Cigar Smoking 101
by : www.backwoods-and-cuban-cigars.info The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary. That are the basics of smoking? How do you light a cigar? How do you draw on the properly? Do you inhale? What are the dos and

don'ts of smoking? If you have ever pondered any of these questions, read on. Here is a simple and accessible primer designed to help you gain familiarity with the sometimes confusing, always enigmatic world of smoking. First Step: Lighting Up First, all new smokers should learn how to properly light a cigar. Use a clipper designed for cigars to clip off the edge of the head (the section you put to your mouth). If possible light the foot of your with a cedar match. Avoid regular cigarette lighters. They produce a nasty odor that can linger and ruin a good cigar. If you must use a lighter, use butane lighter. These will keep the odor to a minimum. However, you should always strive to use a wooden match because lighters can easily taint the foot of your cigar. How do you light up? Simply strike a match and hold the edge of your over the flame. Avoid touching the to the fire, simply hold the over the flame and draw deeply until the is lit. Second Step: Burn it down to a nub? It's really a good idea to probe a little deeper into the subject of cigars. What you learn may give you the confidence you need to venture into new areas. Should you burn your down to a nub? Experts recommend you leave at least two inches to your cigar. Even the finest cigars will tend to get bitter if you let it burn all the way down. What about ashes? Should you knock the ashes off of your cigar? Rather than knocking the ashes off the edge, let the rest in the ashtray when you're not smoking it. The ashes will fall off naturally. Third Step: Relax and Enjoy A should never be rushed. By design, cigars should be savored, preferably after dinner and with a glass of good brandy. Hold the between your thumb and fingers—anything else might be considered bad taste. Also, don't inhale deeply. The smoke should not reach your lung. This is very bad for your health, and it will not help you taste the any better. Of course, you should always be considerate of those around you. If possible, smoke in the company of other smokers. A good can be enjoyed alone and even more so with friends. Now might be a good time to write down the main points covered above. The act of putting it down on paper will help you remember what's important about cigars.

Weekly Special - October 8
A robust blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan long filler leaves wrapped in zesty Honduran binders and wrappers from the La Entrada farm of the famous Oliva Family. These hearty smokes, packed in heavy cedar chests, were formerly available only in select tobacconists (and of course, scurvy discount operations like JR were accidentally not "selected"). I guess that's because they knew that WE WOULD SELL THEM DIRT CHEAP!!! And that's exactly what we're doing with the one and only shipment of these cigars we've ever gotten. You people can thank Old Dominion Truck Lines for this sale, because if they hadn't made a mistake and dropped them off at our place by accident we wouldn't be having this sale! Every size of Don Melo Centenario at HALF PRICE!
