Using Cedar To Light A Cigar

Lighting a cigar correctly is vital to ensuring the best smoking experience

. There are numerous steps involved in doing so and, oftentimes, smokers have as much of a preference in regards to lighting their cigar as they do toward which types of cigars they prefer. Cedar strips are one of the less-common ways that smokers light-up and they offer an interesting twist on enjoying one's smoke.

The process starts, of course, with the cigar cutter. Remember to trim the cigar properly to ensure the best draw. How the cedar is lit is up to the smoker. Some smokers prefer to light the strip with a regular lighter while others prefer to keep the process as back-to-basics as possible and to use a match to set the strip aflame.

Most smokers who prefer this method have some degree of sensitivity to the taste of the chemicals used in both lighters and matches. Cedar burns fast and hot, has a pleasant, natural taste and, according to many cigar aficionados, imparts no unpleasant taste to their tobacco. For this reason, many individuals who prefer to light their cigars in this fashion also light the cedar strip itself with a match, eliminating altogether any chance of having lighter fluid or other substances discolor the flavor of their cigar. Of course, this method is not the most convenient and is usually something that is done when one smokes a cigar in their home as carrying around all the materials required can be somewhat cumbersome.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this method. Among the advantages are the lack of chemicals involved. While fluid-filled lighters can sometimes impart a taste to the first few puffs of tobacco and do burn with a scent, butane lighters and cedar strips do not. Cedar strips are also very inexpensive and most smokers will find that they can get a couple of lights off of one strip, depending, of course, on how hard their cigar is to get lit.

Cedar strips offer something different for one's cigar-smoking experience. The smell of burning cedar being immediately followed by the smell of high-quality, burning tobacco is really quite pleasant. If one is truly looking for a gourmet experience, cedar strips can be a nice addition to the smoking ritual.
