A cigar’s strength typically refers to its nicotine content—and the effect that may have on any particular adult cigar smoker. A mild cigar should not have much of an effect, while stronger cigars may bring about a nicotine buzz, dependent upon an individual’s tolerance level.

Careful to never let the cigar and a hard flame touch, slowly rotate your cigar at an angle over your choice lighter. Use butane lighter made specifically for cigars and avoid using odorous substances like candles or any oil-fueled lighters that can compromise the cigar’s taste.

A cigar humidor is essential to maintain quality while storing for later use, and investing in a travel case will help your cigars maintain quality away from home. Travel cases often have space for other essential accessories, like the perfect cigar cutter and lighter to round out your collection.
