What Makes a Good Cigar for Beginners?
For someone just starting in the UAE, a good cigar should have three main characteristics:
- Manageable Strength: Beginners should generally start with “Mild” to “Medium” strength to avoid being overwhelmed.
- Quality Construction: A well-rolled cigar ensures an even burn and a smooth draw, which is vital for enjoying the subtle notes.
- Authenticity: In a market with many imitations, ensuring your cigar is 100% original is the only way to experience its true flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Should I start with a full-sized cigar or a cigarillo?
If you are short on time, a cigarillo is perfect. However, for a full experience, a mild-to-medium sized cigar allows you to taste the evolution of flavors more clearly.
How should I store my cigars in the Dubai heat?
Temperature and humidity are critical. Always keep your premium cigars in a humidor to prevent them from drying out in the UAE’s climate.
Is there a difference between “Little Cigars” and “Hand-rolled Cigars”?
Yes, little cigars like Captain Black are often machine-made, while premium cigars are hand-rolled and meant for savoring the aroma without inhaling.
