First CIgar, Really Excited

09-17-2010, 11:29 AM

So yesterday i went and bought my first cigar, and after my post is on i will be smoking it. I have smoked everything out there but never a cigar so i thought why not. I didnt really know what i was looking at and the shop keeper didnt help a whole lot, but i decided on something in the mid price range, a Baccarat Corona. It looked good and I think im ready after reading the how to's and so on. So here we go.

I hope you enjoy it. I have never had that cigar.

My first cigar was a oliva conn. reserve. and I have been falling down this slope ever since.

Enjoy

Don't buy expensive ones yet.
You smoked that puppy in less than an hour.
That puts you on the "you smoke fast" side of things.

I can baby a cigar for hours if I get lazy enough.

I am on the slow side for sure.

Welcome to CS and to the world of cigars.

Just wait, cigar smoking is sort of anti climatic at first. With lighting and cutting issues, and trying to pair the right drink with your cigar and all. Soon you'll get clean cuts, proper lights, and know exactly what drink your cigar needs. Let's just say you'll be visiting the Coinstar a lot.

boonedoggle · 09-17-2010, 02:49 PM

haha! That is so cool. Baccarat was my first-ever cigar too! I think it was like a Rothschild.

One step at a time now.

09-17-2010, 10:29 PM

i thought it took me a good while, the lighting of it was the hardest part because im used to cigarettes and black and milds.
is 45 minutes not that long for a cigar?

688sonarmen · 09-17-2010, 10:31 PM

Its all up to you how long you want to take, as long as it tastes good to you and you enjoy it

bobarian · 09-17-2010, 10:32 PM

That sounds about right for a rothschild or small robusto. Try and take about a puff every 45-60seconds. This allows the cigar to burn slowly and not acquire any off tastes. The main thing is to enjoy yourself and relax. Did you like it?

09-19-2010, 01:22 AM

yeah i liked it and it really was enjoyable!
