Oud Kampen little cigars offer the connoisseur a very tasty and pleasantly spicy smoking pleasure.
Smoking Oud Kampen little cigars: The Basics
Take your cigarillo out of the packet and place the tapered end between your lips. Light the other end with a lighter or match. Hold the cigarillo between your thumb and forefinger, supporting it with your middle finger.
Drag the cigarilla smoke into your mouth and enjoy the rich taste. As with smoking a cigar, do not inhale the smoke into your lungs. Instead, hold the smoke in your mouth for a few moments and then open your mouth to breathe out.
Cigarillo etiquette
Cigarillo etiquette is not exactly the same as that for smoking a cigar. While cigars are usually enjoyed after dinner, cigarillos are great for cocktail parties. Due to their small size, they burn quickly compared to cigars, so you can enjoy them in the relatively casual atmosphere of a cocktail party. However, you should avoid smoking your cigarillo excessively quickly. One train per minute is a lot.
More tips on etiquette
Some etiquette tips apply equally to cigars and cigarillos. Smoking during a meal is usually not welcome, so it is best to wait until after dessert. Remember to tap the ash that builds up at the end of the cigarillo into an ashtray. Don’t let it build up too much or it will fall on your pants, on the table, or on the carpet. If you want to offer someone a cigarillo, offer them the box and let them choose one. Offer lighter or matches instead of lighting the cigarillo for him.
