How to smoke cigarettes properly
If you already smoke, get nice accessories for it. For example, a lighter. It may not be very expensive, but it, like all your things, can be a reflection of your personality. An ashtray in your home, or more precisely a few of them, can also be a work of art. Surround yourself with these beautiful things.
Hold the cigarette close to the filter between your middle and index fingers. When you pull, don’t look at the cigarette, it looks ridiculous and ridiculous. Do not leave a cigarette in your mouth for a long time, ie do not smoke without using your hands. First, it’s awkward, second, it’s not pretty, and third, smoke can get into your eyes, and it’s not very pleasant. Do not smoke a cigarette until the filter.
How to smoke cigars properly
The main difference between cigar smoking and cigarette smoking is that cigars are not drawn. Cigars are smoked to taste the smoke. Another difference is that smoking cigars with gasoline lighters is not recommended. This spoils the aroma of smoke.
Before smoking, cut off the end of the cigar with a special knife (guillotine).
To light a cigar, you must follow the whole ritual:
- First roll a cigar on a lit match to heat the top evenly;
- Now take a cigarette in your mouth and inhale it slowly turning;
- Keep the smoke in your mouth, enjoy the smell, exhale slowly.
When smoking a cigar, the ashtray is not used much, it does not smolder as fast as a cigarette. It is also not worth putting out a cigar - after a few seconds it will go out on its own. If the cigar has gone out and you immediately want to smoke more, you can do so. If a part of the cigar is left over from yesterday, then smoking is not recommended, because the aroma is not the same, and by lying it will acquire an unpleasant taste.
Traditionally, cigars are smoked after a meal. With cognac or rum, the flavor combination will be unique. Cigars are served in beautiful cigarette boxes or a special cigar box, which also contains a knife - a guillotine. Hosts who offer cigars to a guest usually have several types of cigars to choose from in the open box.
