Ash

What is Cigar Ash?

Cigar ash is the residue left behind as the cigar burns. A good ash is firm and compact, reflecting the quality of the cigar’s construction and tobacco.

Why is Ash Important?

A stable ash helps maintain an even burn and prevents overheating of the tobacco. It’s a visual indicator of how well a cigar is rolled.

Tips for Managing Ash

Let the ash grow to about an inch before gently tapping it off to avoid accidental spills. A consistent ash indicates a well-constructed cigar.
