Start by choosing a milder cigar, such as one with a Connecticut wrapper or milder blend of tobaccos. These will provide an introduction to the flavor profile and complexity of cigars without being too overpowering for those just starting out. 2. Make sure to cut your cigar properly; using a guillotine cutter is the best way to do this. This will ensure that you get an even burn throughout your smoke session, resulting in more consistent flavor profiles and less bitter aftertaste at the end of your cigar experience. 3. Take it slow. Cigars are meant to be enjoyed over time; savor each puff and don’t rush through it just because you want to finish quickly. The slower you smoke, the better flavors you’ll pick up from your cigar–and it also makes the experience last longer, allowing you more time to enjoy yourself!
