How to tell if your cigar is of the highest quality? Check the ashtray—the ashes left behind can speak volumes about the quality of your cigar. Here a few simple tips to determining the quality of your cigar.

A lot of people may look back to the time when start smoking cigars. For some it could have been a celebratory occasion, such as a milestone birthday, a birth (they make those pretty pink and blue cigars for either a boy or girl!), a marriage or landing your first job. There are many events in society that a lot of people honor with a cigar and the good company of others that can share in the excitement and take a moment to relax and appreciate the good with a fine cigar.
Then there are others who feel there is a certain time or place for cigar smoking and when start smoking cigars and feel there should be punishment for those who start to young. What if you find cigars in the nightstand of your son or daughter when you have never smoked a cigar with them, and feel they are too young to partake in such a habit? What do you do then?
A lot of parent’s that have been through this situation, when they found out that when start smoking cigars on behalf of their daughter or son was without their knowledge. They have simply placed the cigars on the child’s bed, out of their hiding place, while they were out of the house. Then when the child returned, they would know they were caught and figure out how they were going to fess up to smoking to their parents. It is best that the parents wait for the child to come to them, instead of saying something and forcing the child…be patient.
