Cognitive information about smoking cuban cigars

Cutting a Cigar: How the sealed end head of the cigar is cut ultimately determines the quality of the draw, the subtlety and intensity of the cigar's aroma, in addition to assuring that the cigar remains evenly lit. The cut should be directly proportional to the thickness of the cigar, be clean and large enough to permit a proper draw.

Lighting a Cigar: Cigar should be lit with a short flame. Hold the flame 1/2" under the open end of the cigar and rotate the cigar until the end is evenly lit. Then, and only then, bring the cigar to your mouth and enjoy the first puff. Cigar can also be lit with gas lighter or torch lighter, what is important is to have a non-odorless flame i.e. do not use Zippo lighter. A cigar should not be lit too quickly or slowly, but rather patiently with small puffs.

Smoking a Cigar: "Cigar smoke should not be inhaled, but should be savored in the mouth, rolled around the tongue and exhaled either through the mouth."
"Smoke less, but smoke the best". Do not rashly light up a cigar if you do not have the time to enjoy it, but create time to indulge in the pleasure.

Before lighting up
Chocolate, leather, and spices: three words to describe the perfection of taste. It's rare to use the term "perfection", but when it comes to a good "oily/maduro" Magnum, it's the minimum that we can say.

Burning
When you go beyond the limits of what a perfect Havana can be, when you have already tasted a raw Magnum, nothing can surprise you anymore, except the taste of this same Magnum burning. The draw, very generous, is the trap where many beginners may fall. It's very easy and very generous; therefore, it must be controlled. Tasting a Magnum requires a minimum of concentration. The Magnum must be smoked very slowly, but with a regular draw. It's spicy without being aggressive. The roundness of taste is due to the leather and chocolate aromas. The spiciness is present, but we can say that the taste of the first third is rather heady. The spiciness of the Magnum has a special characteristic, it's an unsettled spiciness: it's very rich, and it keeps one changing with each draw, like a surprising marvellous symphony. In the second third, the Magnum excels. It's simply the dream of a Havana connoisseurs becoming reality. Rich, full bodied, and noble, the smoke is moving between the smoothness of chocolate and the dryness of hot spices. The second third is a festival of aromas: all what you may say is true.

Final
In the final, the heady taste disappears progressively and the hot spicy taste is more present. It's the moment when all connoisseurs say the same thing: "why it's too short?" Let me add one last advice: do not age your Magnums long-time; they may loose their rich aromas, and they will acquire an earthy taste. One year aging is sufficient.

Intro
The Magnum is one of my favourite Havanas. After a great dinner, I nominate three or four different cigars, selected among more than 100 different vitolas. The Magnum 46 is commonly one of the nominees. For me, it's one of the best, and definitely a "top ten" cigar.
