Do you puff a cigar?

Smoking a cigarette is not the same as smoking a cigar. Indeed, unlike a cigarette, cigar smoke is not swallowed. Cigar smokers are then said to 'puff' their smoke. But why, in the end? Smoking lifts the veil on the question.

Cigar smoke is spat out

Yes, a cigar is puffed. What do we mean by that? It's very simple: the smoke is not inhaled. This is not about satisfying a need for nicotine, but rather about enjoying a moment suspended in time. Cigar smoke is savored, then expelled, but you must know how to properly light your cigar with a quality cigar lighter.

It is also for this reason that the cigar pairs perfectly with a spirit (whisky, rum, armagnac, or whatever you prefer).

Why is it not recommended to inhale the smoke of a cigar?

There is no particular risk in doing so. However, the tobacco used to roll cigars is fermented. In other words, it is more alkaline than cigarette tobacco.

It will be more easily absorbed in the mouth and will deliver its flavors as well as its nicotine content directly into the oral mucosa. Discover the different steps of cigar tasting to fully enjoy it.

What do I risk if I inhale the smoke from my cigar?

For many smokers, cigar smoke causes coughing fits immediately. Sometimes, nausea even leads to vomiting.

Rest assured, most of the time, nothing serious will happen to you. But these effects have already been observed in some cigar smokers, especially the less experienced ones.So if you are a cigarette smoker and you want to start smoking cigars, know that the two are not smoked in the same way at all, and it is preferable not to inhale the smoke of your cigar in order to avoid some discomfort. Moreover, it could disgust you for life, whereas it is a true pleasure!
