Light Your Cuban Cigar the Way it is Meant to Be Lit


You may think that lighting a Cuban cigar could be as easy as it sounds, but you would be thinking wrong. It is true that anybody can light a Cuban cigar, but to light it in a way that preserves its flavor is a tricky business and may require knowing a thing or two about the process. Smokers who enjoy every Cuban cigar that they smoke should follow these tips to better enjoy their experience.



Before you light your Cuban cigar, you should heat its "foot" or end for sometime. As you keep heating it slowly on a fire, you will see that a black ring is forming on the foot. You must make sure that the Cuban cigar does not contact the fire at any point of time; the fire should just be close enough to warm the Cuban cigar until the black ring formation on the end is complete.



Wooden matches should be used to light a Cuban cigar and cedar matches are ideal for lighting the Cuban cigar as they do not meddle with the aroma when you use them. Although cedar matches would be perfect, you can also use a lighter if you must, to light your smoke. If you must use a lighter, make sure that it is butane lighter at least, because butane lighters do not leave any strong smell when you light your Cuban cigar with it. This makes sure that you do not lose out on the unadulterated flavor of the Cuban cigar.



Now that you have prepared your Cuban cigar well enough to be lit, you must actually light it and this is a tricky business as well. The Cuban cigar must be in your mouth as you light the wooden match or the butane lighter, but it should not touch the actual fire at any time. When the Cuban cigar is at an inch or less from the fire, start to draw in calmly. With you drawing in from so close to the flame, the Cuban cigar should light up soon, but now you must rotate it. The rotation is necessary to make sure that the Cuban cigar catches the fire equally through out.



Although you will rotate the Cuban cigar to make sure the burn is even, there is a chance that the burn may not still be even. After you have lit your Cuban cigar, take a look at it to ensure this. If you find the Cuban cigar to have unlit portions, blow on the lit part of the Cuban cigar a few times to evenly distribute the fire. Take a few puffs from the Cuban cigar now to complete the lighting procedure evenly and adequately.



These instructions are simple to follow and apply, but once applied and followed carefully, you will find your Cuban cigar smoking experience to be quite different from the other days cigar smoking and the difference will be in all likeliness will be a better one if not memorable.

My friend is suddenly a bigot? Is she jealous or just being mean or what? What should I say to her?
I have been really close friends with this girl for over 15 years. She has always been very big on not being a racist or a bigot and judging people on an individual basis, etc. She even gets after me if I say something that seems kinda prejudiced or whatever. So I am dating this really nice, sweet guy (I'm a girl BTW, that's not me in the avatar LOL) who treats me wonderfully and we always have a great time. We've been dating for several months now. Right at the beginning, when I told her his name, it's a Spanish name and she's like "What IS he?" and I didn't know or care, really, I just liked him anyway. So I notice she started mentioning that like for instance, all of the "trashy" girls at her school used to date Mexican boys. I'm like HMM. And then she told me a little while later, she doesn't like to go to the theater in Ft. Lauderdale because it's always full of Puerto Ricans. O RLY?? And later on, she was talking about an enemy of her daughter's and she blamed the little girl's rotten personality on her being Cuban. WTF. She has since then zeroed in specifically on Puerto Ricans because we found out that's where my bf's family is from, she laughed at his name and said, "Dude you're dating someone named ____________ -- THINK about it! HAHAHA!" She is constantly bringing up negative stereotypes of Latin Americans, telling me stories about some guy behind her in line at the store who was soo rude, and just HAPPENED to be Spanish, etc. etc. etc. My father's family is Colombian and the other day she actually says about one of my Colombian friends that she ate nasty food because "Hispanics will eat anything with beans and rice in it, and you KNOW what I'm talking about". I wanted to hang up the phone on her. I want to say something that will put a stop to it without making me look like a martyr or preachy or whatever. I wish I could come up with like one perfect sentence to shut her down, but I don't want to look defensive or whatever, I shouldn't HAVE to defend ANYONE because she is the one being a crotch NOT THEM. HELP??

Whats up with the news reports now days? have they always been this bad?
Ignore the bad grammar I just want to know whats going on. The news isn't truly helping I was looking at this Travon Martin case. Getting info from the news. What I notice is that every time an new report comes out the News change the story around. At first they said an Cuban Jewish guy shot a black kid and got away with it with the help by the police. the was story Zimberman was following him call the police then got out the car and threaten Martin and shot him. They show records away him calling the police before calling him a coon under his breath. There was an tape out hearing Martins voice screaming for help. there was no fight they said. Then some other info came out saying that they were fighting and Zimberman called the police and Zimberman won I guess then he shot him. When that tape came out with Zimberman being treat the next day clearly showing the police messed for not arresting him or treating him that day of the death. the news change it again they said Zimbermann walked to his car then martin came to confront him then Zimbermann pulled out a gun then shot him. Ok that's whats really confusing me. there were allot I didn't bring up because i'm not much of a typer. like Zimbermann call the police 46 time on black calling them a nigger found out that wasn't true. no evidence of it. and about the fing coon whisper found out the media altered that tape a little. and much others I'm a believer of most cops are crooked Now here is the funny thing, the police report I read before the case.the story stay the same no matter what. there fighting if he shot Martin after the fight or was they fighting over the gun. Here is what I read from the police report. Zimbermann was following Martin because he thought he was some one the police was looking for. he got out of his car then start following him at the same time Martin notice he was following him telling his girl friend on the fun. Zimbermann call the police while he was still following him . the police told him there is know need to follow him. So he went back to the car then Martin confronted him then they started arguing after that know one knows what happened beside Martin banging Zimbermans head of the cement. there was an scar in the back of his head. it was an fight know one know who started it because of know real eye witness all that is known is Zimberman shot the kid. there in cour discussing was it self defence or Murder. Both of them was wrong.

Cuban party themes that don't use the words Cuba or Havana?
I am planning a party with cuban food, music and ambiance, but I have been instructed that I cannot use the words Cuba or Havana. I want the theme to reflect that older 1940-1950's Cuba, but I've hit the wall on ideas. Any thoughts?

What do yall think about Cuban fighters with great amateur backgrounds?
Is it any coincidence that Erislandy Lara (Robbed by Williams), Yuriorkis Gamboa, Rigondeaux and Abril (robbed by Rios) all have excellent amateur backgrounds but, for the most part, are looked over as far as title shots and big money fights? It's been argued that its because the amateur style isn't exciting in the pros, maybe its lack of promotion because of a small Cuban market as opposed to Mexican and Puerto Rican fans.
