rules of thumb
  • Time: plan on about 1 hour to 1 h 30 min for a 6-inch size.

  • Pair with: espresso, stout, or an aged 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.
