To evaluate the flavor of a cigar, hold the smoke in your mouth for a few seconds and allow yourself to savor the different tastes and characteristics. When you are finished with your cigar don't stub it out or crush it, as this will create an unpleasant odor and a mess. You should let the cigar smolder out on its own in an ashtray and dispose of it in a suitable place. Be considerate of non-smokers. You should smoke only in designated smoking areas.
