To smoke a cigar is and it always will be a very personal journey in every sense. Because it is a journey to your inner world, the most sublime of all journeys. That is why you need to select the territory of flavor, the brand, the size, the moment, the element to pair it with, the flame to start this wonderful journey.

A gentle flame lighter, a blowtorch, some matches or a cedar stick can initiate this trip, it all depends on each traveler, his choices his pleasure.

Among all, I think, the cedar plank it the most glamorous and romantic way to start this journey. A plank that is made of a cigar box already empty, timeless, charged with the aromas of the woods and nature. A stick that when lit comes alive and lights up the trip, infusing the passive cigar, the accomplice that will come with us for a moment in time, in our journey to our inner world.

For a successful ignition, you should heat and light up the plank cautiously. Once lighted, keeping a prudent distance, bring the flame to the base of the cigar. The heat and the patient, constant turning of the cigar to attain a uniform lighting will make of this ritual a luxurious and passionate moment.
