Here’s a reminder to new cigar smokers if you’re getting resin Or a bitter taste on your lips smoking a cigar it usually comes from one of two things.

1.you’re smoking too fast/hard - slow down give it 45-60 seconds between puffs or if you like it a bit hotter 30

2.your cigar is too moist. If your cigar is a bit squishy and you’re getting resin on your lips or even just a bitter after taste on your lips try sitting your cigar out to dry for 20-30 mins before smoking it and it’ll make a world of difference!
