How to smoke a cigar in good condition

How to smoke a cigar is a crucial issue when enjoying a cigar. It is also a process that directly reflects the taste, taste and aroma of the cigar. Many novices are at a loss when faced with a lit cigar. They do not have a good mentality and method to control it, and questions arise again. How to experience those wonderful moments that Lao Tie mentioned? How to deal with an eggplant with ease? In summary, it is very simple: from quantitative change to qualitative change, practice and experience. Often a cigar in good condition is placed in front of us. After the rituals of lighting, cutting and so on, we officially enter the smoking stage.

When smoking a cigar, first of all, for novices, don’t be dominated by the stories spread about the cigar, the size you see, and the mystery it creates. Trying is the only correct way. If you don’t feel confident, you have already failed. Entry size has been introduced before. The main thing about smoking cigars is to master the method, practice it, and then explore different ways that suit you. There is no fixed model. For example, I like to hold the cigar in my mouth until the last 1/3 and take small puffs according to my breathing rate. Maybe it’s due to the influence of smoking a pipe? Keep your mind calm, just like you usually eat a bowl of rice, noodles, or a piece of steak. If you learn the tricks of chopsticks and master the coordination of a knife and fork, the rest will not be difficult.

Cigar smokers should be confident. Elegant posture, decent and generous. Newcomers must not only master the method of inhalation, but also the posture of holding the eggplant is important. The correct posture will affect the quality of smoking to some extent. A decent posture will also add glory to yourself as a smoker. Generally, the cigar is held with the index finger (a cigar with a slightly thicker ring diameter) can be held with two fingers, three fingers, or four fingers, whichever is more comfortable. However, the burning end should be facing downwards, forming a certain obtuse angle with the parallel ground. The angle should be comfortable for you. Firstly, holding the wrapper in this way saves effort and is not artificial. Secondly, the burning hot air moves upwards, which can preheat the wrapper leaves that are about to be burned, reducing uneven burning or uneven burning of the wrapper caused by excessive differences in temperature and humidity. The fried and preheated eggplant leaves will also emit some cellar aroma.

When you officially start smoking a cigar, the first puff is often not about inhaling but exhaling into the cigar. That is to say, blow out the miscellaneous gas that remains in the eggplant body due to the high temperature during ignition, wait for ten seconds and then take the first puff (to slightly cool down the burning eggplant leaves). If conditions are limited, use wood chips to ignite it and smoke it. Exhale the smoke quickly and try not to feel the smell.

? The knowledge of how to smoke a cigar is actually a process of temperature control. When the temperature is high, stop to maintain a uniform heat output. This is actually similar to the principle of smoking a pipe. Master two key points: suction frequency and suction intensity. In addition to your ability to adapt to the substances produced after the eggplant leaves are burned, your ability to control an eggplant is your ability to control the burning temperature of the eggplant leaves. A puff of cigarette can give you two feelings. This is the difference between a novice and an old smoker. If you are a novice, no matter how many cigarettes you have smoked or how long you have been smoking, start from scratch now, throw away the bad habits of smoking cigarettes, and do it step by step. Once you are on the road, you can jump or fly as much as you want. In fact, most novices can understand the puffing frequency. There are many explanations on the Internet. It is nothing more than the interval between each puff to cool down the high-temperature burning eggplant leaves. When the temperature is suitable, take the next puff and pinch the watch. It is very easy. thing. However, what is more difficult for novices to experience the good taste is the few seconds of smoking and the stage before the smoke is exhaled in the mouth. The intensity of the suction directly affects the temperature at which the tomato leaves burn in the next few seconds, and the temperature directly affects the flavor produced by the burning of the tomato leaves. When it comes to this, we have to talk about how the good aroma and bad taste of an eggplant are produced. Simply put, the spicy, pungent and bitter taste are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons produced by the burning of tobacco tar. These substances in tobacco tar appear at 500 degrees Celsius, and are mostly produced at 700-900 degrees Celsius. The aroma is composed of some short-chain aromatic hydrocarbons. The ignition and boiling points are different in different forms and environments. Compared with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, the temperature produced will be lower, and they are gradually released through combustion. According to scientific research, short-chain aromatic hydrocarbons will make people Produce a sense of pleasure. However, after burning, these two substances will produce substances that are not good for the body and cause adverse reactions in the body. It depends on your tolerance. "Ashwagandha" is a manifestation of this reaction. After roughly understanding the physical and chemical properties of these substances, the intensity of suction becomes particularly critical. The correct path is to prevent the temperature from rising too quickly.

When a novice smokes a cigar, the temperature should continue to rise gradually, to feel more of the presence of short-chain aromatic hydrocarbons, to avoid a sharp rise in temperature and being sucked into the embrace of tar too quickly. Therefore, when suctioning, you should keep the inhalation intensity even (even suction time and intensity) and inhale gently. On the contrary, short and powerful pulling and sucking will only bring about a cliff-like experience. Try to capture the taste of the first half of the puff, and stop inhaling when you feel the temperature changes too quickly or too high. During the inhalation process, use the tip of the tongue to feel the sweetness brought by the tobacco; after inhaling the tobacco, wrap the half of the smoke around the upper and lower lips and the front half of the tongue, and then let the tongue move up, down, left, and right in this space to capture the tobacco feeling. Smoke molecules and particles formed after burning leaves. Then slowly and gradually exhale (do not blow smoke, especially towards people, as this is very rude and impolite). After mastering these, you can flow a little smoke to the back of the mouth to the posterior nasal cavity to feel the taste of smoke again. Those who can "minimize circulation" can retain a small amount of smoke and exhale from the nasal cavity. If novices want to feel the aroma and taste better, it is recommended to drink ice water before each puff. This can amplify the sensory stimulation and experience it better. In addition, it can remove the bad taste residue on the mouth and tongue from the previous puff. Clean your mouth. A personal tip: when you feel that the temperature of the smoke is too high or the smell makes you unhappy, stop inhaling. Blow a little smoke into the cigar gently and appropriately to eliminate the gas that exists in the cigar body after high temperature and clear the passage for the next good flavor. The price may be that you cannot hold the ash too long and wait a few more seconds before the next puff. Second. Speaking of holding on to ashes, let me add a few words. I have always said that "holding gray is a sick mentality" is just a joke. The tight soot can more or less isolate some oxygen from entering, effectively controlling the combustion temperature. Both pipes and cigars follow the principle of "smoking cold and slow". Suitable temperature brings about wonderful physical and chemical changes.

I wrote this in my spare time, but actually I just want to better open the door to the cigar world to new people. It’s just for teaching newbies. There are various methods and different physical constitutions. It varies from person to person. After all, some people like the pleasure and feeling of big mouthfuls. Anyone who is not stupid will draw inferences from one instance and bring out some experiences for everyone's reference only. Our knowledge is limited. We also welcome the guidance and testimonials from our seniors and fellow friends, so that we can make up for the shortcomings in the future.

The process of smoking cigars is like cooking a delicacy, which is different for everyone. Stewing over low heat is a mood with long-lasting flavor, and stirring over a strong fire is an art.
