Smoking a cigar is more than an act—it’s an experience. To truly enjoy it, a little etiquette goes a long way.

Mindfulness enhances every puff, preserving flavors and honoring those around you in lounges or private gatherings.

At MTS Cigars, we believe etiquette enhances the ritual—making every smoke feel elevated and intentional.

Key Highlights & Insights

Cutting

Always use a proper cigar cutter. A clean cut ensures a smooth, effortless draw.

Lighting

Use a butane torch or wooden match. Avoid candles or petrol lighters with strong odors, which can affect taste.

Ashing

Don’t constantly tap. Let the ash build naturally, then gently rest it off when it’s ready.

Pace

Slow and steady. Puffing too fast overheats the cigar, ruining the flavor.

Respect

Be mindful of those around you, especially in lounges or public settings.
