CLE cigars. The guy that started CLE was the owner of Camacho, after he sold it to Davidoff he started another cigar company. The CLE Chele is a favorite that I buy by the box.

Carillo cigars. The guy who owned El Credito (La Gloria Cubana) sold it to General Cigars and went and started his own company. The Carillo "New Wave" corona is a favorite that I buy by the box.

Davidoff. Expensive but worth it. Their Short Perfecto is a favorite that I buy by the box.

If you've never smelt good tobacco before, it can be a bit troublesome to know. Generally many people like the smell of pipe tobacco over cigar smoke. I'd get something like a typical English blend and a beginner pipe, something like Peterson Standard Mixture or such, plus cleaners and a pipe tool, that way you're not out too much if you don't like it. If you can go into an actual tobacconist, try to but I understand that can be hard for many people (there isn't one around for me for 30 miles).

[Anonymous No.16095733]

>>16092909
Get a MM cob and a tamp. Try an English blend, like Peterson Standard mix, and get an aromatic blend as well (Boswell makes great aromatics. Their English blends are also lightly cased). Pipe tobacco varies widely in flavor, even when disregarding aromatics. Cigarettes taste nothing like actual tobacco.

[Anonymous No.16096814]

>>16096664
The two things for a beginner to focus on is technique and developing an understanding of flavours they prefer. Ribbon cut is often suggested because many flakes can be a bit hard for a beginner to light but honestly, it's not all that hard, and worst comes to worst, you can just rub out flake to make it easier to pack but you be the judge. I'd get a couple more English blends from other manufacturers, such as Squadron Leader from Samuel Gawith, Presbytarian Mixture, and Plum Pudding from SPC. Then I'd go into straight tobacco, so some straight virginia, etc. I'm not a fan of aromatics so I've never really explored them, other people can give you better advice. But for now, I'd just stick with the Standard Mixture and and see if you enjoy it. That way you're not stuck with a load of tobacco that you can't use.

How do I get into cigar smoking

[Anonymous No.16097800]

>>16097734
Buy a cigar and smoke it.

Joking aside, there's a few things to take note of if you want the best experience. First off, it depends on where you live. If you're in the US, Germany, etc happy days. Some places tax cigars ridiculously heavily so you need to be more careful with your purchases. For a first cigar, you want something that's well made but not too expensive and doesn't have a crazy flavour profile. Maybe you'll end up really liking a very heavy obscuro wrapped strong cigar right from the start, but most people suggest you start with something mild and middle of the road, then try other things to find out what sort of cigars you like and those you don't.

Most cigars need to be cut before lit. Machine made cigars typically don't, but they're not quite the same thing (though some like Toscano Classicos are very good, but I digress). You can get a cheap cigar cutter or punch from most places that sell cigars and that'll last you for a while. The more expensive ones will keep an edge for longer and have less difficulty in trimming cap off the cigar. Speaking of, when you're cutting a cigar, look at the end. You'll see a tiny circle of tobacco pasted over the end of the cigar. That's the cap. When you cut a cigar you want to basically make a whole in the cap. Don't cut above it, you'll remove excess tobacco and potentially cause the cigar to unravel on you as you smoke it. Using a punch is the same general thing. Pick the size hole you want and punch it into the cigar. Typically you want a decent sized one, there's debate about what size hole is best, but for the first time, just go with once that removes most of the cap, the small punches only really come with one anyway.

When you're lighting a cigar, you basically want to first char the foot (end that you light) of a cigar and get it burning so an eighth of an inch is lit and glowing, slowly rotating and making sure it's even all around. This will help the cigar burn consistently.

[Anonymous No.16097842]

>>16097800
If the cigar starts to burn unevenly, just sit it down for a bit, and see it if evens out. If it still burns unevenly, just light the wrapper until you've evened out where it hasn't burned.

For the size of a cigar, I'd go for a robusto or corona, both are fairly normal cigar sizes and should last you about an hour of smoking, maybe more, maybe less. While you're smoking it, you want to take a puff maybe once a minute or so. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. But don't puff away like crazy on it or let it go out. To ash the cigar, just let the ash fall off naturally, don't tap or knock it off.

If the cigar goes out, you can relight and refresh it. Just basically light it up around the unburnt tobacco and then hold it up to a flame and blow gently. That'll ignite some of the gases within the cigar and it'll taste better afterwards.

If you haven't smoked cigars before, even if you smoke cigarettes or such, I'd make sure I was drinking it with something sweet. A soda, or juice, or coffee with sugar or such. Cigars do contain a lot of nicotine and even someone like me who has been smoking pipes for years got some nicotine nausea from my first few cigars when I was getting into them properly. Alternatively smoke them after a meal, or have a sweet thing to eat with some unsweetened drink. A bit of chocolate or such. The sugar will help counteract the nicotine.

Don't inhale cigars. Just take the smoke into your mouth, taste it and blow it out. There's all sorts of tricks you can do to taste it better but for now, just relax and enjoy the smoke. When it comes to the end of the cigar, just put it down and let it go out, or if you want to keep smoking it in the nub, you can.

Price point, you'll want to go for around a five to ten dollar cigar as a first one as this is cheap enough that if you don't like it, it's not a loss, but good enough that it'll have decent construction. Bundle cigars can often not smoke well and need a bit of fiddling.

If you can, go to a proper tobacconist and ask them for a recommendation. If you're lucky enough to have an actual cigar lounge, it's a good place to try one out with someone to help you light it and show you the ropes. However, if you can't, there's plenty of places online that send you cigars. If you want to order more than one, just get a small selection of cigars around that price point, maybe some bundle cigars to try out and broaden your taste into different things.

Now, if you think you like cigars, and you want to have some around whenever you want, you'll want to get a humidor of some kind. If you want a cheap one, get a air tight container of some kind (if plastic, make sure it's food safe, and air it out before hand), and a boveda pack of the right humidification, plus a hygrometer. Cigars have to be kept at the right humidity to avoid them drying out and loosing their oils, that's why you want to keep cigars in a humidor and not just, say, stuck in a desk or such. Now, if you live in a place where it's regularly high humidity, this may actually work out alright, but why risk it? Furthermore, cigars can actually get too humid and this will make them harder to light, harder to smoke, burn hotter as they do smoke, etc. It's a bit of a meme but boveda packs really do help with this and while the people who make them really don't like it when people mention it, you can rehumidify them by soaking them in distilled water for a few days. Stick your cigars into container, add the boveda pack and the hygrometer. You want somewhere between 65 and 72 humidity though again there's argument about what's the precise humidity you want and how different cigars from different regions react, etc. Point is, if it's in that zone, the cigars are fine. Traditional humidors are fine too, but they're less stable and you'll need to watch and make sure the humidity stays correct in them more often as they're not air tight. I have a small traditional desktop humidor...

...where I keep cigars that I want to smoke soon or whenever and I keep the rest stored in food containers for long term storage. If you get a wooden desktop humidor, you'll need to season it first so the wood has the right moisture content. Again, loads of ways to do this, I'd say just buy the suitable boveda and chuck it in, then stick the cigars in afterwards with the proper 65/69/72 pack.

One final bit of advice. When you order cigars, they can go through humidity/temperature changes in transit and even if stored perfectly at the shop can end up being a bit off when they get to you. You want to rest cigars when you get them through the post, at least for a day. Some people say a week, some people say a month, again lots of debate, but a lot of the time there is a notable difference between a cigar smoked the day it arrives and one smoked a week later in flavour and ease of smoking. If you build up a stash of cigars over time, it shouldn't be a hardship to wait.

If you're getting into cigars that much, you may want to look into a dedicated lighter and a better cutter. Honestly most methods of lighting will work fine. The thing you want most is a consistent, easy to maintain flame. I used a candle for a good few months because I lit my pipes with matches and a zippo lighter. Now I've got another butane lighter which produces a soft flame that I use for cigars and pipes. I don't think there was anything wrong with the zippo, it just wasn't easy to light a cigar with and matches burn out too quickly to do that consistent light. But again, that's not neccesary.

This is a pretty comprehensive series of posts here, and it really is as easy as sticking it in your mouth and lighting it up if you want it to be, but for most people, this is everything you need to know about getting into cigars. Don't overthink it too much.

You seem like you know a lot about cigars, what are your thoughts on using cedar spills to light them? I know lighters can fuck up the flavor and burn the cigar if you use them wrong

[Anonymous No.16097979]

>>16097964
I've tried it on a lark, and basically never got great results with it. It basically was like using matches. Maybe it would work better on smaller cigars like panatellas, but for me, they just burnt out too quickly. As for the lighter thing, this is again something of debate, but most people will be lighting their cigars with a lighter and there's all sorts out there. As for the flavour being impacted, I lit my pipes with a zippo for years and only got a faint whiff of fluid that faded almost instantly at the most. As long as you're running clean butane and lighter fluid and not using a zippo with petrol or such in it, I personally think most people aren't going to be able to tell.

I've been pipe smoking for seven years and there's literally nothing wrong with corn cob pipes. They're absolutely fine and for the price per performance they're absolutely the best. Why, if someone isn't sure they like smoking pipe tobacco, would you tell someone to pay £50 for a briar? I've never paid that myself; all of my briars are factory seconds aside from a GG Poker which, while nice, doesn't smoke any better than a corn cob (and bought second hand but unused for less than retail cost). You seem to have a really weird idea. I've also never burnt out a pipe and I started with a cheap briar but to be quite frank if I had to do it again, I would go for a Missouri Meerschaum.

>>16105603
Seasoning a humidor just means you're getting the wood to the right humidity level so when you put cigars inside it doesn't suck up the moisture and dehydrate them. I have never, in my life, heard of anyone using spirits to season a humidor and I imagine that's a great way to fuck up both the humidor and any cigars you put in it.

There's plenty of people who put a small container of liquor in their humidor. It is not shown to fuck up the humidor and usually infuses the cigars with the flavor of the liquor.

When did I act 'like a nigger'? I have never heard of anyone pouring spirits directly into a humidor. Furthermore, if you want to smoke a cigar that tastes like whisky, then the intensity of the whisky flavour will be entirely based on how much whisky is in the cigar itself. Of all the ways of infusing a whisky flavour into a cigar, putting them into a humidor that's had spirits poured into it seems like one of the silliest ways to do it, especially if you keep the cellophane on. If you want to intensify the flavour, I'd suggest buying bundle cigars of a decent quality and look for ways to directly infuse them, rather than ruin a humidor by slugging whisky or rum inside of it (also a waste of the spirits there).

>>16106661
Smoking pipes isn't just done through briar. Briar makes good pipes and aside from one clay pipe, all of mine are briar but for a pipe, mechanical function is the crucal importance for a good smoke. If the pipe draws well without issues then it is good for smoking. More expensive pipes only exist for 1. the grade of the wood involved. 2. The brand of the pipe in question and 3. The quality of workmanship and further embellishment, etc. An old Dunhill pipe that's never been smoked and has laid untouched since the 1920s with the craftmanship and high grade of briar does not transform tobacco into something amazing. The tobacco smoked in that pipe and a MM Corn Cob will by and large taste the same. The Dunhill will probably be of a higher standard of manufacturing but both pipes will provide a perfectly pleasant, easy smoking experience and I have smoked very expensive pipes from time to time. They are well made, but smoke about the same as mine. For a beginner, it's far better to start on a cheaper, consistently made pipe that performs well, and MM fits the bill perfectly. Furthermore, again, he doesn't know if he likes tobacco or not, so if it turns out it's not for him, he can chuck it out without feeling like he's lost money.

Because an MM is superior to a briar for the same price range. An MM can be had for ten dollars or less. A new briar pipe of the same dimensions cannot. Furthermore there is nothing that smoking a briar teaches you that an MM does not. If you smoke hot enough to burn out a briar, you'd be smoking too hot to properly taste the tobacco in an MM. And again, this is for someone who doesn't even know if they like smoking. If someone likes pipe tobacco and knows they're going to be smoking for a long time, then sure. Buy a mid range briar. My point on the Dunhill comparison was to show you that even the most expensive, high end pipes don't smoke that better or require a different technique than the lower end one. People who actually own and smoke pipes know that sometimes the more expensive ones can smoke poorly due to all manner of reasons and sometimes a cheap basket pipe you pick up because you want a pipe that you can not care too much about ends up being a fantastic smoker. The main concern when looking for a pipe when starting out is finding one that smokes well and for that, you want consistency in manufacture, and MM is very consistent at producing a good smoking pipe. Tell me, what does smoking in a briar teach you, or improve upon an MM that for someone who doesn't even know whether they'll enjoy smoking justifies spending 50 dollars plus on? And this isn't a 'poorfag' thing. If you had to spend that money to get a good pipe, I'd suggest spending that money. But to be frank from my own experience and from the experience of other pipe smokers I know and everyone I've seen online, this just isn't the case. Furthermore he's likely in the US. MM can easily be found everywhere in the US.

>>16106793
It does make a point because if your concern is solely with the smoking of tobacco and nothing else then you will get the same amount of enjoyment out of a MM corn cob and that Dunhill. The low end versus the highest end. That was the comparison I was making.

No, I don't. I don't even own a single one. And that fact is true. If all you care about is the mechanics of it and just want to smoke pipe tobacco, then you can't go wrong with an MM. If the pipe draws well and is mechanically sound then if you put the same tobacco packed and smoked by the same person, both will be perfectly fine. Yes, a Dunhill will almost certainly be a fantastic smoker right out of the box and a flawless example of craftsmanship. But high end pipes don't elevate the smoking experience itself. There is no magic transmutation of smoke and someone starting out wouldn't even know what to look for anyway. A beginner's pipe needs to be tough enough to stand up to the rigours of someone learning to use it, mechanically good so that it presents no issues as he learns to pack and smoke and cheap enough that if he drops it and mars the finish or damages it in some other way, or he loses it, he won't feel too bad about it and that he feels it's it's in the 'cheap enough that it doesn't really matter if I buy it or not' category. You also didn't answer my question. What does a briar pipe teach a beginner that an corncob or, even a pear wood or similar cheap pipes, doesn't?

I never said "besides" the flavour, you said the and your, not surprisingly wrong.
Briar does affect the flavour, it affect the way you have to pack it, how frequent you can puff, the weight, the maintainance, the temperature of smoke, etc. In a nutshell it affect how you smoke.
Both the tobacco *and* the pipe shape/material affect the smoking. Again I can't understand how you infer that i wasn't talking about the flavour.

What you learn with a MM is not transferible to a briar, it makes you pick up bad habits, which is why is not a good advice suggest to start with a corncob

Those are not bad habits, i was explaining what I meant with "Smoking pipe is not only about tobacco".
Tobacco does the greatest difference but the pipe does a substantial difference too.

The way you do those on corncob is different enough that make me suggest to not start with a cob, despite the price.
For example cobs require a tighter packing and a different puff cadence, so you basically learning how to smoke two times with the difference that you will eventually switch to a briar.
Cob is a good pipe for someone who already know how to smoke a pipe

I don't mean to be abrasive but I don't feel that's not true. Yes, MM are a pseudomeerschaum, but that doesn't change much when it comes to smoking and cadence. A large briar pipe will smoke different to a pocket one, but the same basic principles remain the same. Now sure, the size of the pipe, the size of the bit and such can affect the smoke, but for most people, you'll not have any real difference in it. It does affect it the smoke, and I prefer a smaller bowl for flake for instance, for by and large for most people it's a mechanical difference and a corn cob with the same dimensions of a briar and the same bit will smoke practically the same. And none of that really comes down to the material of the pipe. The only real difference is that a briar pipe will absorb flavours of the tobacco due the oils, when you're starting out, and once the cake develops that carbon too will absorb oils but in terms of pure mechanical pipe smoking, I don't see any real difference. And again, this is for people who have never smoked a pipe before, who treat it the same as buying a can of pop or not. If you are being sincere, then I do appreicate the fact that you suggest a briar pipe, but there really is nothing wrong with a MM Corncob. And let's not forget, there are many different sizes and bowl types available.

It does make some difference. The basic principles remain the same if you already know how to smoke.

All your post start with the assumption of a person that already knows how to smoke a pipe. You can switch between different shapes/lenght and different type/cuts of tobacco easily (or with some minor effort) because you know how to smoke a pipe.


The whole point of my posts was that starting with a cob is not a good recommendation.
It would have make sense if you could judge smoking pipes on the first try, but it's not.
Generally it takes like a month of trying in order to have a smoking session that isn't horrible (wrong packing, wrong lit, puffing too often, puffing too few, when and how to use a pipe companion, toungue bite that need a couple of days off, ... )
You better start with a briar at this point and briar pipe are the common pipe (and are better than cobs)

> And none of that really comes down to the material of the pipe.
We do not agree here.

> but there really is nothing wrong with a MM Corncob
I never said that. It is inferior to briar, sepiolite (and olive for some kind of tobacco). I said that suggesting to start with cob "to understand if he likes smoking pipe" is not a good advice.
Once you learn how to smoke a briar, it's ok to buy a cob, I always have a cob myself for backup

This subject has been talked about for two days and accounts for nearly a quarter of the thread, can we move on to something else now?

I think we should talk about why the fuck this thread is allowed to exist since it has nothing to do with cooking.

So what's the best pan for cooking a cigar? carbon steel or cast iron? I've tried cast iron but it keeps sticking like a motherfucker. I tried seasoning it with spittle from my chaw and it helped a bit but not enough. any advice anons?
>inb4 le creuset
don't be stupid, enameled cast iron is just cope from panlets

I prefer stainless but it really depends on your cigar wrapper

Is it very much a thing. The problem here is that the person he is accusing isn't using reddit spacing.

I got given some old cigars by someone at work, he thinks he bought them about 30 years ago. They've not been stored well and are really dry, do cigars that old just need binning or is there a way to bring them back to smokable condition?

you need to boil them for about 10 minutes, or until al dente, whichever comes last. add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil (made from ugly olives lol) and 3 tablespoons of sea salt to the water.

They're Swisher Sweets, not sure what wrapper they have. I'll try it again later today, maybe I just need to get the skillet hotter before I add the cigars.

How cheap are the illegal Chinese cigarettes in the antipodes?

If they’ve been stored at low humidity for 30 years straight I’d say that there’s no way to make them smoke like they should. There could also be dry mold/rot in there, so I would just throw them out

it's be a real shame if this worthless off-topic thread slid off. a real damn shame. I mean it might make space for a secret aardvark thread or a cast iron thread.
