosen a dealer, the art of cigar buying becomes a bit free form: there are very few set rules. It is,
however, good to keep in mind that the darker the tobacco, the stronger the flavor.
Make the Cut
There are a million different ways to cut a cigar - use a knife, use cigar scissors, use a V-cutter, or, if your
cigar has been found guilty of crime during the French Revolution, use a guillotine cut. It's your cigar, so cut it
anyway you want - even use a circular saw or your teeth, just make sure no one is watching.
After deciding how you're going to cut your cigar, you need to know where to cut it. Cutting off the cigar's head,
the general rule is to slice the cigar just past the shoulder (where it stops being round).
Puff, the Magic Dragging
To light a cigar, simply hold it out and allow the flame of the match or the odorless lighter to meet its end. Turn
the cigar, rotating it so that the end becomes evenly charred.
Once the cigar is lit, and take off has commenced, let the smoke wallow near your mouth, drinking in the
aroma and the flavor. Gently puff on the cigar, instead of inhaling like a cigarette.
Holding Time
Most people recommend that you don't hold your cigar like a cigarette, unless you are European (I know, it
doesn't seem fair that the Europeans got sexy accents, the Spice Girls AND cigar holding). For the rest of you, a
cigar should be held between your index finger and thumb.
Size Matters
When it comes to cigars, the length of the ash is important. You should allow your ash to grow to around three
quarters of an inch long, which will inevitably turn into two feet during locker room talk. A lengthy ash is vital to
a good smoking experience. The ash creates an air block, which helps decrease the temperature of the
smoke and results in a slower burning cigar. These factors intensify the taste and make the experience more
enjoyable.
Once a cigar is smoked halfway, let it die: it's served its purpose so bid it a fond farewell with a tip of your hat
and a "It's been nice smoking you." Then, go on your way. Now rest, and smoke, assured, just knowing these
few tips will have you looking like Groucho Marx in no time, except with better trimmed eyebrows.
