What is the right way to smoke cigars?

Nowadays people are much more concerned about their health than their ancestors used to be. Even while travelling, we don’t forget to take care of our health: we swim in a swimming pool, we go to a gym. And we, sure, quit smoking! At the same time, a lot of people do like the smell of tobacco smoke, and we can’t deny them to smoke, because they get pleasure from smoking. What should we do? There is a solution! It’ s a cigar! Smoking cigars in Istanbul hotels with smoking rooms is much less dangerous for health, and smoking cigars gives more pleasure. It’s important to know the right way to light up a cigar, to smoke and to put a cigar out. How to do it?


First step


First of all you need to cut a cigar. The end of a cigar should be cut before you light it up. Use special scissors for it or special scissors in the form of guillotine. It’s considered a bad manner to try to cut the end of a cigar with your teeth. Scissors in the form of guillotine are recommended by experts as the best. They are usually present in each Istanbul hotel with smoking rooms available.


Second step


Hold a cigar in a horizontal position and slowly move it in front of fire so that its end got totally warm. Don’t try to speed the process of lighting. Cigars take different smells easily. That’s why use only clear fire. You can do it using special cigar matches or butane lighters; they don’t create any other smell. Using a long match, made without serum, is the most romantic way to light up a cigar. You light up a match, wait until its head is burnt, and light up a cigar, holding it in a special way that will let you light it up not from the fire but from the heat.


Third step


Put a cigar in your mouth. Hold it in a horizontal position. Now light up the very end of cigar and slowly breathe in, rotating cigar at the same time. When you breathe in, don’t do it normally, don’t let the smoke go in your lungs, keep it in your mouth.


Fourth step


Give a cigar to your friend. Place a cigar-case in front of him. It should be opened, so that the other person could make his choice.


Fifth step


Don’t shake the ash off very often. They say that the cigar quality has something to do with ash. If cigar ash stays in, it means a cigar is very good. If you shake it off, how will you know if it was good?


Sixth step


Take the ring off the cigar. Keep in mind that they put the ring with their hands on a hand-made cigar with a drop of natural glue that keeps the ends of a paper ring together. A little drop of glue can get on a cigar. So, taking the ring off, you may take off the first layer of a cigar as well. Therefore, firstly, wait a little until the cigar is warm and the glue is soft, not to damage the cigar.

Well, you can fully enjoy smoking cigars in those hotels, where they have special smoking rooms. In Istanbul they are:
