10 Cigar Rules Your Grandfather Knew That Nobody Teaches Anymore

Learn the traditions behind the cigar with The Cigar Trilogy: https://stantonhankins.com/ I’m bringing back ten quiet cigar rules that used to pass from grandfather to grandson, sergeant to private, and tobacconist to customer. After three decades behind a cigar counter in Louisville, Kentucky, I’m sharing the lessons that taught me how to respect the cigar, the people around it, and the moment itself. From asking before you strike a match to letting the host light first, waiting until the work is done, protecting a new smoker, and leaving the yard cleaner than you found it, these are simple rules with a deeper meaning. And the first rule—about the man who hands you a cigar—is one I still hear from my first boss. 0:00 Ten forgotten cigar rules 0:42 Ask before lighting 2:19 Let the host light first 3:42 Make the cigar an event 5:24 Offer your second cigar 6:50 Wait until work ends 9:58 Give only what you smoke 11:30 Protect the new smoker 13:18 Leave the yard cleaner 14:48 A cigar is an invitation 16:44 The rules in brief #Cigars #CigarCulture #CigarEtiquette #TobaccoTradition #CigarLovers
