Few things are as satisfying and relaxing as leaning back in a comfortable chair and smoking a nice cigar, letting the rich aroma and great taste help you relax. Those who are new to smoking cigars are going to have quite a few questions when it comes to the proper etiquette and methodology involved.
When people first get into the hobby of cigar smoking, they will find that there is a lot to learn especially when it comes to getting the proper pipe lighter for their cigar, choosing the perfect cutter, and even the etiquette that goes along with smoking.
Consider the band on the cigar. Is it right to leave the band on? Well, this depends on a couple of things. If you are simply having a quiet evening at home alone and you want to light up, there is no problem with leaving the band on the cigar. Keep in mind though that if you keep the band on when you are smoking among friends who are cigar aficionados or at a public place, leaving on the band could be thought of as a breach of etiquette. Why would something as simple as a band on a cigar matter?
The label of the cigar can tell the knowledgeable cigar smoker everything about the cigar, as well as a little bit about you. The label will show the brand that you are smoking and this in turn can tell others the cost of the cigar. Those individuals that are unable to pay as much for a cigar may feel a twinge of jealousy that you certainly did not intend. You could inadvertently cause people to form an opinion of you without them even knowing you.
The label on your cigar is very telling, and you should keep this in mind when you are smoking around others. You should be able to remove the label with very little effort on your part, and you won't cause any damage to your cigar. After you light the cigar and take the first couple of puffs, you will find that the label will loosen slightly and you will be able to pull it off with ease. Smoking cigars can be a great pastime, but you really need to put in the effort so you know all of the "rules" that go along with it.
