The Proper Way To Smoke A Cigar
by: Jeff Lakie Okay. So you've gone out and bought a couple cigars and decided that you wanted take up the popular pastime of smoking. After all, this pastime has increased in popularity in recent years, spawning magazines and books and smoking bars. It's a fine, affluent, and cultured hobby to be a part of it. So what kind of accessories do you need, in addition to

your cigars, in order to have an authentic smoking experience? You'll want to get yourself a humidor. They come at a variety of styles and types but you should get one that is made of Spanish cedar, or at least contains Spanish cedar in it. Spanish cedar is often used to help keep cigars fresh for indefinite periods of time. And, a humidor kept at 70% will keep your cigars in an ideal state of humidity so that they'll be ready to smoke when you are. You can overcome problems in your humidor's humidity by making sure that it is full of cigars, since a nearly empty humidor will throw off the humidity. Before you can light up your cigar, you'll need to clip off the end. This will expose the inside leaves of the which are the ones that impart the most flavor as you draw in the smoke. While many people use any sharp object handy, like a pocket knife, you can really enjoy this smoking experience before you even light up by getting yourself a little guillotine clipper. Usually they have three holes, two for your fingers and one in the middle for the cigar. You put the in the middle one and pinch your fingers and a little blade snaps the cap off of the end of the cigar. The next thing you'll need is a good lighter. connoisseurs recommend that you don't use a regular lighter or a match, since the sulfur from the match or the fluid from the lighter will add an unpleasant taste to your cigar. A butane lighter is one popular way to light your without the after effects of bad flavor. While not necessary, a smoking jacket was a traditional garment used by men to keep smoke from getting on their clothes. They are typically three-quarter-length coats of a very rich material and deep in color, with cuffs. While they may not be readily available in stores anymore, you may find them in secondhand clothing shops or you can get a tailor to make one for you. It is a fun way to add a level of authenticity in class to your smoking experience. About the author: Jeff Lakie is the founder of Information a website providing information on Cigars

How to Entertain with Cigars
Knowing how to entertain with cigars is the perfect prelude to business. There's an old adage: "a cigar is just a cigar, but a good cigar is a smoke." If you've ever puffed on a premium robusto, corona or Churchill, you know exactly what that statement means. Nothing quite compares to the fresh bouquet of the fine brown tobacco wrapper, the spicy or peppery taste that fills your mouth as you puff, the meditative feeling that comes over you as you watch swirls of smoke waft through the room. Cigars have always been associated with success, accomplishment and conquest. In fact, one of the highlights of the BLACK ENTERPRISE Pepsi Golf and Tennis Challenge continues to be the annual smoker in which some of the nation's richest and most powerful African Americans engage in banter, comradeship and deal making while puffing on coronas and sipping cognac. by Robb Capielo 04-04-2006
New Humidor Tips
Cigars cannot be placed into a brand new humidor and be expected to stay fresh. Why? Unless it is properly prepared, there is not an adequate amount of humidity inside your humidor. That said, here are instructions on how to prepare a new humidor. Using a paper towel or a soft cloth, wipe down the entire inner surface of the humidor, including the inside of the lid, with distilled water. It is crucial that only distilled water be used for this since water drawn from any other source will contain bleach, calcium, chlorine and other chemicals and minerals that will clog your humidification unit and, worst of all, impart those flavors to your cigars.
