Cigars 101 - Top 5 Things NOT to do while Smoking Cigars 

Thanks for watching and let us know in the comments what you think about our tips and tricks and if you have some to add!

The wording I was taught about putting a cigar out is to set it down and let it die with dignity to show respect for the hundreds of people that it took to craft that work of art

1 thing to not do when i'm smoking my cigar... tell me what to do.

That was great!! What you said about “not talking politic” is dead on! I was at our local cigar bar, a couple of months ago, and a guy was talking so much about his political party, that it almost, literally, caused a fight! Once the guy decided to leave, someone said that he’d been kicked out of a couple more bars for doing the same thing.

Thank you for educating us rookies. Great video

I have to say, you do a fantastic job of promoting Mardo Cigars. Your contact is very enjoyable and easy to watch. Keep up the good work.

I appreciate the video, thank you.

Thanks for sharing!! Fairly new to cigar smoking here.

Number 1 was good. I think a lot of people do not take that in to consideration. Number 2 so true, especially with lower end cigars or a cigar that is not rolled very well you get a little flakey as well. Number 3 is my favorite, I love it I've seen people get so butt hurt because of this in lounges like in the 2018 era...Number 4 good as well. always that one that "only smokes Cuban's". Number 5 In a well ventilated area not so bad but deff in crappy lounge that has crap ventilation deff good not to stomp it out. Good advise for new and seasoned smokers alike. Thanks for the video my man.

Great étiquette advice ! Thanks !!

Smoking a cigar and drinking a whiskey is the only multitasking I willingly engage in

Enjoyed this. Your sense of humor was entertaining.

Thanks a lot!! great video

Loved this. Absolutely agree with your opinions on this. Yeah that #4 is a pretty common occurrence. I can't tell you how many times my face mimicked my YT Avatar because of it. I've also encountered the guy that brags about only smoking limited edition sticks, or the most hyped brands. That can be equally annoying because LE sticks aren't always better than readily available sticks and dismissing other sticks just because they are not LE or over $20 in cost is a sheer sign of ignorance.

Thank you. And you are absolutely right 👍🏽

hey thanks for the tips. great for a newbie like me. The one tip I knew from the get go was not stomping my cigar out. BAD! Thanks for the video.

I was walking on the beach, smoking a cigar, when someone upwind of me started the whole routine of pretending she could smell the cigar, people are too stupid.

Good advise

Tried my first cigar today. It was alright but smoked it in a lounge that I do not think was ventilated that well and was full of harsh smoke and could smell it all along. So I think it would have been better and more pleasurable had I tried it in better environment where there is no harsh oder around. But thank you for the video. Very informative. I might just try smoking one outside instead next time.

thnks ❤

Where did you get the skeleton heads? I would like to get some

#4 In West Europe there are no counterfeit Cuban cigars, so it's most probably legit. West Europe have lots of Officially Licensed La Casa Del Habano Stores, however we do suffer from the recent price increase. I smoke Cubans and New World, one isn't better than the other, they're just different. Variety is what matters. BTW: I do agree with the other Don'ts.

Good suggestions and very considerate of others. One that always comes to my mind, as it relates to smoking in a shop/lounge, is to make sure and buy the cigar you smoke from the establishment in which you are smoking. Seems very rude to me to bring your home stash to a shop/lounge and use their facilities, yet not patronizing their business. And yes... I have seen this done. Just my two cents...... thanks.

Sounds about right.

Good to know these things that's why I stay in my back yard and chill lol

The first thing not to do while smoking cigars is tell someone how to smoke a cigar, or what not to do while smoking a cigar. I'm not being facetious, and the assertion is not a comment on the video, but points out that videos like this are relevant for people wishing to learn. Just don't be gauche in person.

Yes! Thank you for #3! There really are millions of other things to chat about.

Lounges differ greatly, but these are some golden rules. Please don't come to the lounge talking political TV hot takes. If I wanted to hear that, I'd stay at home and watch the news. Just be nice and respectful, that's it. I went to my first lounge not knowing a thing about it and was blown away at how helpful the locals were in the humidor for choices and their favorites, but also how graciously quiet, respectful, and chill everyone was in the ambient light and smooth jazz.

When it comes to rule #4. Do you tell them they're smoking fakes or leave them be, or is it situation based

Flavored cigars. Choose wisely when and where you smoke them.

shame on you for not smoking when your doing a cigar video LOL. But just my two cents, maybe smoke one and start the video off about your cigar choice and etc, and than get on to the rest of the info, but still good content ,

Yeah, fam. I'm a cigar smoker for real, love the way they smell and smoke a lot. But I only really smoke outside and have COPD so I can't be inhaling a ton of second hand smoke (which ain't good even if ya have healthy lungs). I've also known multiple people with pretty bad allergies when it comes to tobacco smoke of any kind asthma, and a number of conditions that make em sensitive to smoke. So remember that being respectful about smoke ain't always about people being crybabies or anything like that. A lotta folks have real reasons for avoiding smoke and we have to always keep them in mind. We choose to smoke, and how we smoke, doesn't mean we get to make that choice for anyone else 💯 And yeah, political conversations are very important, it matters a lot. People have to talk about these things and generally lack respect for people who say otherwise. But there are a few places and times that I think we should give it a rest and lounges are high on the list.

Oh as soon as they say Cubans and great price , all I think is hear we go!

Did my first cigar lounge a few weeks ago and that’s all we talked was politics and had some good conversation amazing experience

Stacking dime lol 😂 are we tig welding? Thin ass cigarrillos. I smoke 60 gauge cigars I stack half dollars😅

What i like, before i smoke cigar, eat something with honey and take a sip of good whiskey

I would imagine this a regional thing or maybe just specific lounges but politics is not usually a bad conversation. If you can't handle an actual conversation simply don't engage. Wait for the topic to change or change it yourself in a tactful way.

It’s a Fugazi 🤣🤣 Forget about it

If I'm smoking outdoors....the last thing in the world I'm going to worry about is if the smell is bothering someone. It's bad enough that they limit the places we can enjoy a cigar these days. If I'm outdoors...I'M OUTDOORS!

How can you leave out politics in an time and economy like this 😭

Stamping your cigar is also very disrespectful to the process of making the cigar and the ones who hand rolled it. If I see someone doing that at a cigar lounge I can't help but call them on it.

Most importantly, for me, don't do exercise or physical exertion while smoking cigars

good shout👍

The first thing I do ANYWHERE is bring up politics. I wear my FJB hat or shirt daily!

What, no politics! Just kidding.

#5 is a sure sign of a non cigar smoker!

The Archie Bunker Rule applies to cigar smoking as well. Don't talk to Archie about religion, politics....or anything else. I don't talk politics with people I don't know. Why ruin a good cigar with political talk? I prefer to smoke cigars alone, with my dog or close friends and family.I don't like cigar lounges. I like to buy cigars and accessories there, that's it. In and out. Many, not all, of these places seem boojie and pretentious. I also don't like to be critiqued by strangers. I wish that I had been into cigars when my grandfather was here. It would have been more than special to light one up with him during a fishing trip.

Cigar Karen will call the manager if we don't follow what he told us.

Despite what you might have heard, cigar smoking isn't safer than cigarette smoking - even if you don't intentionally inhale the smoke. Cigar smoking poses serious health risks!

Completely disagree. Politics is a great topic while smoking, unless someone asks specifically not to.

The Cuban thing bugs me too...and in my experience they are overrated anyway. I've had good ones and bad ones.

People are obsessed with politics. And they are incapable of courteously discussing with someone who has a different opinion. I try to change the subject. If that doesn’t work, I just leave.

This guy must suck to be around.......telling people how not to smoke OUTSIDE, what a joke.

All cigar lounges should be banned in the United States like they are in Canada! Who wants to smell like a dirty ashtray all the time and get lung cancer, emphysema, and/or COPD? Not me!

Maybe you should read a book while smoking broaden your horizons… Atleast your vocabulary 😂😂😂
