The Biggest Cigar Myths—Busted by Experts
The cigar world is filled with tradition—and misinformation. Let’s clear the smoke and debunk the most common cigar myths with expert insight.
Myth #1: Dark Cigars Are Always Stronger
Color doesn’t equal strength. A dark wrapper often means richer flavor, not higher nicotine.
Myth #2: Expensive Cigars Are Just Marketing
Premium cigars reflect:
- Aged tobacco leaves
- Handcrafted construction
- Expert blending
At El Septimo, pricing reflects craftsmanship—not hype.
Myth #3: Cigars Improve With Any Storage
Without proper humidity, cigars dry out or crack. Use a quality humidor to protect your investment.
Ideal Cigar Storage Conditions
- Humidity: 65–70%
- Temperature: 18–21°C
Myth #4: You Must Smoke the Whole Cigar
There’s no rule saying you must finish it. Quality enjoyment matters more than completion.
