Toasting

What is Toasting a Cigar?

Toasting is the process of preheating the foot of the cigar before lighting it. It ensures an even burn and enhances the initial flavor of the cigar.

How to Toast a Cigar

Hold the cigar at a slight angle above the flame and rotate it evenly until the foot glows. Avoid direct contact with the flame to prevent scorching.

Why Toasting Matters

Toasting allows the tobacco to warm up gradually, reducing the chance of uneven burning and preserving the cigar’s flavor profile.
