Choose a cigar you want to smoke
Cut the cap with a cigar cutter
Light the cigar with a butane lighter or wooden match
Toast the foot of the cigar evenly
Draw gently while rotating the cigar
Keep the cigar lit with slow, steady puffs
Do not inhale the smoke into your lungs
Let the ash form naturally
Tap off ash only when it is ready to fall
Rest the cigar between puffs to avoid overheating
Put the cigar out when finished by letting it go out on its own
