Cutting your cigar correctly is imperative to ensure that you have the ultimate experience enjoying your cigar. It is highly recommended that you use a purpose-built cigar cutter to cut the cap off the head of the cigar. Using instruments such as scissors or a knife to cut your cigar can jeopardise the quality as incorrect cutting can lead to the cigar unravelling. There are various cutters which you can use, to view our full selection of cutters we have available, please click here. There are many cut types which you can choose from, every option works equally the same however it is up to your personal preference. For cigar novices we recommend a guillotine straight cut.

We recommend using a cedar lined humidor to store your cigars for longevity. Cigars should be kept at a temperature between 18 and 22 degree celsius with a relative humidity between 65% and 75%. To view our entire range of relative humidity control and humidors please visit our accessories page.

For more information on storing your cigars correctly, please view our Cigar Storage Guidelines.

As cigars are organic product, their quality responds based on the environment in which they are kept. As such, incorrectly storing your cigars can cause them to dry out. Once a cigar has dried out, it is very difficult to restore the moisture, oils and flavours back into them. If your cigars dry out and you wish to revive them, we recommend starting with a lower relative humidity control and gradually increasing humidity of the storage environment every week. Please bear in mind the cigars may not go back to optimal condition once they have dried out.

Following the Cigar Storage Guidelines is always a great place to start. At The Index we only stock the most premium and sophisticated humidors which all include a hygrometer. A hygrometer is the apparatus that indicates the water and humidity levels within your humidor.

A ring gauge on a cigar indicates the diameter of the cigar. When measuring a cigar there is two commonly used dimensions being the ring gauge (diameter) and the length. These two measurements with then determine the estimated burn time of a cigar. Ring gauge is measured in 1/64th of an inch. If a cigar has a 52 ring gauge that means that the cigar diameter is 52/64 of an inch.

At The Index we are so proud to offer an unparalleled range of brands to our clients. We stock over 60 esteemed brands. To discover our full list, we invite you to view our brands page.

While there is no exact science on how you can appreciate your cigars, a general rule of thumb is that you can relight your cigar, however the longer you leave your cigar unlit before relighting the more likely it is that the composition of the cigar can change.

Plume is a naturally occurring by product of appropriately ageing cigars. Plume can appear periodically and is a good sign that you are storing your cigars in optimal conditions. Plume does not affect the experience of your cigar and you will only notice elevated flavours and composition.

Plume is easily identifiable as subtle white specs on your cigar. The plume can be easily dusted off with a soft stroke or with your fingertips. You can leave plume on your cigars until you are ready to enjoy it and you may also leave plume on your cigars while you are enjoying it. We recommend to remove plume from the head so as to not interfere with the flavour profile of the cigar.
