How Do You Choose A Good Cigar?

On average, thicker cigars have smoother draws than thinner ones, and therefore are cooler and slower burning. That is why connoisseurs prefer lengths of 6 1/2 inches or longer, with a ring size of 44 or thicker. The traditional Churchill size is about about 7 inches with a ring of 48 or 49. You should experiment to find what is preferable for you.
Depending on the cigar, you normally only smoke two-thirds to three-quarters, as after that the build-up of tars and juices can make the remainder a little bitter.
Cigars can be purchased individually, in boxes, bundles, or in sampler packs of deferent sizes or brands. Also when selecting cigars you have a wide variety of lengths, thickness and shapes to choose from. The most popular size over the years has been the corona, which is traditionally 5 9/16 inches long with a ring gauge of 42, but this varies by brand.

Smell them and smoke them. You will Maguire a taste for certain ones.
