You normally shouldn't smoke a cigar right out the box (unless it's been aged) because it can be too young and cigars don't tend to taste well when fresh. The recommended way to store cigars is to use a humidor. For optimum enjoyment cigars should be stored at a humidity level of between 68% - 72% and at temperature range of between 68 - 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Good humidors come with a device to maintain the proper level of humidity. There must be care taken when humidifying cigars, as excessive moisture can cause mould to grow, which will ruin everything in the box.
Quality Construction - Construction is always the most important factor. The cigars appearance is an important indicator of care and craftsmanship. The cigar should look good and feel smooth when you roll in your fingers. The wrapper should be smooth with a slight shine, no blemishes or rough stems, its leaves all spiraling in the same direction. The cigar should not be too dry or too firm. Give your cigar a gentle squeeze. It should be spongy to the touch and resilient enough to hold its shape where you have pressed your finger to it.
The taste of a cigar can be broken down by sweet, salty, acid, and bitterness. There are two and half ways to taste a cigar. Yes, two and a half. The first is using your tongue (taste). The second is using your sense of smell and the half as much like wine is the finish. Taking the time to be aware of all of your tasting "tools" will help you further enjoy cigars!
Quality Tobacco - Tobacco is very important. When inferior quality filler is used, the cigar will produce a harsh, rough, musty taste with an unpleasant, penetrating aroma. To deliver a good taste and aroma, a producer must be able to ensure a constant supply of the same tobaccos that make up his distinctive blends from year to year. Not only must the tobacco be superior, it's imperative that it be properly processed.
A cigar that's has bad quality tobacco is a bad cigar! But you want to remember that many factors can change the way a cigar tastes, the time of day when smoked or if are smoking while eating, drinking coffee and many others can change the way you experience taking a cigar.
