A few extra notes:
Don’t light up your cigar on an empty stomach: have a light snack before the seminar, but please try to avoid overly spicy food and drinks or ingredients that will linger on your palate and interfere with the tasting of the delicate smoke.
Make yourself comfortable in a cozy environment (with little surrounding noise or buzz).
With the best of spirits – Light ‘em Up!
