What humidity level should I keep my cigars at? It is recommended to keep them between 65% and 72% relative humidity.
-
How do you cut a cigar correctly? You must make a clean cut in the head (the closed part) without undoing the wrapper, using a cigar cutter or guillotine.
-
What's the correct way to light it? Use a butane lighter or wooden matches. Toast the base of the cigar without letting the flame touch it directly before taking the first puff.
-
Should you inhale cigar smoke? No, unlike cigarette smoke, cigar smoke is savored in the mouth and exhaled, not inhaled into the lungs.
-
How long does a Robusto cigar last approximately? A Robusto format usually offers between 45 and 60 minutes of smoking time.

What if my cigar is dry? If it's not cracked, you can try slowly rehydrating it in a humidor over several weeks.

Do cigars have an expiration date? They don't expire. In fact, like wine, they can improve and age if stored in perfect humidity and temperature conditions.
-
What benefits do they mention about smoking cigars? On our website we mention studies about dopamine and the pleasure associated with the relaxing experience of smoking a good cigar (in moderation).
-
What is the difference in nicotine content between cigars and regular cigarettes? Cigars contain natural nicotine from the tobacco leaf, but because it is not inhaled and lacks the chemical additives of industrial cigarettes, the absorption is different.
