#1, that I had to overcome myself.....Smoking too fast. Changes the flavors for the worse, heats up the cigar, and can affect the burn. About a puff a minute seems to keep my cigar from getting hot-boxed.

another: worrying too much about humidity.....people (like I used too) obsess over 2 to 3% RH..... people need to chill and enjoy the hobby and not worry so much...after a minimal amount of time....it just hppens...RH is the least of my worries now. |

Re: Common Cigar Mistakes?
putting a half smoked cigar back into the humidor. That is very bad, it makes the humidor smell bad.

Re: Common Cigar Mistakes?
Ok, I don't think this is common problem. But my very first cigar purchase I made, having never cut a cigar before for myself, I lit the cut end. And was confused
 why I wasn't enjoying it as much as the last cigar I smoked, that a friend lit and cut for me haha. Thankfully thats the worst n00b mistake I made lol. Last edited by BroNeilson; 07-31-2007 at 02:14 PM.. |

Re: Common Cigar Mistakes?
All great tips so far.
1. Avoiding bundles to build up your collection - see No. 2 2. Avoid any crappy cigars - they'll stay around forever & never get smoked 3. Giving your friends or non-smokers crappy cigars - they'll hate them as much as you, and you'll never convert anyone into the hobby if all they've had is crappy cigars (that they don't like, just like you)...

Re: Common Cigar Mistakes?
Storing flavored and non-flavored cigars together. Assuming a cigar is strong because it has a dark wrapper.

cutting too much off the cap is a mistake I see all too often.

Putting a Grape Flavored Swisher in your Humidor. I am not sure what dummy did that.

Re: Common Cigar Mistakes?
Everything mentioned are all mistakes I have already made (except the grape Swisher)!!!
My most recent discovery is not dry-boxing adequately - especially for cigars that benefit from it (most/all the Pepin stuff and anything with a lot of corojo or criollo). I don't get OCD about RH of the humis anymore, but dry-boxing (especially down here in LA with high humidity) is a must for improving the smoking characteristics and flavor of most of my sticks. Cheers (Good post) BillyBarue
