Cigar Buying 101 For Gifts
Confused on what to buy for your husband or father who is a die-hard cigar lover? Relax! Read below all you should know about cigar for picking the finest quality gift for a cigar lover.
Cigar size
Cigars are divided in categories on the basis of their origin, size, strength, shape and how they are put together (cigars can be either hand rolled or machine made). Some famous types of cigars are Lonsdale, Torpedo, Panatela etc and the Giant is the longest of all. It is 9 inch long and has a ring size of 52 as its diameter.
Shape, Assembling and Color
Cigars are available in varied colors and shapes. The most common shapes are tapered, flared and pyramid. Pick only a hand rolled cigar and not a machine made one. If you cannot afford it you might as well drop the idea of buying a cigar.
Start with Mild-Flavored Cigars
If your gift is for an aspiring cigar connoisseur, start by buying one of several different sizes/styles of cigars at your local tobacconist. Choose mild cigars at first and work your way up to stronger flavors. Here are the benefits of starting with mild cigars: they generally cost less than stronger cigars and you won’t lose as much money as your beloved learns how to cut the ends appropriately, learns the best way to light them, and learns the best way to store them at home. You will be surprised at how quickly they dry out if not properly contained. It’s a learned art!
Getting maximum pleasure from your cigars
Here is what long-time cigar enthusiasts recommend about smoking and enjoying cigars. This is also useful stuff to relate to the profoundly happy recipient of your gift:
* Experiment with various types of cigars.
* Unlike cigarettes cigar smoke is to be kept in the mouth for a brief duration and exhaled.
* Unless you buy your cigars in single sticks that were stored in a humidor, age your cigars by stripping off all packaging and placing them in a humidor for a few months before smoking. Do not store your cigars in the refrigerator because it will dry them out.
* Throw away partially smoked cigars–do not put a stinky used cigar in your humidor!
* Port wine, Scotch or some equally strong drink are an excellent mix for a memorable cigar smoking experience.
* Use a good cigar cutter for snipping off the tip rather than biting it off.
* Do not use paper matches to light your cigar. Use a butane lighter for best results. Wooden matches are OK but make sure you let the sulfur burn off first.
* Do not snuff out your cigar as it would smell awful; just leave the used cigar in the ashtray to burn off.
