hi :
i want to smoke cigaret which cigar is best?

nymphetamine

Yes do not start. I am a cna. I have seen the very bad effect smoking has on people and its very tragic. rkim i hate to encourage you but that sounds about right. I dnt know about the cutting thing but i have seen people bite a little of that end off and then spit it out. I would ask someone who knows about them first though. There is a first time for everything. Youre not supposed to enhale? uh oh.

Yes I said it! I'm sorry if you don't like it but it is my choice. As for the technical part of smoking a cigar I will answer. It certainly does make a difference as to which end to light. The cigar is hand rolled in a spiral so the tender part of the leaf is foremost. To cut a cigar you will need a cutter. There are many types, even some that just bore a hole. You only need a 'guillotine' type cutter which is available at a cigar shop for a few dollars. If you cut with a knife or scissors you will blunt the end and may affect the draw.
After the cut, take the cigar and point in towards the floor. With a flame from a butane lighter char the end completely being careful not to hold the flame directly on the cigar. This ensures that the cigar will burn evenly. Now with the cigar in your mouth, hold the flame so it is not directly touching the cigar and draw in. Really light it up, keep the flame on it longer than you would a cigarette. Just draw enough to have the smoke enter your mouth. Don't force it. A cigar should be smoked in a leisurely manner. It is to be enjoyed, not a quick smoke. The draw will become easier as the cigar gets smaller. It is perfectly OK to let a cigar go out, just knock off the old ash and relight by holding a flame to the cigar, you won't even have to draw.
By the way, a good cigar of high quality for a beginner is Griffin or Avo. Both are mild. Your cigar seller will be very helpful in making a choice as long as you give her/him your preferences.

I will give you all the same warnings, if you don't smoke, don't start.

If you do quit

Now if you have to smoke, just have to, a cigar two or three times a week is alot better than 3 packs a day.

First what can you afford, if you can afford 100 a cigar, you will get alot better quality than a 50 cent cigar.

If you want cheap but OK, try the Thompson Cigar company, you can order assortment boxes over the internet.

If you want real quality visit a local cigar shop they will be trained to guide you in your taste.

and that is another factor, everyone has thier own taste, what is your favorite may not be mine.

And yes, having lived in Mexico and Columbia before, a Cuban can not be beat but of course is illegal here in the US. There are alot of good local cigars from Columbia that are good. now sure how thier import laws are now, since I quit smoking all together a few years ago

I still say, if you want to smoke then it's your choice. Don't let other people try to tell you to either don't start or to go ahead and start.
That's the beauty of freedom, it' syour choice if you want to start smoking or not.

Ok, I tried it. Thanks for those of you with various suggestions, including the ones who said "don't start." Smoking cigar was not such a pleasurable experience. Either the Cigar I smoked was a cheap one or smoking Cigar isn't just my thing.

Cohiba. Smooth, rich, lovely. Of course it must be coupled with a dirty martini - extra dirty and a redhead in a red dress. For a nice cig try Nat Shermans. Women love the Fantasia's while men tend to like Black & Gold's.

smoking is a aquired taste, breathing smoke into your lungs and cutting out part of the needed O2 takes getting use to.

And of course as a person who deals daily with people on O2 machines to help them breath for various lung problems, it is sad when I see them take a puff of thier breathing machine, take the hose off of thier head to take a smoke.


But I will agree a few cigars a month most likely will not harm you that much. But if you don't like it, then dont.

I smoke a cigar occasionally. I've smoked Cubans (legally; in Canada) and found them way too harsh.

I like mild; my favorite being Butera.

Fr_Chuck

Cubans are legal in Canada???

I see a road trip in my future.
