OK here is something that I am embarrassed to ask but what the heck.
Why do we "toast" the foot? Al walks away in shame of not knowing this after all these years.......... |

Can someone give me a basic understanding of wraps? What are the flavor differences between Connecticut, Maduro, Natural, etc?
Plus, how does a different wrap generally change the flavor of a given cigar? To use a current popular cigar as an example -- the new special edition Oliva serie V Maduro. The wrap is the biggest difference between it and the "regular" Serie V, correct? How does that change the flavor profile?

Here's a quick link that describes a few flavors you may pick up from different wrappers.
http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/06/192227.php Since everyone's palate is different, one's flavor pick up of cherry is anothers licorice. The wrapper on a cigar is sometimes said to provide up to 60% of the flavor. Your example of the Oliva V Maduro is excellent since it's basically the same as the regular V. With a 60% change in flavor due to the wrapper, it's almost like smoking a completely different cigar. La Aurora did a run of the 1495 series called the connoisseur collection that provided the same filler with 4 different wrappers (Connecticut, Cameroon, Brazil and Corojo). Each providing a completely different smoking experience. -Evan |

I agree. Also, when you attempt to light a cigar by drawing on it, it seems to be bitter, like and overheated cigar (ex. smoking too quickly). I feel that by toasting the end, you get a cooler, smoother smoke and a more even burn throughout.

I figured this would be as good a first post as any
![]() I am currently browsing cigarsinternational.com, and have my eyes on some cigars to try out for the first time. In my cart are a 5-pack or CAO MX2's and another 5-pack of Rocky Patel Fusions. Any other suggestions (top one or two for the beginner) as to which cigars would be wise in which to invest? Also, I need a cutter and a lighter. I am set on the lighter, but am confused as to which type of cutter to get. I see more guillotines floating around than any other type, which would make it seem to me as though they are the most widely bought. Are there any issues with specific cutters regarding the condition of the cigar once cut? Thank you in advance for the input! |

I've begun toasting the foot and blowing on it until I've got a good even cherry before I even take a draw. It makes for a much smoother smoke and a great burn. Try it. BlackIrish

By creating an even light you create an even burn (unless there is something wrong with the smoke). I hold the flame away from the foot as not to char it but let the heat of flame ignite the foot. ~Mark |

I've always wondered this... even if the flame doesn't touch the foot, doesn't the heat "char" the foot when it starts off gassing before it ignites?
