In order to reatly enjoy your cigar.

1) Buy your cigars in complete boxes, or, better still, in the ideal packing in tins

"Humidors", which keep the cigars always in the right condition-neither too dry nor too moist--and preserve their natural aroma.

2)

Remember, a dark coloured cigar is not necessarily "heavy" in smoking. Tobacco, like fruit, is at its best when ripe, and ripe tobacco is naturally of a darkish shade. its maturity lends it a significant and most palatible flavour.

3) Cut your cigar properly, light it carefully, and watch it constantly; if it does not burn quite regularly, keep the slowly burning pårt downwards! (Most smokers.do the reverse making things worse),

4)

When removing, the ash, do it gently. Careless stubbing spoils a good cigar.. Don't let it go out; lighted for the second time, it will never taste the same.. Should you ever get tired of your "favourite," try another shape, but stick to Ingenoht's "LA PERLA DEL ORIENTE", the brand that has satisfied and delighted discriminating smokers for over fifty years..

If, for one reason or another, you are advised to case up on your smoking, try the "Nicotine-Free" cigars, brand "GRANDASIA". You will like them,

8) Following these' hints, you will enjoy your cigar and look forward with pleasure

the next one..
