So, you’re curious about cigars — welcome to the world of slow living, rich aromas, and timeless tradition. At Infinity Cigars, we love helping beginners discover their perfect first smoke.
Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
1. Start Mild
If you’re new to cigars, begin with a mild-bodied blend. Our Infinity Day Shift is a perfect choice — smooth, creamy, and easy on the palate without overwhelming flavors.
2. Don’t Inhale
Unlike cigarettes, cigars are about savoring the flavor — not inhaling. Take slow draws, hold the smoke in your mouth, and enjoy the aroma. It’s a ritual, not a race.
3. Cut with Care
Use a proper cigar cutter (like a guillotine or V-cutter) and snip just above the shoulder of the cap. This opens up the draw without unraveling the cigar.
4. Light It Right
Use a butane lighter or long match. Toast the foot (end) of the cigar first, then puff gently while rotating it over the flame for an even burn. (Need help? Check our previous blog on lighting tips!)
5. Enjoy the Moment
Find a quiet space. Pair your cigar with a drink you love. Sit back, relax, and welcome yourself into the culture.
