About cigars

When Columbus discovered Cuba in 1492, there were only kind natives, who were naked and had a huge cigar in their mouths. When Columbus and his party arrived in Mumbai, India, they thought they were Indians. These people did not object, and warmly invited guests from the sea to smoke cigars, which changed the history of mankind.

Later, Spanish conquerors invaded Cuba and started the tobacco and cigar business. We almost slaughtered the local people because we wanted them to believe in God. As a result, there was a shortage of labor, so slaves were bought from Africa to work, which was the beginning of slavery in the United States.

Tobacco was the earliest native product exported to Europe by the United States, which laid the economic foundation for pioneers. The earliest Europeans who smoked cigars were rich and unconventional, and most people could not afford them. Cigarettes mean "small cigars" in French, which can be said to be poor people's cigars. Paper-wrapped cigarettes did not appear in Europe until the second half of the19th century, which was nothing compared with cigars.

Cuban cigars are Rolls Royce in cigars, and they are also the only way to show off wealth and create an authoritative image. Unlike expensive watches, cigars can be seen and smelled naturally in crowded places. Male and female stars, upstarts in shopping malls and finance, tycoons from all walks of life, Erheng will burn one where there are photographers to create a strong image for the public. But few people really smoke all Cuban cigars, because the price is too expensive, and most people smoke imitations of a few dollars.

Not many people smoked cigars in the past, most of them were arrogant old men. It's different now. Many cigar smokers are young people in their thirties, and there are also many women.

Cigar-smoking picky

Unlike cigarettes, smoking cigars has a very special way. If you smoke cigars like cigarettes, even if you take an item worth 1000 yuan, people in the industry will despise you: you are rich, but you are not a noble, just an upstart.

Simply put, smoking cigars has the following basic stresses:

Ensure freshness

No matter what cigar you get, put it on your ear and shake it gently with your fingers before lighting it. If you don't hear any crackling, this cigar is fresh. Cigarettes should not be too dry, but keep a certain humidity.

Light a cigar

Don't use candles or gasoline lighters, it will smell. Butane lighter is acceptable, so it is best to use special matches longer than your fingers. After lighting the match, wait a few seconds for the sulfur to disperse. Then, put the cigar above the flame (not in the center), turn it slowly and light it evenly.

Small mouth suction

A big puff will make the cigar burn violently and a "fireball" will appear. On the other hand, cigars have the purest fragrance only when they burn steadily and slowly, so you should have a taste. In addition, people in the industry don't often knock off soot, because a certain length of soot can reduce the oxygen supply and ensure its slow combustion.

Not inhaled into the lungs

Cigar smoking is not inhaled into the lungs, but gently spit into the throat, let the smoke surround you and taste the lingering fragrance. So, that guy who smokes hard is also an amateur!

Automatic extinguishing

When there is 1/4 left in the cigar, put it next to the ashtray and let it go out automatically. Don't pump it out or press it out. This will be considered impolite and disrespectful to expensive cigars.

Cigar mouth

1. Beginners should choose small-sized and light cigars as an introduction, which will save money and avoid choking.

If you have enough time, you can choose a cigar seven centimeters long and enjoy it slowly. If time is tight, you might as well switch to a cigar five centimeters long. Otherwise, it will spoil the taste for a while.

3, don't smoke too much like smoking, smoking too much will gradually feel dizzy and disgusting, affecting health.

4, generally strong cigars are accompanied by spirits, otherwise the taste of spirits will completely cover up the taste of cigars.

Don't smoke wildly, lest the cigar burn too fast or overheat. Take a sip at a time to keep the cigar stable, so as to give full play to its fragrance.
