Proper Etiquette For Cigar Smoking

You may enjoy that Cuban like your fellow cigar smokers, but if you know your manners, you’d be fully aware that many are disgusted by their smell and taste. It is especially important these days to be courteous and well-mannered when enjoying Cuba’s finest, because these days anti-smoking campaigns are all the rage. Simply remember that while you are smoking a cigar, it can be difficult to gauge the smell that others are experiencing. And don’t forget that cigar smokes can leave a mighty strong residue on clothing, furniture, and even the walls! In order to enjoy your stogie without a heavy conscience, learn to become a considerate and courteous cigar smoker.

Look for a nice, comfortable and well-ventilated place at or near your home if you live with a family of non-smokers. You may crave that “me time” and lock yourself in your bedroom, office or washroom, but unless such an enclosure has a window, that’s not a pretty good idea. Make sure you have easy access to the window. Always smoke in a place that has a window open! You are more likely to inhale the toxic air from your own cigar. If possible, go outside to smoke. Nothing beats a good Cuban classic while you’re lazing outside in your favorite chair, with nobody to disturb, offend or annoy with the smoke. Make sure you are as far away as possible from younger and older non-smokers. Passive smoke also contains its share of cancer-causing agents, and you wouldn’t want kids and elders to inhale it.

If you must smoke a cigar outside your home, remember that the courteous and respectful smoker will only light up where legally permitted. Do no light up in a bar, hotel, or restaurant where smoking is clearly prohibited. Another sign of courtesy would be only to smoke when in the company of fellow smokers. You may have to smoke when a non-smoker is with you, but first ask their permission. Still, that doesn’t give you carte blanche to smoke as if no one’s with you. Do not allow them to inhale or even smell your passive smoke. Smoke in a place that is near an open window. There may be times when you will have to move the airconditioner in such a way that nobody else gets hit by the smoke. And it is very, very important that no one in the area is eating. The secondhand smoke from a discourteous smoker is a surefire way to ruin a meal.

The last courtesy tip you have to follow would to be mindful of where you flick your ashes. This would mean using the proper type of container and making sure everything is safe when disposing of them. Ashes can blow away with the wind quite easily, especially if you’re smoking an affordable cigar. Scattering your cigar ashes in public is a form of littering, and could blow near other people and cause discomfort.
