The perfect draw fgor a cigar should be somewhere between that of a cigarette and a drinking straw. It's just enough resistance to be noticed, but not enough to feel like work. Drawing should yeild large amounts of cool flavorful smoke that billows out when exhaled. This brings me to the next topic I'd like to discuss. First, I'd like to clear up a what I consider to be a common misconception about flavor and strength.
Many smokers mistake strength for flavor.
This usually happens to the new cigar smoker who hasn't yet developed an educated palate. This is no cause for shame, however. In my opinion, this is the best time of your smoking career. It's realizing that you've finally been able to distinguish the subtle difference between woodiness and leather undertones in a cigar. When you can detect changes in a cigar's flavor after smoking it halfway, or know that a cigar needs a bit more aging by its taste means you're on the right track.
