How to enjoy a cigar?
If this is your first cigar, don’t worry. A cigar can be enjoyed in several stages. Start by appreciating all its aromatic richness by smelling it just before lighting it. Use a cigar cutter for a clean cut above the corolla.
You can then take a few puffs before lighting your cigar, to appreciate it even better. Then comes a great moment of pleasure: lighting. In order to preserve the properties of the cigar, it must be made with a match or a butane lighter. Hold the cigar at right angles to the lazy end, then gently roll it until it is completely lit. Place the cigar in your mouth with the lemon still lit, but this time within 1 cm of the cigar. Take a few puffs, then check that the cigar base is well ignited by gently blowing on it.
Enjoy your cigar: take the time to savour it slowly and in small puffs. Appreciate its flavor!
If you enjoyed this moment, come all year round to our restaurant for a unique cigar tasting experience. You can also offer a cigar or a tasting as a gift to your loved ones!
