Cigar Etiquette 101

Smoking a cigar is more than an act—it’s an experience. To truly enjoy it, a little etiquette goes a long way.

• Cutting: Always use a proper cigar cutter. A clean cut ensures a smooth draw.

• Lighting: Use a butane torch or wooden match. Avoid candles or lighters with strong odors, which can affect taste.

• Ashing: Don’t constantly tap. Let the ash build naturally, then gently rest it off when it’s ready.

• Pace: Slow and steady. Puffing too fast overheats the cigar, ruining the flavor.

• Respect: Be mindful of those around you, especially in lounges or public settings.

At MTS Cigars, we believe etiquette enhances the ritual—making every smoke feel elevated and intentional.
