Cigar Strength Guide
Choosing the right strength is the most important decision for cigar enjoyment. Strength refers to nicotine and tobacco impact, not just flavor intensity.
- Mild — Smooth, creamy, light smoke. No harshness. Ideal for first-time smokers and those who prefer subtlety over power. Examples: Davidoff Signature, Romeo y Julieta 1875, Cohiba Connecticut, Rocky Patel Vintage 1990. Pairs with champagne, light beer, white wine, coffee.
- Mild-Medium — A step up from mild — more complexity and body without being overwhelming. Good daily smoker range. Examples: Arturo Fuente Chateau, Hemingway Short Story, Ashton Classic. Pairs with coffee, craft beer, bourbon with ice, white wine.
- Medium — The most popular range. Balanced between strength and flavor complexity. Examples: Padrón 2000, Cohiba Blue, Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real, Rocky Patel Decade. Pairs with scotch, bourbon, IPA, red wine.
- Medium-Full — Bold and complex. Noticeable nicotine. Earthy, peppery, and rich. Examples: Arturo Fuente Don Carlos, Oliva Serie G, New World by AJ Fernandez. Pairs with neat bourbon, cognac, rum, dark stout.
- Full — Maximum strength and complexity. Powerful nicotine and long flavor transitions. For experienced, regular smokers. Examples: OpusX, Padrón Family Reserve, Oliva Serie V, My Father Le Bijou, Liga Privada No. 9. Pairs with neat whisky, aged rum, añejo tequila, dark coffee.
Cigar Sizes
- Robusto (5 in, ring 50, 45–60 min) — The most popular cigar format. Short enough for a quick smoke, full enough to develop flavor. Best starting point.
- Toro (6 in, ring 50–52, 60–80 min) — The most popular format among enthusiasts. Extra inch of tobacco means more flavor development. Good all-purpose size.
- Churchill (7 in, ring 47–48, 90–120 min) — Named after Winston Churchill. Long, slender, formal. A leisurely smoke that reveals layers over time.
- Corona (5.5–6 in, ring 42–44, 45–60 min) — Classic size — thinner ring gauge makes it a sharper, more concentrated flavor.
- Belicoso (5.5 in, ring 52, 50–70 min) — Tapered torpedo tip for a focused draw that opens up as you smoke.
- Gordo / Gran Toro (6 in, ring 60+, 90–120 min) — Extra-wide ring gauge — cool smoking temperature, complex blending, massive smoke volume.
- Perfecto (4–6 in, ring 48–52, 45–70 min) — Pinched at both ends. Unusual and artisanal shape that changes draw and flavor throughout the smoke.
How to Smoke a Cigar
- Choose your cigar — Select a strength level appropriate for your experience. Beginners should start with mild-medium and work up.
- Inspect the cigar — Roll it gently; it should feel firm and consistent with no soft spots or cracks in the wrapper.
- Cut the cap — Use a sharp straight or guillotine cutter to remove the cap, cutting just below the shoulder (1/16 to 1/8 inch).
- Toast the foot — Hold the flame 1–2 inches below the foot and rotate slowly until the entire foot glows evenly.
- Light the cigar — Draw slowly and steadily while rotating over the flame until the foot is evenly lit.
- Draw and hold, don't inhale — Cigars are not inhaled into the lungs. Draw the smoke into your mouth, let it sit, then release.
- Pace yourself — One draw every 60–90 seconds is ideal. Drawing too often overheats the tobacco and produces bitter smoke.
- Let the ash build — A solid inch of ash acts as a heat filter. Let it build to 1–1.5 inches before tapping gently.
- Don't smoke to the nub — Stop when about 2 inches remain; the last portion concentrates harshness and heat.
- Don't stub it out — Set the cigar in an ashtray and let it extinguish naturally.
Cigar Shop FAQs
Where can I buy premium cigars in Orlando?
535 Smoke Shop carries a curated selection of premium cigars at our 535 Smoke Shop — 8216 World Center Drive Ste D, Orlando FL 32821, open 24/7. We carry brands including Arturo Fuente, Padrón, Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta, Drew Estate, Oliva, Rocky Patel, and more. Call (407) 778-1326.
What are the best cigar brands for beginners?
For first-time cigar smokers, we recommend mild to mild-medium cigars. Top beginner choices: Drew Estate ACID Blondie or Kuba Kuba (infused, sweet, and non-harsh), Romeo y Julieta 1875 (mild, creamy, reliable), Davidoff Signature 2000 (silky and elegant), and Cohiba Connecticut (smooth Connecticut shade wrapper). Avoid full-body cigars like OpusX or Liga Privada No. 9 until you have 20+ cigars of experience.
What is the difference between mild, medium, and full body cigars?
Strength refers to nicotine and tobacco impact — not just flavor intensity. Mild cigars: smooth, creamy, minimal harshness, low nicotine (Davidoff, ACID). Medium: balanced strength and complexity, moderate nicotine (Cohiba Blue, Romeo y Julieta, Padrón 2000). Full body: powerful nicotine, complex and layered flavor, for experienced smokers (OpusX, Padrón Family Reserve, Oliva Serie V, Liga Privada No. 9).
How do I properly cut and light a cigar?
Cut: Use a sharp guillotine cutter to remove the cap — cut just below the shoulder, removing 1/16 to 1/8 inch. A clean cut prevents wrapper unraveling and ensures a proper draw. Light: Toast the foot (open end) with a soft flame 1–2 inches below the tobacco, rotating the cigar in a circle. Don't let the flame touch the tobacco directly. Draw slowly while rotating over the flame until the entire foot glows evenly.
Should I inhale cigar smoke?
No — cigars are not inhaled into the lungs. Draw the smoke into your mouth, hold it for a few seconds to taste the flavors, then release. Inhaling cigar smoke — especially full-bodied cigars — causes intense nicotine sickness, dizziness, and nausea. The entire experience of premium cigars is retrohaling (releasing through the nose) or mouth smoking, not lung inhalation.
What drinks pair well with cigars?
Mild cigars: champagne, light beer, white wine, coffee. Medium cigars: bourbon, scotch, craft IPA, red wine. Full cigars: aged rum, neat whiskey, añejo tequila, cognac, dark roast espresso. Alcohol and coffee complement cigar flavors by matching intensity levels — a mild cigar with a heavy whiskey can be overwhelming.
What is the best cigar brand overall?
It depends on your taste. For mild-medium: Davidoff and Romeo y Julieta. For medium: Padrón 2000 or Cohiba Blue. For full body and value: Oliva Serie V or AJ Fernandez New World. For the ultimate experience: Arturo Fuente OpusX or My Father Le Bijou 1922. For infused/flavored: Drew Estate ACID. Ask our staff — we'll match you with the right cigar based on your experience and preferences.
How long does it take to smoke a cigar?
It depends on size. A Robusto (5 in, ring 50) takes 45–60 minutes. A Toro (6 in, ring 52) takes 60–80 minutes. A Churchill (7 in, ring 47) can take 90–120 minutes. Larger ring gauges (Gordo, Gran Toro) smoke cooler and slower — 90+ minutes. Premium cigars are a ritual, not a rush.
