The extra paper that you find in Black and Milds is actually a filter paper. This paper is added to the cigar to provide a smoother smoking experience by filtering out some of the tar and other substances from the smoke. However, some people prefer to remove this filter paper for various reasons.
To remove the filter paper, you will need to carefully unwrap the cigar. Start by examining the cigar and identifying the end where the filter paper is located. This end is usually slightly thicker than the rest of the cigar. Gently peel back the outer layer of paper, being careful not to tear it.
Once you have peeled back the outer layer, you will see the additional layer of filter paper lining the inside of the cigar. This paper is typically white or tan in color and may be slightly sticky. Use your fingers or a pair of tweezers to carefully remove this filter paper. Be patient and take your time to ensure that you remove all of the paper.
After removing the filter paper, you may notice some loose tobacco inside the cigar. Blow on the tip of the cigar to remove any remaining shreds of tobacco. This will help to ensure a smooth and enjoyable smoking experience.
It is important to note that removing the filter paper will likely change the smoking characteristics of the cigar. The filter paper is designed to filter out some of the harshness and flavor of the smoke. Without the filter paper, the smoke may be stronger and more full-bodied. Some people prefer this, while others may find it too harsh.
Ultimately, whether or not to remove the filter paper is a matter of personal preference. Some people enjoy the smoothness and mildness that the filter paper provides, while others prefer the stronger flavor without it. I would recommend trying both options to see which one you prefer.
In my personal experience, I have tried smoking Black and Milds both with and without the filter paper. I found that removing the filter paper resulted in a stronger and more flavorful smoke. However, I also noticed that the smoke was slightly harsher and less smooth. Ultimately, I decided to keep the filter paper intact to maintain a more mellow smoking experience.
The extra paper in Black and Milds is a filter paper that is added to provide a smoother smoking experience. However, it is possible to remove this filter paper if desired. Whether or not to remove the filter paper is a matter of personal preference and can alter the smoking characteristics of the cigar. It is recommended to try both options to determine which one suits your taste.
