Black and Mild cigars come with a wood or plastic tip. The process is the same for both versions of the cigar. If you don’t have a pair of scissors, you can peel the wrapper where it’s sealed at the top. This will make it harder to pour the tobacco back in though.
Be careful not to crush the paper and damage the cigar. Start rubbing gently and slowly to remove the tobacco.
Because the wrapper is bigger than the cigar itself, you shouldn’t need to fully remove it from the plastic wrap to make enough space.
If the tip does fall of, you can pinch the cigar back into the tip. The quality of your smoke won’t be as good though.
You can cut a 45-degree angle into the end of the wrapper that you initially cut to make it easier to pour back in later on.
Blow on the tip of the cigar to get out any remaining shreds of tobacco. Keep the tip on the cigar. You don’t need to remove it to remove the paper.
Use your nondominant hand to keep the cigar stationary as you roll.
If the paper isn’t loose enough, you may need to roll the cigar in the middle. If you do, avoid crushing the cigar paper by rolling it delicately. You can use a pair of tweezers if you aren’t confident that you can pull the paper out without breaking the cigar.
Adding a ball of filter paper back to the cigar will prevent the tobacco from getting into your mouth while smoking, and will create a kind of filter without having to burn it.
Make sure that you’re holding your cigar and wrapper over the sheet of paper that you put down in the event that you accidentally pour some of the tobacco out.
It’s hard to get all the tobacco in, so don’t force it or you’ll risk ripping the paper. Some people like to leave a bit of room at the tip and fold the paper over until they’re ready to smoke.
Keep an eye on the cigar paper while you pack the tobacco. If it starts to bend or crease, stop packing so you don’t break it.
