Signs of a Good Cigar

When looking for good cigar, there are these qualities of a cigar that a smoker must consider in order to savor what a cigar could offer.

When other things are best served when fresh, cigar and wine re-examines with this line- "the older, the tastier". The cigars must undergo the necessary process of fermentation before it could really be of "good taste".
Tobacco used in premium cigars is aged 18 to 24 months before rolling. Some manufacturers age rolled cigars an additional year before even shipping them to the distributor. As long as they are stored properly, there's no such thing as an "old" cigar.
Many people prefer "vintage" smokes. Cigars are never "fresh" in the proper definition of the word. All reputable tobacconists will store them properly, at approx. 70 deg, 70% humidity.

The general criterion of cigars that must be used in determining if it is good or bad is through the following: body, flavor and aroma. In choosing the cigar for you, these three are the elements to gauge.

Cigars come in varied flavors like Spice, Cocoa or chocolate, coffee, not or wood. They also come in different wrappers, fillers and binders.

What are the qualities of a good cigar that is worth your money?

• It burns evenly all the way down when lit; it is of good quality because if it does not, it means that it does not have a proper roll.

• The cigar produces a firm ash while smoking; it is another sign of good quality. If the cigar has a firm end, it also makes it a good one.

• The cigar is of good quality and that it is made of one hundred percent tobacco. Some cheap cigars contain more of the non-tobacco components like paper, glycerin or saltpeter.

• Say No to lumpy cigars. You could check for lumpiness by giving it a gentle squeeze. Also check the wrapper. Refrain from picking cigars that have wrapper discoloration.
