Cigars and Whiskey Service

[Dez]

I'm doing a bit of research for an upcoming event which is focusing on the protocol service of cigars and whiskey, so I wanted to ask to good people of the forum how you like yours served?

I don't smoke but I am partial to a single malt. In winter, I usually prefer it neat. In the warmer months, on the rocks. Occasionally, I'll also have it with a dash of soda, but generally only the blended varieties, like a Chivas or JW.

Single Malt served with a small jug of water so i can add what i want or the whiskey needs. It needs to be good water.

Maybe they should Isn't whiskey just a distilled rather than brewed beer ?

A few notes about Cigar Etiquette
as told by Zino Davidoff (1967)


DOs:

Warm the foot of the cigar slightly before starting to puff on it.

Remove the band carefully after lighting the cigar.

Take your time smoking your cigar, a puff a minute is about right

Hold the cigar between your index finger and your thumb, not between your index finger and middle finger.

Allow the cigar to die a dignified death; after it’s smoked halfway, it will go out on its own.

Dispose of a dead cigar discreetly and quickly.

Wait at least 15 minutes between cigars as anything less indicates obsessive behavior.



DON’Ts:

Use a penknife to cut or pierce the end of the cigar.

Touch the flame directly to the foot of the cigar, simply rotate it around the edge instead, until it begins to burn, and then puff on it lightly.

Lighting a cigar should be a personal experience; never ask someone else for a light.

Light your cigar too slowly or too quickly.

Indulge in exhibitionism, whether you are lighting or smoking your cigar.

Relight your cigar if less than one quarter of it is leaf.

Put the cigar in your mouth to relight it.

Clench your cigar between your teeth.

Wet the end of your cigar.

Smoke too quickly.

Ever use a cigar holder.

Stick a toothpick or matchstick in the end of the cigar to help hold it in your mouth.

Dip your cigar in port or brandy.

Smoke whilst working.

Hold a cigar between your index and middle finger; always between thumb and index finger.

Smoke whilst walking in public.

Put the cigar out by crushing it in an ashtray.

Chain-smoke cigars.

I wonder if Bill Clinton lit or relit his cigar after he dampened his ??

But did he dip or not?

 

[XLNC]

But did he dip or not?

Knowing Bill, he probably double-dipped! I don't blame him: intern, internal -- so easy to get confused.
