Choose the Right Place
The choice of location is crucial. Opt for a quiet place where you can relax without being disturbed. A terrace, a garden or a quiet corner of your living room can be perfect options.
Make sure you have plenty of room to sit comfortably, with comfortable seating, such as club chairs or Adirondack chairs.
Create a Comfortable Atmosphere
The atmosphere is essential for a successful cigar tasting experience. Add comfort elements such as cushions, throws and rugs to make the space welcoming. Use dim lighting, such as lanterns or tealights, to create a warm ambiance.

A humidor is essential for storing and maintaining your cigars at the correct humidity. Choose a quality humidor that can accommodate your collection. Make sure it has a good humidity control system to keep your cigars fresh.
Accessories and Tools
Prepare accessories such as a quality cigar cutter , torch lighters , ashtrays and highball glasses. These elements will enhance your tasting experience.
Selection of Cigars
Keep a variety of cigars in your tasting area to suit all tastes. Choose cigars of different strengths and flavors so you can match them on different occasions.
Know-how
Cigar tasting is a personal experience. Take your time to appreciate the flavors and aromas. Feel free to take notes on your preferences.
Music and Entertainment
Add a touch of background music or entertainment to make the experience even more enjoyable. A jazz or classical music playlist can perfectly accompany a cigar tasting.
