Learning a new craft requires you to devote a certain amount of time in order to fully understand how it works and how you would live through another day when you join a group that speaks alien language. This also runs the same when you decide to enter the cigar smoking group since, believe it or not, there are over 64 terms used by true afficionados. You might even start to wonder if there are only variations to the mainstays such as the cigar cutter, cigar humidifier, hydrometer, taste and color.

As a sampler to the over 64 terms used by true afficionados, here are some words you should know and keep in handy so that when you meet up with your cigar smoking friends at poker night, you would look so cigar savvy immediately:

1) Amatista is not the name of the wrestler but a glass jar that could carry around 25 cigars.

2) Band could have boy for a prefix but this is that foil that binds the tobacco leaves that keeps the cigar in one rolled state.

3) Cap does not go to your head and proceed to a baseball game. This is a leaf that is placed on the cigar’s head to close the wrapper.

4) Draw may be present during poker night but this is the amount of air that you pull after lighting your cigar.

5) Finish would not make you stand up and leave since it is all about that lingering taste in your mouth after you puffed. It is also considered the after taste which has different flavors depending on the complexity of the cigar.

Even though there are over 64 terms used by true afficionados, it would be best for you to just play everything by ear first. Learn the important terms that will help you get acquainted with the cigar of your choice. It is not that hard to understand them since you can research more about your cigar. By the next poker night, you will be top of your game and can say you have evolved from a cigarette smoker to an exquisite cigar smoker.
