How to Relight and Rest a Cigar
A relit cigar can be every bit as rewarding as the first light, provided you rest it, clear the stale smoke and reintroduce the flame with patience. Here is the considered approach to setting a cigar down and bringing it back to life.
10 Beginner Cigar Mistakes to Avoid
The most common beginner cigar mistakes are simple to fix: rushing the light, inhaling, smoking too fast and cutting too deep. Master these ten habits and every cigar you draw on will taste rounder, cooler and far more rewarding.
