Description
I show you how to accept a cigar with confidence and respect: https://stantonhankins.com/
I’ve spent three decades behind a cigar counter in Louisville, Kentucky, and I’ve watched good men mishandle the moment someone offers them a cigar. In this video, I count down 10 things a gentleman never does when a cigar is placed in his hand—and explain why small gestures can speak louder than words.
I cover:
- Why taking two cigars can backfire
- When a comment about taste becomes an insult
- How to decline without giving a lecture
- Why leaving a cigar behind sends the wrong message
- The deeper meaning behind a cigar invitation
- The rules I keep in mind when accepting a cigar
0:00 The humidor test

4:33 When taste becomes an insult
9:00 Declining without a lecture

13:31 A cigar is an invitation
15:11 The rules in one breath
