How to Smoke?

Before you smoke a cigar, you have to cut it. Get a cigar cutter and insert the head of the cigar into it, around 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch from the end. To hold the cigar, grip it at its band with your thumb, index, and middle finger, and put the cigar in your mouth. Hold the end of the cigar above the lighter flame. Puff the cigar and slowly rotate the cigar for 10 to 20 seconds until the outer rim begins to glow. Puff and rotate every 30 to 60 seconds. Unlike a cigarette, the smoke of a cigar is not inhaled. You are supposed to savor the taste of the cigar smoke in your mouth and not take it into your lungs.
