How to Properly Light a Cigar - Davidoff of London

[PipeIT]

This is a really good video for those that haven’t seen it.

I like how Eddie fully lights it before taking the first puff.

Gotta say, they are patient chaps. I'd have spent half the time charring it that they did.

I've got a pair of those Davidoff scissors but they need to be sharpened and I'm too paranoid they will get "lost"..

Splendid video @PipeIT - good show old boy.

Man, those guys were wearing some expensive duds!! I wouldn't use a scissors cutter to cut a cigar. They make a perfectly reusable guillotine cutter with two blades. I know you should properly char a cigar with a match or lighter but damned if it takes me three days to do it.

@Brendan yeah, I really loved the laid back demeanor, it really made you stop and realize what this is all about.

@kcghost yes, really spiffy dressed, and I have at the moment a Vertigo guillotine cutter which is working quite nice. Later I do want to buy an inexpensive Xikar. I thought this was a great video.

I tried this lighting method today on a La Aroma de Cuba Classic Robusto. Now I’ve never smoked this cigar before to know whether or not it would make a difference, and of course it’s not an expensive cigar, but boy it sure tasted mighty fine on that virgin puff I’ll say. LOL

Thanks for this.
Good reminder to take it easy on the lighting

Those suits arent gonna pay for themselves! neither is the walk in humidor, the home air filtration system so he can smoke inside, the mansion in Texas. Cant forget about the bespoke shoes!

I like watching these fellas. They are great examples of gentlemen etiquette. I’ll smoke a cigar and just watch these guys to make myself feel fancy. I wonder if they would enjoy a video of myself driving a tractor and spreading manure on a field while spitting tobacco into the wind.
