Despite the fact that both cigars and
cigarettes possess tobacco the main difference is that a cigar is wrapped in
tobacco leaf, or any other material containing tobacco. But tobacco in
cigarettes is wrapped in paper. Generally cigars are bigger and thicker than
cigarettes, they last longer and posses more tobacco and of course costly.
Tobacco and Nicotine Content
One cigar can possess as much
tobacco as a whole cigarette pack. Cigars generally have between 100 to 200 mg
of nicotine each while a cigarettes about 10mg.
How to Smoke a Cigar and a Cigarette
Before smoking a cigar, you should
cut it appropriately by inserting the cigar into special cutter and cut it
about 1/16 to 1/8 inch from the end. When lighting the cigar, hold it around
the band with your fingers and place into your mouth. While puffing rotate the
cigar without allowing it to touch the flame. Rotate it for at least 10 to 15
seconds. Cigarettes are easier to smoke, a
single puff is usually enough to light a cigarette. The smoke is inhaled when
smoking a cigarette.
The main difference is that when lighting
a cigar, the smoke is not inhaled. Unlike cigarette smoke, you are able to
enjoy the taste of a cigar smoke only in your mouth without taking it into your
lungs.
