To smoke a cigar, first cut about 1/6 of an inch (0.3 cm) off of the end of the cigar with the wrapper on it using a cigar clipper. If you don’t have a cigar clipper, you can use a knife instead. Then, rotate the cigar and use a torch lighter or match to singe the end you didn't cut for a few seconds without letting the flame touch it directly. Try to avoid using a regular lighter since you could ruin the cigar's flavor. Once you've burned the tip a little, put the cut end of the cigar in your mouth. Then, fully light the other end of the cigar while you take light, gentle puffs. When the cigar is lit, start smoking it by drawing the smoke into your mouth and holding it there for a moment before exhaling. Don't actually inhale the smoke. Just hold it in your mouth. Remove the wrapper on the cigar when the lit end gets within 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the label. Put the lit end out and discard your cigar once it reaches just below where the wrapper used to be.

People inhale cigarettes, so why not cigars? When it comes to inhaling cigars, there’s no specific rule, and the fact is, a number of cigar smokers do inhale as well as retrohale. In the latter case, you puff on your cigar and blow the smoke out your nose. In some cases, retrohaling results in a very peppery, nose-bending, eye-opening experience. On the other hand, it can help you discover flavors that you may not taste by simply puffing and expelling the smoke. As for inhaling cigar smoke, that’s another story.  The reason cigarettes are easy to inhale is that the chemical additives in cigarettes lower the temperature of the smoke, allowing you to inhale without too much discomfort. Premium handmade cigars are an all natural tobacco product and generally a lot bigger than your average ciggy. Consequently, even in mild cigars, the smoke tends to be hotter, thicker, and if inhaled quickly, can possibly damage your lungs. For the new cigar smoker, inhaling can provoke a coughing fit of Richter scale proportions. Moreover, cigarette smokers who have either switched to cigars or smoke both have a natural tendency to inhale. A fellow I met many years ago would, in the course of a day, smoke a pack of Marlboro Red and inhale several full-bodied cigars. It just didn’t bother him. He must’ve had lungs of steel, an incredibly high tolerance to nicotine, or had no fear of ever getting lung cancer. One of the other interesting facts about tobacco is that cigarette smoke tends to absorb better in the lungs than the mouth because it is more acidic, whereas cigar and pipe smoke absorbs better through the membranes in the mouth because it is more alkaline. Traditionally speaking, inhaling is not recommended or necessary for enjoying premium cigars. If you think inhaling a cigar will provide the nicotine you crave, tobacco facts show that cigars, particularly full-bodied cigars which have more ligero tobacco, will supply plenty of it without inhaling. Other facts about tobacco show that the nicotine content of well-fermented and aged cigar tobacco is much lower on average than cigarettes. The longer the tobaccos age, the more nicotine is dissipated, which is another reason cigar smoke is better absorbed by the palate. Though the hard-core inhalers reading this post may disagree, if you want to fully enjoy a good cigar, gently pull the smoke into your mouth, let your palate pick-up the nuances of flavor, and leisurely blow the smoke out of your mouth and/or nose (see retrohaling above). If you need an extra shot of nicotine try retrohaling more often. Let’s not forget that one of the precepts of smoking cigars is to relax and de-stress as you savor the flavors and aromas of your cigar. So, try to resist inhaling. Better yet, don’t inhale at all. You may find that you have a better appreciation for your cigars, and will enjoy them more as well.

After many tests, it was a CT scan that showed COPD, emphysema and scarring in my lungs. I quit smoking 8 years ago but the damage has been done. I got to a point I couldn’t catch my breath and was coughing so hard I thought the top of my head would blow off, nothing was really working to help my condition. Finally i started on COPD herbal formula i purchased from NewLife Herbal Clinic, i read alot of positive reviews from other patients who used the COPD herbal treatment. I used the herbal remedy for 7 weeks, its effects on COPD is amazing, all my symptoms gradually faded away, i breath very more freely now! (Visit www. newlifeherbalclinic. com ) I recommend this COPD herbal formula for all COPD/Emphysema sufferers Megan Flores Reply Kenneth Kidd 5 years ago I smoked a cigar for the first time.

Reply Steve Nylander 4 years ago You have an asterick that there is no reference for, Gary Korb. Reply Anthea Yasser 3 years ago I don’t know why people say you shouldn’t inhale. It doesn’t take long to get used to inhaling cigar smoke. I have inhaled cigars since I was 14 years old – it’s the most amazing feeling ever. Don’t forget, it’s only the smoke hitting the back of your throat which gives you a cough reflex – you can hold the smoke in your lungs all day without any desire to cough. I’d bet it will take most people less than 10 puffs to learn to inhale a full-bodied cigar – take a deep draw, then inhale quickly – resisting the urge to cough and then inhale lots of fresh air after. From there, you’ll get the most amazing feeling and you won’t have any urge to cough at all – you can literally hold the smoke in your lungs for as long as you want. Then exhale slowly – again, you’ll have no urge to cough at all.

Reply Angela Waterford 3 years ago I think I might buy a tobacco supply for cigars if they can release a very peppery eye-opening experience for me. Thanks for adding that cigarettes are easy to handle so I might decide to try something new. Since cigar and pipe smoke absorbs better, I might enjoy the experience so I’m curious to try it out.
