First CIgar, Really Excited

Just wait, cigar smoking is sort of anti climatic at first. With lighting and cutting issues, and trying to pair the right drink with your cigar and all. Soon you'll get clean cuts, proper lights, and know exactly what drink your cigar needs. Let's just say you'll be visiting the Coinstar a lot.

haha! That is so cool. Baccarat was my first-ever cigar too! I think it was like a Rothschild.

One step at a time now.

i thought it took me a good while, the lighting of it was the hardest part because im used to cigarettes and black and milds.
is 45 minutes not that long for a cigar?

Its all up to you how long you want to take, as long as it tastes good to you and you enjoy it

That sounds about right for a rothschild or small robusto. Try and take about a puff every 45-60seconds. This allows the cigar to burn slowly and not acquire any off tastes. The main thing is to enjoy yourself and relax. Did you like it?

Cigars often burn for 1.5-2 hours....45 minutes is on the lesser end for sure. Depends how much you smoke though, people here will nub the heck out of a cigar down to the last quarter-half inch.

EDIT I personally leave about an inch left, unless I REALLY love the cigar.

Welcome to the madness my friend....
All i can think of is the 70's disco song....

Another one bites the dust!
