UdemyThis course takes you from complete novice to genuine expert in the specifics of cigars: construction, wrapper colors and origins, tobacco types and processing, the tools you need, how to light and smoke properly, and how to pair them with beer, wine, spirits, and sake. It even covers the history and cultural context.
Fair warning: the course gets technical at times. The instructor has chosen depth over simplicity, which means you walk away with real knowledge, not surface-level familiarity. Covers standard sizes, parejo and figurado shapes, and how to select based on what you're looking for.
For anyone who wants to appreciate cigars properly, regardless of their budget or background.
"A good Cuban cigar closes the door to the vulgarities of the world."
- Franz Liszt, Composer
While many first timers often believe you can simply, cut – light – and smoke a cigar, there is a specific process that needs to be followed and a few tools you’ll need to acquire.
This course will bring any novice to an expert, in an amazingly short amount of time.
WARNING: THIS COURSE GETS TECHNICAL AT TIMES! I have tried to be as detailed as possible. Some reviews have stated the course is too technical at times, but I think better to give too much info than not enough.
