When lighting a cheroot, start by holding it in your hands, and placing its tip above the flame, making sure you do not puff on it yet. The aim is to burn the end before you place it in your mouth, in order to prime the end pieces of tobacco. Try to roll the lit end of the cheroot, so as to burn the end evenly. Once you see an orange glow at the cheroot’s tip, you are ready to begin puffing. Try not to inhale the smoke from your cheroot, because if you do, it will most likely result in quite profuse coughing. Instead, imagine the cheroot is like a straw, and in the same way as you would suck a straw, draw the smoke into your mouth, and then breathe it out without further inhalation. Once you have done this four or five times, your cheroot will start producing thick white smoke. At this point, you can slow down, perhaps taking a puff every two to three minutes to keep it alight. Depending on the size of your cheroot, smoking it could take between 30 minutes to two hours.
