I have to agree with the lighting comment. Try just lightly toasting the foot, without the cigar in your mouth, first. Lightly toast it, then lightly blow on the foot. Coax it into lighting instead of taking the flame thrower approach, and I'm sure you will find it is a more refined and sophisticated way to light your favorite smoke.
@MrCigarEnthusiast I didn't say anything about inhaling the smoke. That was our friend GoldenGlocks up there =)
I just made a comment about lightly toasting the foot without the cigar in your mouth, and then lightly blowing on the forming embers to get the cigar going. I used to light it while having the cigar in my mouth, but I have found that by toasting the foot, I get a much more even burn and I don't singe the wrapper. I did this with a Siglo II last night, it is a fantastic cigar!
@Caspertroffe Because of the United States dealings with Cuba in the 1960's IE: The Cuban Missle Crisis, and the Cold War, The US put a trade embargo against Cuba that is still in effect today. Cuban Cigars is part of that embargo, making them illegal for Americans to buy or to have in their possession.
@MrCigarEnthusiast aaah :-) thanks! .. what would yo suggest for a beginner cigar smoker to smoke ? .. im in london right now so i have been on the cigar walk ;)
@Caspertroffe I would suggest a mild cigar to start off if you are new to cigar smoking. If you smoke a medium to full bodied cigar, you may get a little queasy. I would suggest the Punch London Club Petit Corona. That is a nice mild cigar you can enjoy your walk with.
You can use matches, preferably wood matches. But you can use cigar lighters, they have odorless fuel, rather than cigarette lighters that contain lighter fluid, which can kill the taste of the cigar.
If you say so, you obviously do not know how to light a cigar, the flame and the cigar should never touch, then you rotate the cigar so the flame will evenly light the cigar. It's not like lighting a cigarette.
Haha, well actually I've been smoking Cohibas (mainly Siglo V) for years now, and know that you don't need to burn the crap out of the end of a cigar like you just did to get it going.
Yes, of course the flame / cigar should never touch (especially if using matches), but lighting it the way you do runs the risk of making it burn too hot and spoiling the flavours.
anyway, you can say what you want. But it was my cigar to light, and again you can say what you want, it didn't ruin the cigar at all. Plus, considering that your Channel has nothing to do at all with cigars, I really don't think there is a need to berate a person when all they are doing is trying to share a hobby with the world.
Just got back from Cuba. Bought a few Cohiba Siglo lll's. Wondering what the difference is in taste and aroma? I too love Cohiba's, haven't tried the ll Petit Corona. Cheers.
its $170 a box at Cuba with 25 cigars, and it is a amazing cigar for sure! Very smooth and tasty, sweet!!

@investandprosper You never inhale cigar smoke. You can swish the smoke around inside your mouth to get the taste and aroma of the cigar.
