An interesting video with Halfwheel's Charlie Minato going through a cigar tasting. Cutting, lighting, tasting, and all around nice vid.

I've had one of these sitting in my Tupperdore for quite a few months now, and I'm simply afraid to smoke it because I'm afraid of screwing up the lighting process. So how do I light this thing? Do I toast it, or do I just light it up? Thanks! Really looking forward to smoking this thing...

I use a jetline windproof lighter and it never is completely orange all around there are always black spots even if I spin it while lighting.

Hello Puff users. I've been lurking for some time now, and I've finally decided to join the forum. But, you see, I'm having an issue. An issue that is absolutely plaguing me. I recently got some pipes from Missouri meerschaum. 4, to be precise. Country Gentleman, Diplomat, Eaton, and Ozark...

Being new to cigars the things I would pinpoint when rating a cigar would be, Appearance, Draw, Flavor, Burn, Enjoyment, and, Price. When i smoke i like to have somthing to drink during the first half or so to clean my pallet after every draw to get a "propper" tasting of the cigar. (I say...

really enjoying this black market, god dang.. anyways, i had a rookie mistake just now i thought i would share with you guys. I was toasting my black market robusto using matches (wooden of course) all was good though im still not 100% on how, started lighting the cigar by drawing followed by...

I was at a local B&M the other day and they had jars of cedar strips sitting on the bar. Now I had seen this before at other lounges and always just, naively, assumed they were for people to put in bags with cigars they bought similar to how some sticks come wrapped in cedar. This particular...

Damn, I just wrote out the following OP and forgot that I can't post to links yet. Please just follow the search instructions to find the YouTube videos I'd like to link to. Recently I saw a video of an experienced cigar smoker lighting up a cigar without toasting: (Go to YouTube and search...

I was in a shop today at the counter talking to one of the employees. Guy (mid-30s) and his father (I presume) walk up to the register, which also houses the store cutters and lighters. They pay for the cigars, the younger gentleman then performs what was close to fellatio on the cap and...

We have a lot of folks on here who like photography ... from the novice to the professional. So lets give a Photo Assignment thread a shot (lame photo pun intended :D) and see how it turns out! The theme for this photo assignment is Lighting. Rules: - Take a cigar related photo that you think...

You may have noticed that cigar boxes do not allow the same light pass-through as wine bottles do, rendering the bult in light on the vinodor useless. Also, for those of us that use a temperature controller, the fridge isn't powered all that much anyways. So I set about to rig something up...

Herf N Turf posted a while back that the perfecto vitola was developed so that it could be lit with a single paper match. Today I smoked a Hemingway Classic, and gave it a try. Admittedly I used a small wooden match rather than a paper one, but in my defense, it was breezy today and I didn't...

has anyone added lighting to their humidors? any suggestions or could you point me towards some good products, such as specific lights you used, links appreciated trying to figure a way to wire the humidor with small lighting and even a small computer sized fan off of one single outlet

I recently purchased a Xikar Exodus w/ Black Finish. I love the lighter, it works well. However, I think I'm experiencing the classic "Operator Error" situation. I've lit about 6 cigars with them. I can't quite seem to get an even burn on my cigars. Am I doing something wrong or do I just...

i bought a box of berger "entubar" cigars not long ago. i REALLY enjoy them as they smoke very well and have a nice consistent taste all the way through. problem with these is they can be a pain to light.:frusty: i decided to take my cutter and snip the tip of the inner roll till it was...

hey guys, i've been a pipe smoker on and off for a few years, mostly off since i just can't seem to get the packing and lighting right. Now i've got a nice quiet spot to smoke my pipe in our new house i'm trying to get my inadequacies sorted ;) I've watched quite a few pipe smoking videos on...

I know the puros use matches, what I do is use my tourch on the boot, swirl it around and then blow lightly on it (keep out pervs) then tourch again and blow (again keep out pervs) and repeat until i get a full cherry. Is this right??

Found 2 El Mejor Emerald's sitting at the bottom of my humidor, guess my brother put them in there... I started to unwrap one and found that the end was exposed, and was just curious if I need to light it differently than I would anything else?

ok ok. dont laugh. or cry. lol. yes i know i torched the crap out of it. i was more then drunk. and started staring at the flame. got side tracked.... anyway, i looked back on the video and found it amusing, though it stopped being funny once i realized it was one if my beloved liberty '07's. so...
