Total Newbie from Iowa

[craig]

Hi, I'm from Iowa. Never smoked a day in my life but I'm getting married this summer and want to have cigars for occasions: bachelor party, birth of a child and the like... maybe for fun, I hear its a lot of fun to take a cigar and go by a bunch of cigarette smokers and puff away I can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke but I do enjoy the smell of pipe tobacco every once in a while. I loved smoked meats and the outdoors. My cologne is Good Life by Davidoff (I understand he makes cigars).

I'll probably be jumping in the Newbie sampler thread to get some decent quality mild cigars and others, maybe see if I can send funds for a decent humidor as well. Hopefully a complete care package for a newbie.

Well I think I've enough for now all by myself. If you have any tips or advice questions... or concerns shoot them my way. I'll be happy to answer.

I did have one question though, is it acceptable to not smoke an entire cigar at once, and what the proper way to do so was?

Thanks,

Gifters

To answer your question, sh*t happens. To do it:
1. Purge (blow outwards) the cigar. Get the wrapper burning.
2. Let the cigar go out in the ashtray.
3. Light the next morning. The cigar will be different and not as good.

Better to cut the cigar in half at first, or, better yet, purchase a tin of smaller cigars for such occasions.
