The Finger Pointing

Of course, here’s the nit picking:

  • Smoking a Robusto in less that 1 hour seems really hard
  • Just because something is maduro doesn’t mean it’s full. There are probably more mild maduros available than there are full.
  • Most beginners prefer milder cigars at first, but the graph basically tells beginners to completely avoid more full-body cigars. It’s wrong to assume all beginners will dislike a more powerful cigar.

The Good Stuff

Avoiding Zippos is a good tip – the lighter fluid will give the cigar a funky smell/taste. People use torches because butane is flavor/odorless. The same advice goes for swisher, black n mild, and white owl – these are hardly cigars.

And remember: The cut end always goes in your mouth!
