Smoking a cigarette or cigar should be fun. It should look pretty. Ultimately, you choose to smoke when you want to relax or unwind. So quiet, smoke slowly, have fun.
How to smoke cigarettes properly
If you already smoke, you have nice accessories for it. For example a lighter. It may not be very expensive, but like all of your belongings, it can be a reflection of your personality. An ashtray in your home, or rather several, can also be a work of art. Surround yourself with these beautiful things.
Hold the cigarette between your middle and index finger near the filter. When you take a drag don't look at the cigarette, it looks ridiculous and ridiculous. Do not leave the cigarette in your mouth for long, so do not smoke without your hands. First, it's inconvenient, second, it's not pretty, and third, smoke can get into your eyes and that's not very pleasant. Do not smoke a cigarette up to the filter.
How to smoke cigars properly
The main difference between smoking cigars and smoking cigarettes is that cigars don't drag themselves. Cigars are smoked to taste the smoke. Another difference is that it is not recommended to light cigars with petrol lighters. This spoils the aroma of the smoke.
Before smoking, cut the end of the cigar with a special knife (guillotine).
To light a cigar you have to follow a whole ritual:
- First, roll the cigar over a lit match to heat the tip evenly.
- Now put a cigar in your mouth and inhale while slowly rolling it.
- Hold the smoke in your mouth, enjoy the scent, exhale slowly.
When smoking a cigar, the ashtray is not used much, it does not smolder as quickly as a cigarette. It is also not worth putting out the cigar - after a few seconds it will die out on its own. When the cigar has run out and you want to smoke more right away, you can. If any part of yesterday's cigar is left, smoking is not recommended as the aroma is not the same and lying will create an unpleasant taste.
Traditionally, cigars are smoked after meals. With cognac or rum, the flavor combination is unique. Cigars are served in beautiful cigarette cases or in a special box for cigars that also contains a knife - a guillotine. Typically, hosts offering a cigar to a guest have several types of cigars to choose from in an open box.

It should also be equipped with a humidifier and a humidity control device. If you travel a lot or commute to work, you can also buy a small travel humidor.
