品尝雪茄是一种极好的放松方式，或者是在一个特殊的庆祝场合品尝雪茄。在抽雪茄之前,你必须知道如何选择正确雪茄的类型,剪雪茄,点燃雪茄。点燃雪茄是仔细品味雪茄的味道，而不是吸入烟雾。如果你想知道如何像专业人士那样抽一根雪茄,可遵循这些步骤。
Choose the Cigar 如何选择雪茄
Familiarize yourself with the varieties of cigars.
你得自己熟悉不同类型的雪茄。
Instead of choosing the first cigar you'll see, you should knowhow to recognize each different type of cigar, and even ask a salesman for helpwhen you're deciding on a type of cigar. Being aware of the different types ofcigars will make you feel more knowledgeable when you actually start smokingthem. There is a variety of cigars to choose from.
而不是选择你看到第一支雪茄, 你应该知道如何识别不同类型的雪茄, 甚至要求推销员帮助你决定雪茄的类型。当你真正开始吸烟时，注意到不同类型的雪茄会让你感觉更有见识。有各种各样的雪茄选择。
雪茄长度 (length) 计量单位一般用英寸(Inch)来表示：1 Inch=2.54 cm
雪茄的直径(以雪茄头部为准)用一个专业名词“环径(ring gauge)”来表示：1环=1/64 Inch 约合 0.04 cm = 0.4 mm(如果一支雪茄的环径是32/64，则表示这支雪茄有半英寸粗。)
基于大多数中国消费者习惯用公制单位进行计算，为使计算时有更为直观的印象，我们以著名的COHIBA Esplendido 为例(其长度为7 Inch环径是47/64 Inch )为大家演示公制计算方法。具体如下：
长度换算：7 inch × 2.54 cm = 17.78 cm
环径： 47/64 = 47 inch × 0.04 cm = 1.88 cm
正因为雪茄的尺寸种类多，跨度大，所以挑选的余地也大。古巴有一句著名的谚语：30岁时，抽环径30的雪茄；50岁时，抽环径50的雪茄。然而，正象口味的选择一样，尺寸的选择也全凭个人的喜好。大尺寸的雪茄烟芯内部烟叶种类丰富，香味也就多样化。
The Corona. This cigar measures 6 inches (15.2 cm) by42-ring gauge -- this refers to the diameter of the cigar. This cigar has anopen foot (the part that is lit) and a closed and rounded head (the part thatyou smoke).
The Pyramid. This cigar has a pointed, closed head.
The Torpedo. This cigar has a bulge in the middle and a pointedhead and closed foot.
The Perfecto. This is like the Torpedo, except it has a bulge inthe middle and two closed ends, making it a rounder cigar.
The Panatela. This cigar measures 7 inches (17.8 cm) by38-ring gauge and is longer and thinner than the Corona.
The Culebra. This cigar is made of three Panatellas braidedtogether. It looks like a thick rope.
皇冠/花冠烟 (长雪茄烟) 这种雪茄是6英寸 (15.2厘米) 42环规的措施——这是指直径的雪茄。这类雪茄有一个开放的底部(点燃的部分)和一个封闭的圆头(你吸烟部分)。
金字塔。这种雪茄是尖的,封闭的头。
鱼雷。这种雪茄是中间凸起,头和底部关闭。
两头尖的雪茄。这就像鱼雷,它有一个凸起在中间和两头封闭的目的,使之成为一个圆润的雪茄。
一端削尖的细长雪茄。这种雪茄是7英寸(17.8厘米)38环规的措施, ,比皇冠要长、薄。
库莱布拉雪茄。这种雪茄是由三个细长雪茄编织在一起。它看起来像一个粗绳。
Choose a mild cigar (or a few).
选择一个口味淡的雪茄（或者少选一些）。
To getstarted, you'll need to start sampling a few different kinds of cigars. Don'tget too eager and buy an entire box of the same kind of cigar only to find thatyou can't stand the first one. Instead, find several varieties of cigars thatmay suit your needs. You should start with a mild cigar, which will not only beless expensive, but will have less of an intense flavor and will be better forbeginners.
刚开始的时候,你需要开始抽一些不同种类的雪茄样品。不要太急切,买了一整盒相同的雪茄,却发现你接受不了第一个。相反,找到几个不同品种的雪茄,可以满足您的需求。你应该开始口味淡的雪茄,这个更便宜,相对减少强烈的味道,对于新手来说会更好。
1、初学者宜选择小尺寸，轻淡的雪茄作为入门，一来节省金钱，二来不会被呛到。
2、若有足够时间可选择七英寸长的雪茄慢慢享用，若时间紧迫，不妨改为五英寸长的雪茄。否则搁置一段时间再抽，会破坏口感。
3、勿像吸烟一样吸得太多，过多吸食会逐渐感觉头昏恶心，影响健康。
4、一般浓雪茄才配烈酒，要不烈酒的味道会完全盖过雪茄味。
5、不要狂抽，避免雪茄烧得太快或太热。有规律的每次一小口地抽，保持雪茄稳定火候，才能尽情发挥其芳香。
The longer and wider a cigar is, the more intense it will be. If you're a beginner, you should start with a longer and thinner cigar instead of a small stubby one, which will make you more likely to cough.
更长更宽雪茄是很强烈的。如果你是一个初学者,你应该抽长的、薄的雪茄，而不是抽一个小粗短型的雪茄,这将使你更容易咳嗽。
Inspect the cigar.
检查雪茄
Before you buy the cigar,you should gently squeeze it to make sure that there aren't any spots that are too hard or too soft. This may indicate that the cigar will give you a bad draw or that it won't even be smokable. You should also look out for lumps in thecigar, and make sure that the tobacco at the end isn't discolored, and that thewrapper isn't discolored either.
在你买雪茄之前检查雪茄,你应该温柔地挤压它,以确保没有任何斑点太硬或太软。这可能表明雪茄可能会给你一个糟糕的画面,或者不可以点燃抽吸它。同时你也应该找出雪茄肿块,最后确保烟草不变色,而且包装也不变色。
Store the cigar appropriately.
正确的储存雪茄。
If youown or have purchased a humidor, a box for storing cigars, then make sure tostore them in the box immediately. If you don't own one, then don't buy more than a few cigars because they will dry out in a couple of days. Do not take them out of their cellophane packing either. Don't leave a cigar unprotected.Store them in Tupperware or another sealed container.
适当的存储雪茄。如果你拥有或购买了雪茄盒,存储一盒雪茄,然后确保将它们立即存储在盒子里。如果你没有一个雪茄盒,不要买太多雪茄,因为他们将在几天变干。不要从玻璃纸包装拿出雪茄。不要让雪茄离开密封柜子。将它们存储在特百惠或另一个密封的容器中。
Cut the Cigar 剪雪茄
Place the blade down on the cigar.
将雪茄刀正面朝向雪茄。
To cut the cigar, you'll have to cut into the cap, which is placed on the head of the cigar to keep it from drying out. Ideally, you'll beusing a guillotine (a single-bladed cutter), but you can also use a reallysharp knife or blade. Don't use dull scissors, your teeth, or a butter knifeunless you want to tear the cigar. Just tap the head (or the cap) of the cigar with the blade to put it in position. Don't cut into it yet.
Aim the blade to the place where the cigar meets the wrapper,which would keep the cap from falling off.
用剪雪茄你需要剪切掉茄帽,放在雪茄头部保持干燥。理想情况下,你应该使用一个裁切机(刮刀刀),但你也可以使用一个非常锋利的刀或刀片。不要使用钝剪刀、牙齿或黄油刀,除非你想把雪茄撕裂。只需将雪茄头放在雪茄刀的位置。还不切掉它。
目标刀片的地方雪茄符合包装器,这将防止茄帽脱落。
Cut the cigar with one 'chop.'
The goal in cutting it is to let yourself smoke the cigar without ruining itsoriginal shape. Hold the cigar with one hand and the guillotine with the other.Place the head of the cigar into the guillotine and cut into its cap, about1/16 to 1/8 of an inch (.15 to .3 cm) down. Slice off the cap (or head) in onequick chop.
If you do it more slowly or tentatively, you'll be more likelyto tear the wrapper.用一个“砍切雪茄。“我们目的是剪掉茄帽让自己抽雪茄,不破坏原来的形状。用一只手拿着雪茄和剪切其他。雪茄茄帽它切成约1/16-1/8英寸(15-3厘米)。剪切茄帽用一个快速切。如果你做得慢或犹豫不决的,你就有可能撕碎茄衣。
Light the Cigar
点燃雪茄
Choose the right lighter.
选择正确的打火机。
Long wood matches or a butane lighter are preferable becausethey won't alter the flavor of the cigar. Don't use paper matches, gaslighters, or -- worst of all -- scented candles. You can also get a cigarlighter at the store.
长木火柴或丁烷打火机是可取的,因为他们不会改变雪茄的味道。不要使用纸火柴,气体打火机,或者最糟糕的是——香味蜡烛。你可以在商店买一个打火机。
Warm the tobacco in the foot of the cigar.
预热雪茄烟草的底部。
The foot of the cigar is the part you'll actually light. Holdthe flame below the foot without touching it, and rotate the cigar a few timesuntil the foot is evenly warmed. This will warm up your tobacco and make iteasier to light.
雪茄底部是你会点燃的部分。在火焰上旋转雪茄几次,保持没有碰它底部,直到底部均匀加热。预热的烟草将更容易点燃热。
要给雪茄预热：将雪茄放在火的上方，轻轻地转动进行加热，雪茄距离火焰的距离一般在2厘米左右为宜，根据雪茄的粗细转动2至3圈即可。
Lightthe cigar.
点燃雪茄。
Hold the flame in front of the cigar without touching it. Then,inhale just enough so that the cigar is lit. Make sure not to inhale the smoke.
雪茄火焰前方不碰它。然后吸入足够的雪茄。确保不要吸入烟雾。
Lightly blow on the foot of the cigar (optional).
轻轻吹下底部的雪茄(可不吹)。
You can do this to make sure that the light is evenlydistributed. To check if the cigar is fully lit, turn the lit end towards yourmouth and gently blow on it; the lit portions will light up orange.
你可以确保光线均匀分布。检查是否完全点燃雪茄,把点燃一头对你的嘴轻轻地吹,点燃了的部分将照亮橙色。
雪茄点好了，香气先已在空气中四溢，但是请不要急于吸食第一口，而应轻轻反吹两口，驱除雪茄在点烟时吸入的杂气，再抽第一口。注意不要像吸烟一样将烟气吸入肺部，而应慢慢地吸一口到口腔（puff，抽空烟），让雪茄的香气在口中盘旋之后就慢慢吐出。需要说明的是，这一点对于健康的意义同样重要，因为第一口吸入肺部的雪茄所含的尼古丁和焦油的含量是一般香烟的5倍。
Smoke the cigar
抽雪茄
Smoke it.
吸食雪茄
Hold the cigar up to your mouthand draw in the smoke. Then, hold it in your mouth for a few seconds to tasteit, and then let it go. Do notinhale the cigar smoke. Acigar is not like a cigarette. The flavor is meant to be savored, but notinhaled.
让烟在口腔流连。然后让它在嘴里停几秒钟去品味它,然后让它出去。不要吸入雪茄的烟雾。雪茄不像一支香烟。雪茄是享受味道,但不吸入。
由于吸食雪茄和吸食香烟有些不同，典型的雪茄吸食者是不会把雪茄的烟吸入到达肺部，而是让烟在口腔流连，所以，雪茄吸食者患上肺气肿和肺癌的比率比起香烟吸食者低，但比非吸烟者高。
Puff and rotate the cigar every30 seconds to a minute.
每30秒到一分钟吸一口烟和旋转雪茄。
Continue to do this to keep thecigar in good form. Remember that a good cigar can last 2 to 3 hours.
继续保持雪茄的好形式。记住,一个好的雪茄可以持续2到3小时。
Remove the band after twelvepuffs or so.
吸了十二口后拿掉帽圈。
The band is placed on the cigar to prevent the tobacco fromtearing, but you won't need it anymore once you lit the cigar. After twelve orso puffs, the band will already be starting to fall off on its own due to theheat.
帽圈放在雪茄防止烟草流泪,但是你不再需要它一旦你点燃了雪茄。吸了十二口后, 帽圈已经开始自行脱落由于热量。
Enjoy your cigar with an alcoholic beverage.
与酒精一起享受你的雪茄。
Though you're not required to enjoy your cigar with an alcoholicbeverage, an alcoholic beverage can enhance the smoking experience and canbring out the flavors of the cigar. Some great beverages for smoking a cigarinclude port, cognac, bourbon or scotch, or red wine -- especially CabernetSauvignon.
A coffee-based beverage -- or even coffee -- can also bring outthe flavor in a cigar.
Though a cigar can overpower the flavor of many beers, an IndiaPale Ale (IPA) beer is a perfect companion to almost any cigar.

Extinguish the cigar when you're done smoking.
当你完成吸食扑灭雪茄。
Simply set it aside in the ashtray. The cigar will extinguishitself after a minute or two without you puffing on it. Before you set it down,gently blow through the cigar to expel any smoke that will go stale. Relightinga cigar after this period has passed generally results in a strong, bittertaste; as a result, most aficionados prefer to throw out a smoked cigar.
简单地把它放到一边的烟灰缸。如果你不抽雪茄它将在一两分钟后自己熄灭。你把它放下来之前,轻轻吹过雪茄烟灰并驱逐烟雾。之后重新点火后的雪茄通常导致没有强烈的苦味;因此大多数爱好者喜欢扔掉抽过的雪茄。
