There was a time when cigars were a style statement of manliness. Still, now, there are lots of men who regard cigars as the manifestation of their manliness. Once a young man toasted farewell to his adolescence by igniting a cigar which was dropped out of his father’s pocket. That is the grandeur of cigar smoking which many think is safer than cigarette smoking. Winston Churchill, the former British Prime Minister, was also a very fond cigar. His love of cigars was so deep that a cigar is specially named after him and it is called “The Churchill cigar”.
Now, if you are just starting cigar smoking, then you will have no idea about what is a good cigar and how to identify it. In order to help you out with your confusion of choosing the right cigar, here are 4 pro tips that will certainly help you.
A Long Ash
If you are smoking a good quality cigar then it will accumulate at least an inch of ash before falling down on the ground. However, when you move your hand to widely and frequently then this may not be happening. After falling, the ashes should leave a cone shape behind because of the high-quality centre leaves which provide you the taste of the cigar will burn slowly. A good-quality cigar in richmond will have plenty of noticeable cones when you tap off the ash in the ashtray.
Consistency in Burning and Taste
When you go through a box of cigars, each should taste and burn exactly like the previous one you smoked from that box. Heat-burn like feeling or a harsh bitterness, or even a tendency to go out in any of them will indicate that all of the cigars in the box do not contain consistently aged tobacco.
An Even Burn
The cigar you will be smoking should burn evenly. What I mean with that is it will burn evenly all the way down to the finish, If there isn't a consistent burn then it wasn’t rolled consistently.
The Seamless Draw
If the cigars in the box are packed too tightly with tobacco then it will be hard for you to draw them out. But that will mean less flavour and more smoke. However, if it is packed too loosely then you will get an easy draw and also a much harsher taste with a much hotter burn.
Next time when you go out to buy cigars from a cigar store in Richmond and light it up, make sure you look for these signs to make sure that you have bought the right product.
