Don't buy or smoke cigars based on what the band looks like. I have found some dammn good smokes (and people) by not judging the book by the cover.

Whenever possible, Herf! A smoke among friends always tastes better.

Don't inhale.
Slow down.
Never say you hate something till you had it more then once.
Smoke with friends.
Smoke what you like, don't worry what others think of what you smoke as long as you like it.
Feel woozy eat candy.
Drink water or something else that doesn't fight with the falvor of the cigar.
Have fun with it.
Never ever spit in the ashtray. It is gross.

Did you throw a lancero into the board???

For me, probably "never let the flame touch the cigar". It does not always help, I mean a DR is a DR, but it can help from ruining a good cigar.

Some excellent tips here! Thanks again CA!

I have actually done this as i was mowing the lawn, got distracted, picked up my smoke and ......OOOOUUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHH

apart from that...if you get uneven burn, put the unburned side on the bottom so the air can get to it, to even out the burn without having to "touch it up" with your lighter...it really works.

A wise man once told me.."Smoke what you like today, tomorrow may never come."

My tip would be.. Smoke with your friends as much as possible, they keep you sane.

Smoke what you like.

Buy more storage than you need.

Get beads.

Skip PG Solution, no real use, buy distilled water.

Patience, patience, patience. Never be in a hurry with anything cigar related.

Store at a lower humidity and everything smokes better.

I am sure there are more. Oh and check the signature for one more

Don't buy from Thompson.
Don't smoke too fast.
Purge.
Snorking (took awhile, but finally got it down)
And last but not least:

Don't cut the Lusi in half.
