Cigar Accessories
An age old custom, cigar smoking is a premium and often elite technique which requires years of practice and the best in cigar accessories to garner the best experience.
From preparation to the finished product, there are quite a few things to ensure are in place when you light up and afterwards as well so here are a few of the basic essentials for the longevity of your cigars.
Cigar Humidors
The tobacco in cigars is almost always of an exquisite and top quality but if they’re exposed to the elements, you could notice that they lose their moisture and therefore are far less satisfying per smoke.
As a cigar is vulnerable to cracking and generally drying out, there’s always the risk that not smoking it straight away without storing it in a humidor will shorten its lifespan and cost you money. However, a humidor will keep their moisture and therefore pleasant taste.
Cigar Cutters
You no doubt will have seen in any classic Hollywood film a character first cutting their cigar before lighting. This is done with cigar cutters and is a fundamental part of the smoking experience.
By using a cutter to remove the cap of your cigar as opposed to other amateur means, there are many benefits with the primary of these being that you’ll have a more consistent smoke. It’s never advised to use scissors and you certainly wouldn’t have seen Marlon Brando using a pair!
Cigar Cases
Much like generally smoking cases, these are typically more popular for style but as its more important to keep the tobacco in a cigar more regulated than that in a cigarette, the need for a case is greater. As well as providing a place to store your cigars (although don’t be tempted to bunch them closer together), they can prevent drying out and also just add an extra element of style to your experience.
If you require any further information on cigar accessories, be sure to consult an online tobacco shop that can help you with your needs.
