Plymouth Cigar Shop Manager Shows How to Cut and Light a Cigar

Canton resident Christine Vega has worked at La Casa Plymouth since it first opened under the name La Casa de la Habana in 2000 - so she's fairly used to answering questions for first-time smokers. 

"I always steer them towards something mild, and usually, nothing too long," she said. "You don't want them smoking this giant cigar. And then, usually, I just give them some pointers, like 'make sure you eat first - very important' because sometimes that might effect your stomach if you're a newbie and not used to it."

Vega said just make sure you have good company, then sit back and enjoy it. 

Just make you have a lighter handy, a cutter handy, and you're good to go," she said. "Really, it's a very simple hobby."
