Why should you be so particular about smoking cigars? Can't it be as casual as cigarettes?

As we all know, cigars and cigarettes belong to the same plant, tobacco, but cigarettes are universally popular all over the world, while cigars are more popular among some middle- and high-level consumers.

So what is the approximate difference between cigars and ordinary cigarettes? Let us briefly talk about it below. For example, cigarettes are not so demanding on process and production quality. In today's technological society, they can be mass-produced and sold by machines. And the product cost is far lower than cigars.

But cigars are exactly the opposite. Compared with cigarettes, cigars have much higher requirements for cultivation, production and processing than cigarettes. Cigarettes can be mass-produced by machines, but cigars prefer traditional hand-made manufacturing, because if you want to produce a good cigar, it must be made by hand. Although machines can replace it, the odor of the machine will be greatly increased. to mix the aroma of cigar leaves. thereby reducing the quality of its cigars.

And smoking cigars is also very particular. If your operation method is improper, you will not be able to appreciate the charm of cigars, and it will be a great pity to waste a good product that you spent money to buy. There is a very strict ritual for tasting cigars.

I know a good friend from Cuba.

I once had the honor to witness the smoking ceremony of a real cigar at his home.

1. First, use a cigar brush to gently brush the surface of the cigar from top to bottom to remove impurities produced during the curing process.

2. Then use cigar scissors to cut off the cigar cap. (In A World Without Thieves, the one where Ge You cuts off his younger brother’s fingers is considered a type of cigar cutter.)

3. It is correct to light a cigar without a lighter, but it is actually correct to light a cigar with a match. Also a mistake. The correct ones should be lit with cedar sticks. This way you can ensure the original flavor of the cigarettes. Another thing to note is that when lighting, the cross section of the cigar must be lit, and it is best to make the cross section and the flame vertical.

Cigar smoke does not have any combustion accelerants or chemical flavors added, so you need to turn the cigar up, down, left and right to make it burn. This kind of performance is similar to a fancy bartending performance. There is a bit of suspicion of showmanship. The whole process is probably like this. This is actually to express respect for smokers and cigarettes.
