Cigar ritual and cigar cellar


The cigar ritual refers to the service accompanying the close of a meal, where an attendant presents a cigar cellar, a humidor kept around seventy percent relative humidity to preserve the freshness of the leaves. The guest selects a vitola, the cut is made with a guillotine or punch, and lighting with cedar wood avoids sulphur notes. The service is often paired with a digestif, in a dedicated lounge compliant with local regulations.
