Fan Mail: Your Burning Cigar Questions, Answered (Part 39)

Cigar Questions. Video Answers.

Three more reader questions caught our eye this month; but rather than just keep these Q&As between us, we thought these tips and tidbits were share-worthy enough to include in this Fan Mail.

After all, knowing more will help you enjoy your cigars more.

In this month’s videos, Jared has answered a question about how cigar cello is made…Gary does a demo of a trick to fix unraveling cigar wrappers…and John has a few shortcuts that will help you pick the right drink to pair with your favorite cigar.

So, he wrote to us and asked if one of us could actually demonstrate it on video. So I tried it for myself – watch now and see if it really works. . .

By John Pullo

Rob in Illinois inspired this Happy Hour edition of Fan Mail, when he asked which should come first when pairing cigars and drinks: the cigars, or the drinks?
