Anyone that enjoys cigars will tell you that sometimes a fine cigar can almost feel rewarding. Maybe it’s because it’s become associated with moments of success, maybe it’s because it’s just relaxing after a long work week, or maybe it’s just because it tastes so good. Whatever it is, smoking a cigar can be more of an experience than many people may believe. However, everyone’s different, and to truly have the best possible smoking experience you need to find the method that works best for you.

If you’ve never smoked a cigar before, or you’re an inexperienced cigar smoker you may find yourself saying “is there really that much to it? Don’t you just pick out a cigar and light it up?”

Sure you could do that, but you won’t be getting the most of the experience and you may even taint your view on cigars by getting one that’s too strong for your experience level. A bad first impression can leave a bad taste in your mouth in more ways than one.

When it comes to finding the perfect personal smoking experience, a common misconception is that you can just buy a more expensive cigar and that will be better than the cheaper options that you can find. This is not exactly the case. Just because a cigar is more expensive does not mean that it’s necessarily better. This is due to both the different experience levels of each cigar smoker and the unique tastes that we all have as individuals. Because of this, you can find premium cigars on sale at a discounted price and still have a proper experience.

Just the smallest bit of research can go a long way, though hopefully after reading this you’ll know exactly what cigar experience level you’re at and what kind of cigar you think you’d prefer. Knowing is only half the battle.

Once you know what you want look for deals and bundles. If you think you may want more than a cigar down the line then buy a few in bulk. It couldn’t hurt to have extras and cigars are always better with friends anyway. You may regret only getting one just to find that you’re going out again to rebuy the same cigar you just bought. It’s almost always cheaper in the long run to get yourself a bundle of something you know you’ll enjoy.

Which Cigars Are Best for You?

If you consider yourself a cigar expert then this section may be worth skipping, but for those that are reading to learn a little bit about cigars before making a purchase you’ve come to the right place. When buying your first premium cigars, it may be difficult to pick out one that you think you’ll like.

One of the most important things to note is the strength of the cigar. Cigars generally can be mild, medium, or full. This isn’t like a video game where you may start on the “Normal” setting because rather than “Easy” or “Hard”. Newer smokers should stick to mild cigars so that they aren’t overwhelmed. Even starting with a medium cigar as your first cigar could be enough to ruin the experience for you.

The shape and size of the cigar are also important. There are many different types of cigars and some are better than others for beginners. Some of the cigar shapes to choose from are Robusto, Gordo, Toro, Churchill, Torpedo, and Corona. Each one of the choices is excellent, but different smokers will prefer different shapes.

Beginners should focus on the smaller cigars for a multitude of reasons. The first reason is that you may not be able to finish a larger cigar and you’ll have to waste whatever you don’t finish. Also simply because a bigger cigar may prove to be a bit too much. Too much smoke may cause you to cough, or get sick. You’ll want a smaller cigar just so you can stay on top of the game.

The last thing you’ll have to think about is the flavor that you like. Cigars come in so many different flavors and emit many different aromas. It may be overwhelming to see all of the options that we have for sale. Luckily for you, this is the easiest part of the process though because you probably already know what you like. Some cigars are infused with flavors like chocolate or coffee. All you have to do is find a flavor that sounds appealing to you.

So as a beginner, you should be able to find a small, mild premium cigar for sale with a flavor that you prefer. After you select the cigar that’s perfect for you you can slowly branch out and try out other flavors and other shapes of the cigar. Eventually, you’ll be an expert yourself and you’ll be able to give out tips to beginners.

Get the Proper Accessories

Sure the actual premium cigars for sale are extremely important, but one may argue that the accessories you use are equally important. From the case that you store your cigars into the lighter you use to light them, every step in the process is important. If you’ve been smoking cigars for years, you know what you like, and you’re just interested in lighting one up to have a quick smoke then you probably don’t have to worry about this, but you may learn that there’s an accessory that you haven’t tried that may make your life easier.

It should also be high enough quality to keep your cigars fresh for a decent time period. That’s why one cigar accessory that every cigar smoker should have is a cigar case.

We have plenty of different cigar cases available that can hold 2 or more cigars. Cases are different depending on the size of cigars you’re smoking so be sure to pick out the perfect case for the cigars that you prefer. Beginners will likely need a case for smaller cigars, while more experienced smokers will get a case that matches their cigar preference.

Each case also comes in a different material. There are carbon fiber envoy cases that dress up the cigars and make them look elegant. For many, the appearance is all a part of the premium experience and this case satisfies that need plenty. It’s crush-proof and can hold 52-ring or 54-ring gauges depending on which type of cigar you are buying.

We also have classic wood and leather cigar cases for sale. These cigar cases have been used for a great long while. They’re made from solid cedar wood that holds the cigars. The top is ebony wood with cedar lining. It can hold up to 2 cigars and is another excellent choice when it comes to cigar cases.

Cigar Cutter

Okay, you’ve got your cigar case, now you’re ready to pull it out and cut it. To do that you’ll need a proper cigar cutter. We have dozens of different cutters for sale.

It can cut 60 ring cigars with ease. As long as you’re cutter can get the job done then you’ve picked a good one. The most important thing is just that you have one.

Cigar Lighter

You’ve got the cigar out of the case, you’ve got it cut, and now it’s time to light it up. First and foremost, when lighting a cigar you do not want to use matches. A match can easily go out and it also has the opportunity to cause an uneven burn. More often than not, that can absolutely ruin a smoking experience.
