The way you cut and light your cigar significantly impacts the smoking experience. A proper cut ensures an effortless draw, while an even light allows for a consistent burn, preserving the intended flavors of the tobacco.

Cutting a Cigar:

• Use a Sharp Cutter – A dull cutter can crush the cigar, damaging its structure.
• Cut Above the Cap – Removing too much can unravel the wrapper, so aim for a clean cut just above the cap line.
• Choose the Right Cutter – A straight cut provides an open draw, a v-cut concentrates flavors, and a punch cut offers a smaller opening to enhance strength.

Lighting a Cigar:

• Use a Butane Lighter or Cedar Spill – These allow for a clean burn without adding unwanted flavors.
• Toast the Foot Evenly – Hold the flame just below the cigar, rotating it for an even light.
• Avoid Direct Flame Contact – Let the heat, not the fire, ignite the tobacco to maintain its integrity.
• Take Gentle Puffs – Draw softly to ensure a slow, even burn without overheating the cigar.
