Hi Mike--welcome to the great world of cigars. Maybe when you get a minute, you can tell us about yourself so we can get to know you.

You remove the cedar sleeve before lighting the cigar. I hope you enjoy your smoke!

LOL First remove the cellophane, then remove the cedar sleeve and any ribbons.

Clip the cigar light it and THEN smoke it.

Definitely take the cedar sleeve off before smoking it. The real question is, do you leave the cedar sleeve on while it's in your humidor? (This is a common question that you can find in numerous other threads, and is really a matter of preference). The black is a good cigar, IMO, though not as good as some of CAO's other sticks.
