Introduction to Cigars


hello everyone this is Chris with
watchmojo.com I’m here at La Casa del
hermano a fine cigar Emporium here that
has a wide variety of really interesting
cigars to to basically accommodate any
palate
tell me about cigars cuz really I don’t
know all that much and I think I think
you know there a few people out there
who’d like to be initiated so please
what most people don’t know is that a
cigar does have many stages of
preparation of selection of leaves to
create the final product for example
there are five different types of leaves
just to make one cigar the binder the
wrapper and the filler are three
components of a cigar the filler has
three different types of leaf one for
combustion one for overall aroma and
another for strength like fine wines
there are years that yield a better
harvest and and not so much as most
people know the best cigars in the world
come from Cuba but most people don’t
know why and the reason is that the
earth is the is the main reason of a
specific region in Cuba known as the
Vuelta Abajo it has a bit of what we
call a microclimate that makes it ideal
for growing the best tobacco in the
world how does one typically go about
even the act of smoking a cigar
there are various rituals involved for
beginners you choose a cigar based on
the amount of time you plan on smoking
and the strength that is let’s say that
you you have the appetite for you
wouldn’t have a very mild cigar with a
very strong libation such as a vintage
port you would like to try and marry the
strength of the cigar in the libation or
after a heavy meal you can have a
stronger richer cigar then the way you
choose to cut the cigar it can be using
the tools God gave you providing you
still have them
and or various forms of cutters and
scissors that are made for that then the
next process is to at least try inhaling
before lighting to get an idea the same
way you would smell a wine before
drinking it well you should taste the
cigar to let your palate have an idea of
what’s coming once the cigar is properly
lit it’s important to remember not to
inhale this is not a cigarette to me I
suppose it seems almost counterintuitive
I’m taking this in and you know it seems
to me as if I should inhale up yes your
your taste buds are far more acute on
your tongue and in the front part of
your mouth and last time I checked there
are no taste buds in your throat and a
cigar is all about the taste the flavor
and what you’re supposed to do is take a
small puff and roll it around and see if
you could pick up on the subtleties of
flavors and aromas that are gonna be
present and then you exhale gently give
me a little bit of a sort of advice as
to what I might want to try as a sort of
as a new beat really is uninitiated what
is something that maybe it would be
something that would be very good for me
to adjust my palate with the Montecristo
number four although it is a rich cigar
it’s not a very big cigar so you would
only be enjoying it for half an hour to
45 minutes with the disclaimer not to
inhale you should be doing fine thank
you very much thank you
