Lighting is about following two simple rules, take your time
and do a thorough job. The whole of the foot of the cigar must be alight
before you settle back to enjoy smoking, otherwise the cigarmay burn down
unevenly.
The fatter the cigar, the more time will be needed to light it. Lighting
can be done with a wooden match (once tha head has burned off) or a butane
lighter, as both of these have odourless flames. Petrol lighters and wax
candles should be avoided as their flames release aromas which interfere
with the tobacco flavors of your cigar.
If your cigar goes out halfway through you need not abandon it, but simply
re-light it. This is best done by first cleaning any ash from, and then
heating the end of the cigar in a flame. After such priming the cigar will
re-light at once. |
