Why do cigars smell bad?

Byron, a romantic poet, said, "Give me a cigar and I don't want anything else." 1492, Columbus, who discovered the New World, saw cigars soaked in Latin American rain forests for the first time and called them "burning wood" in his nautical diary. Hundreds of years later, this kind of "burning wood" is not only a simple consumer product on the counter in Havana, but also a mysterious symbol that can remind people's hearts. Cigars The new world discovered by Columbus was Cuba, the capital of cigars. The unique soil and climate conditions in this land are very suitable for the growth of tobacco and the preservation of cigars, which has created this kind of tobacco with mellow quality, rich aroma and meaningful aftertaste. Cuba has been the best place for the birth of cigars since16th century. Although it was later challenged by the Caribbean, Dominica, Honduras and Mexico because of the American embargo, Cuban cigars are still the most exquisite. Cigar smoking is common in Cuba. However, cigars became a symbol of aristocratic life with the help of Europeans. Columbus and his crew brought tobacco back to Europe from the American continent, and the Spanish royal family, which strongly sponsored sailing, became the first Europeans to enjoy cigars. 183 1 year, the Spanish royal family authorized Cuba, which was then a Spanish colony, to produce tobacco, so the cigar manufacturing industry flourished in Cuba. To this day, Cuba still symbolically sends a batch of Gauxiba to the king of Spain every year. Politicians also like cigars. The big cigar named after Churchill is widely known, and the cigar in his mouth has become a symbol of the Prime Minister and a "V" gesture in wartime. Revolutionaries in South America are equally enthusiastic. Castro and Ernesto Guevara both have deep-rooted images with cigars in their mouths. Former US Vice President Thomas R.Marshall once became attached to cigars because he said that "America needs a first-class 5-cent cigar". However, the cheap cigars that appear in this "people-friendly" posture smell bad and can't enter the eyes of people who really love cigars. There is even a rumor that former US President Kennedy called the press secretary into his office before signing the Cuban trade restriction order and said, "I need a lot of cigars, about 1 000. Call your friends and try to get as many as possible. " It was not until this 1000 cigar was in hand that the president picked up a steady pen and wrote his name. People in literary and art circles who need inspiration and passion prefer cigars. Details about cigars can be found everywhere in European and American novels. In Balzac Thackeray or Dickens' novels, cigars, brandy and veal often form a lifestyle with distinctive characteristics of the times. American Dreiser, the author of Sister Carrie, often carefully buys a cigar at the cigarette shop on the corner before going home contentedly. Literati and poets' remarks about cigars have also been repeatedly mentioned. Mark Twain said, "If I can't smoke cigars in heaven, I won't go." ; Byron, a romantic poet, is even more outspoken. He once said, "Give me a cigar and I don't want anything else." Cigars have different flavors. There is an old saying in Cuba, "At the age of 30, you smoke cigars with a diameter of 30 rings, and at the age of 50, you smoke cigars with a diameter of 50 rings." It can be seen that cigars need to grow with people and need a series of complicated etiquette and rules. First of all, cigars are an art in themselves. High-quality cigars are hand-rolled, and the machine can't make fine adjustments according to the tobacco leaves. Cigars must be aged before and after production, and it takes at least two years to remove the odor and give off a pure aroma. It's just a cheap cigar that appears in this "people-friendly" attitude, and it tastes bad. In the words of musician Wagner describing cigars, "it's like the priestess of Apollo temple bathed in the warmth of the sun god in the morning." The complex technology has created the rich character of cigars. Smoking a cigar will bring artistic pleasure, and the method of smoking cigars is also very particular. Put the cigars in the cigar box for a few hours, then take out the humidified cigars and cut off the cigarette paper at the tail with delicate cigar scissors or cigar pliers. When cutting, don't cut too much at once. In that case, smoking a big cigar is easy to leak. It is best to cut a round hole with a diameter equivalent to 3/4 of the diameter of the cigar rod, and only cut a small piece of cigarette skin without cutting the core leaf. The next step is to light the cigar. It is best to use pure vegetable oil lamp, beech sawdust or sulfur-free match stick or precious pure butane gas lighter. When lighting a cigarette, put the cigar sideways close to the flame, slowly rotate it for a week and preheat it. Then get close to the flame and let it burn evenly from the edge to the center. At this time, you should gently blow back twice to eliminate the miscellaneous gas and heat flow inhaled when lighting a cigarette. After removing foreign gas and heat flow, let the taste stabilize, but take the first sip. Cigars are inhaled, sipped, chewed and puffed. Anyone who knows how to enjoy cigars knows that cigars are not inhaled into the lungs, because the nicotine and tar content of cigars is five times that of ordinary cigarettes. A more appropriate way to smoke cigars is to take a sip. Every few minutes, you will inhale cigars into your mouth, stay on your palate, taste them, and then spit them out, so that the smoke will fill you like a dream ... When smoking cigars, you don't need to play the ash often, leaving a certain length (about one inch) of ash to keep the temperature of cigars, so as to get the ideal taste. The ash of a good cigar can actually run through the end. The whole cigar has been smoked, but there is not a trace of ash. After tasting a mellow cigar, just put it next to the ashtray and it will go out automatically after a few seconds. Matching some delicious drinks is also the reason why cigars are luxurious. For example, drinks that can match Havana cigars should naturally be blue mountain coffee, burgundy red wine, scotch whisky and cognac. Because pure coffee, red wine, whisky, brandy and other drinks containing certain sugar can make the cigar taste soft and full. In men's eyes, this series of complicated cigar etiquette can make people unconsciously relieve your stress, improve your mood and extend your thinking, thus appearing calm and calm. When a thick cigar is held in your hand, the strong cigar smell is scattered in your throat, which can easily make men feel strong and sexy. Therefore, the pleasure of smoking cigars is reflected in these complicated rules and strict stress, and the demeanor of a mature man is often reflected in this leisurely process. Cigar The person who translated "cigar" into Chinese "cigar" in China is the famous poet Xu Zhimo. He found this homophonic and similar Chinese name for this burning wood with his consistent romantic feelings. "Snow" is because the ash of cigars is as white as snow, and "eggplant" is because the external color of cigars is like eggplant. Compared with Europe and America, the history of cigar smoking in China is not so long and the atmosphere is not so strong. Many people in China learned about cigars from knowing COHIBA, the favorite brand of former Cuban President Castro. He often chooses some Gao Xi cigars and signs his name as a diplomatic gift to the leaders of various countries. With the acceleration of globalization, cigars are gradually favored by Chinese people. Now, many cities have special "cigar bars" and "cigar clubs", where a group of cigar lovers often gather. Almost all the furniture in these places will be painted in the color of cigar leaves, creating a strong cigar flavor and atmosphere. They serve cigar lovers who know the art of cigars. Some cigar lovers are so obsessed with cigars that they regard smoking cigars as a meditation ceremony. A cigar bar in Beijing is full of various world brands. There are Padrón from Nicaragua, Tatuaje from Miami, famous Ashton VSG and Davidoff, and you can find your favorite brands. The price of a cigar ranges from 80 yuan to more than 400 RMB. Of course, coffee, whisky, brandy and other drinks with cigars are indispensable here. Drinks can change the taste of cigars. Some people like to dip in some wine before smoking cigars and mix the taste of wine into cigars. Senior cigar users even follow the "cigar theory", that is, they should choose different cigar brands in different enjoyment periods. There is a saying that H.UPMANN with mild taste should be chosen for the first time every day, CORONA with rich flavor and full taste should be chosen for after lunch, REY· Del Mondo should be chosen for the first time before a sumptuous dinner, Fonseca with fresh and elegant taste should be chosen for the rest, and precious Cohiba should be chosen for the unforgettable moment .................................................................................... Many moisturizing boxes are not only functional but also artistic. In a word, cigar smoking has gone beyond the simple smoking problem and become an appreciation, a kind of enjoyment and a way of life, which needs the support of experience and accomplishment. Someone said, "In the noisy world, cigars give people a chance to stop and take a nap. Cigar smoking is a mysterious force, almost like a religious ceremony. " This may be the mysterious attraction of dark brown and black Havana cigars to men.
