If you’re looking to relax over the weekend, consider picking up a nice Dominican cigar and relaxing by the lake with a nice cocktail.  If you’re new to cigars, ask your haberdasher or cigar retailer for advice.  Cigars come in so many colors, sizes, and shapes that it could possibly boggle ones mind. 

Cigar sizes vary incredibly, from the small cigarillo to the massive Churchill.  But not all cigars are the same, and each of these sizes and shapes have a very distinct flavor and draw (the draw is the cigars ability to draw air through it’s length).

Cigars can be enjoyed by yourself, or in groups of fellow smokers.  We here at Heimie’s will go out of our way to fill your smoking needs.

Here’s some advice on selecting cigars:

• A cigar should be light with matches, a stick, or a gas fueled lighter.  Liquid fuels will alter the flavor of the cigar, so your Bic or Zippo shouldn’t be used to light a cigar.  When lighting it, make sure to first blow through the cigar into the flame to expel any unwanted gasses or fumes, and then begin to draw through the cigar in puffs while rotating it.  The rotation of the cigar during the lighting process allows for an even light, and therefore an even smoke.
• A smaller cigar will burn very hot and quickly, and the flavor will be a little sharper.  A larger cigar will burn more coolly, and will have a more mild flavor.  There are some variables such as wrap and tightness that will also affect the flavor.
• The cigars girth is called it’s “ring size.”  A smaller cigar would be in the 38 to 42 category, a midsize cigar 42 to 50, and a large cigar being a ring size of 52 or above.
• Cigars need to kept at a humidity of about 68 to 72 relative humidity, and are therefore best kept in a cedar wood lined humidor.
