Cigars are an art form, and there is an air of elegance and sophistication in smoking them.

Needless to say, the most enjoyable portion is selecting the cigar from the box or the humidor, sitting down with a group of buddies, and smoking it from beginning to end. At Festival, we like to think that everyone should know a little about the art of smoking cigars, even if you’ve never smoked one.
