rules of thumb
  • Time: plan on about 50 minutes to 1 h 15 min for a 5.1-inch size.

  • Pair with: espresso, port, or a dark rum.
  • Pace: about a puff a minute keeps it cool and lets the flavors change from third to third. Do not inhale.
  • Before lighting: cut just above the cap line, toast the foot evenly, and take a cold draw to check it.
