Smoking is great, but what about afterwards? More often than not you’ll end up smelling like smoke – which isn’t very pleasant. So how do you get rid of the smoke, to have your clothes smelling fresh? First of all, we want to state that if you want to get the smell out of your clothes in a hurry, there aren’t many options out there. Most scents need a while to soak in, or to wash out the unpleasant smell. However, in a tight spot you can try using cologne that works with the smoke, so it seems as though the scent has smoky undertones, rather than a scent that clashes and makes it obvious that ..read more

You’ll find plenty of articles online telling you how to light your cigar, how to store it, clip it, and what-not. They all tell you what to do, but what about the things you shouldn’t do? Here’s a short list. Don’t put it in your pocket In the famous words of Harry Potter character Alastor Moody, “Don’t put your wand there, boy! What if it ignited? Better wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know.” If a wand can do that to a wizard, what’s an ordinary human being with a cigar? Of course, that refers to a lit cigar. Keep it in your hand, put it in your mouth, place it on the floor – just n ..read more

Smoking after a meal is a common enough practice – and so is smoking during a meal. A cigar aficionado knows that while doing so, the cigar has to be picked carefully, to make sure it complements the food instead of masking (or getting overpowered by) it. However, if you’re new to cigar smoking, we’ll give you a quick run-down of how it works. Cigars vary in strength, and a strong cigar is capable of completely masking food with a mild flavor. In the same vein, a heavy, flavourful meal will completely overpower the flavor of a mild cigar. You may think that the taste of food and the flavor of ..read more

In movies, when the hero smokes, he looks the picture of manliness – classy, graceful and sexy. We all aspire to mirror that image when we smoke. However, if you’re new to the world of cigars, you might find yourself fumbling, and ruining your cigar. If you don’t want to end up with a badly cut, dismantling, or unevenly lit cigar that makes you fuss, read on. The process of smoking a cigar begins with cutting (or ‘trimming’) it. This is where you neatly cut off a small part of the side that goes into your mouth. A lot of factors need to kept in mind while doing this, which is why we’ve covered ..read more

Trimming a cigar is an art, there’s no doubt about it. To snip a bit off, large enough to draw from, yet small enough to prevent pieces of tobacco falling into your mouth, isn’t nearly as easy as it sounds. There are specialized tools made for this very purpose, but if you find yourself without one, there are still many ways to trim your cigar. There are methods involving ballpoint pens, scissors, knives, and various other tools that can cut or puncture. However, the simplest and most efficient method – not to mention the most respectable – is to simply pop the cap off, trimming the cigar perf ..read more

#1: White ash is an indicator of a good cigar This is a fairly common myth. People believe that a good cigar will have a white ash, and that the lack thereof indicates inferior quality. This is, without doubt, a myth. The colour of a cigar’s ash is in no way indicative of its overall quality. White ash looks beautiful and classy, which might have led to the myth’s origin as it was preferred by people of a higher status. So, what causes white or grey ash? According to experts , it is caused due to the minerals present in soil. Soil composition varies from place to place, and if the tobacco pla ..read more

A cigar-shaped asteroid was observed passing close to the Earth, and that has sparked discussionamong scientific circles. Normally, it would be assumed that the structure was an asteroid, but a normal asteroid wouldn’t be able to maintain the shape for very long, due to collisions and aerodynamics. There’s a reason the planets are all round. In addition, according to the Breakthrough Listen blog, an interstellar spacecraft would ideally be shaped like a cigar or a needle, “to minimize friction and damage from interstellar gas and dust”. So, the public, eager to believe in the existence of ext ..read more

We would strongly discourage you to smoke a moldy cigar, because some types of mold are toxic. However, if you find mold on your favourite cigars, don’t despair, for there is still hope! First off, you need to understand the difference between mold and ‘plume’. Mold looks fuzzy,can be green, yellow, white, grey or blue in colour, and is undesirable. Plume, on the other hand, is white and looks spider web-like, and is an indi ..read more
