Cigar Smoking Etiquette

Cigar Smoking Etiquette
by : www.backwoods-and-cuban-cigars.info In today's world, it seems that almost any topic is open for debate. While I was gathering facts for this article, I was quite surprised to find some of the issues I thought were settled are actually still being openly discussed. Smoking cigars may be a great source of pleasure in your life, but the courteous smoker knows that not everyone enjoys the taste (or smell!) of a good Cuban. With the fervor of anti-smoking

campaigns still in full swing, the importance of enjoying a good stogie while not offending others cannot be stressed enough. Simply remember that while you are smoking a cigar, it can be difficult to gauge the smell that others are experiencing. And don't forget that smokes can leave a mighty strong residue on clothing, furniture, and even the walls! In order to enjoy your stogie without a heavy conscience, learn to become a considerate and courteous smoker. If you live with non-smokers, try to find a well-ventilated area of your residence where you can smoke comfortably. Although it may be tempting to lock yourself away in an office or bedroom, it's probably not a good idea to smoke in an enclosed area unless it has a window. Make sure you have easy access to the window. Never smoke in a closed area! You are more likely to inhale the toxic air from your own cigar. If possible, go outside to smoke. Pull up a lawn chair; relax on the porch, or any other open area where you can smoke comfortably. Get as far away as possible to non-smokers, especially children and the elderly. Remember that smoke contains many carcinogens that can be easily inhaled by non-smokers. Most of this information comes straight from the cigars pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you'll know what they know. If you must smoke a outside your home, remember that the courteous and respectful smoker will only light up where legally permitted. Do no light up in a bar, hotel, or restaurant where smoking is clearly prohibited. The courteous smoker will also make sure to smoke in the company of other smokers. If you are with someone who does not smoke, ask his or her permission. If they agree, be considerate about it. Make sure the smoke isn't wafting in their direction. Sit near an open window or space. Make sure the air conditioner or current is moving the smoke in their direction! Also, make sure no one around you is eating. The secondhand smoke from a discourteous smoker is a surefire way to ruin a meal. A courteous smoker will also be aware of their ashes. If you must smoke outside your home, make certain to dispose of your ashes in a safe and appropriate container. Don't forget that ashes can easily blow away, especially in lower quality cigars. Don't litter with ashes, and be careful they don't blow near anyone around you. 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!
