The best tip I ever got was "For God's sake, take it out of your mouth once in a while."
It's all about going slow and not letting the cigar over heat.

1). Read, read and read some more!

2). Learn to identify the flavors in your spice rack and refrigerator - this helps develop your pallete and identify them in your cigar.

Purge, Purge Purge. I can only imagine how many cigars I would have put out when they soured, instead of enjoying em down to the nub. Tar can be nasty.

When smoking at a cigar lounge, don't stub out your cigar. Just let it sit in the ash tray and go out on its own!

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

Slowing down was important for me. I used to kill a robusto in around 20 minutes and couldn't figure out why it got harsh.

Take the cedar off and light the foot.

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.

Open your humidor, take a big wiff and savor the smell

Pushing friends down the slope is fun

I do this at least once a day! It's a sickness.
