If you are like most people who are into cigars, whether you are a novice or someone who has been smoking for years, you will find that the prospect of getting a new cigar is very exciting. You may have even saved up some money to buy a special, expensive cigar. As someone who is into cigars, you are probably aware that there are a number of "rules" that go along with cigars. Everything from using cigar cutter lighters so that you get the perfect light to your cigar to choosing the right humidor is important. One of the things that some wonder, especially those who are new, is if they should smoke their cigars right after buying them.
When it comes to whether you should smoke the cigar right away or not depends on some factors. If you are certain that the cigar shop or cigar bar from which you buy your cigars keep the cigars in the humidor all the time, then you can be assured that the cigar will have the proper moisture levels. If you have been to the shop a number of times and know their practices then you should be fine.
Certainly, most of the better cigar shops that you will find take good care of their cigars. However, this is simply not the case with all establishments. This means that you don't know how the cigars are cared for while they are at the shop. It is advisable that you take your newly purchased cigars home and put them inside your humidor for a day or two at least. When they are in the humidor, they will regain any lost moisture and will be much more enjoyable when you smoke them. You might find it hard to wait, but the results of letting that moisture take hold will certainly be worthwhile and noticeable.
If you don't have your own humidor at your home, you might want to consider getting one. You can find them in various sizes, and if you are serious about your cigar hobby, you are going to want to have one eventually. In the meantime, you can always ask the people at the store if you can store the cigars in their humidor and pick them up in a day or two, after they have regained their moisture.
Dry cigars can be very unpleasant, and that is the last thing that you want when you are excited to smoke something new. Take those few extra days to ensure that you have cigars with the right amount of moisture.
