Article: Cigars come in many sizes, so when shopping for a cigar, choose a cigar you could see yourself smoking. Smell the cigar beforehand, too; if its smell is appealing, you will probably enjoy smoking it. Additionally, choose a cigar without gaps or tears in its wrapper, and avoid cigars that are mottled, spotted, or flakey.  Cigars can be up to an inch thick; if you're a new smoker, consider choosing a smaller one. A cigar should never crumble in your hands. If you're cigar shopping online, always read others' reviews to make sure the cigar is good quality. This includes wooden matches, torch lighters, or butane lighters; petrol lighters and candles should not be used because the odors from them will overwhelm the taste of the cigar. If you are using a match, let the head of the match completely burn out before toasting the cigar, or you may inhale a sulfur taste. When you are sure the match or lighter is lit, hold the cigar in your hand. You can hold the cigar with your thumb and pointer finger.  When using matches, wait a brief moment after lighting the match for the initial flame to reduce to a more manageable size. If you are using matches, you may need more than one to light the cigar. Do not hold the flame too close to your face. You will put the lit flame once inch from the foot of the cigar (the end you do not inhale from). Hold the cigar at a 45 degree angle very close to but not directly into the flame. This will prepare it for lighting. Gently rotate the cigar as you toast it.  Toasting the foot of the cigar dries out the tobacco leaves to prepare them to light. Toast the cigar until the tip is smoldering. Sometimes, people just toast the cigar until it lights. After toasting the cigar for a few moments, it will begin to smoke. It isn't lit yet, but it is ready to be lit. At this time, you can place the cigar in between your lips. This draws the flame into the cigar and lights the end. Just as before, do not hold the cigar into the flame, but just above it. Never inhale cigar smoke as if you are smoking a cigarette; this can cause an unpleasant feeling and can make you nauseous.  You can blow gently across the lit end of the cigar to see how evenly it has been lit. When it is evenly lit, the entire end will glow. You want to only put the very end of your cigar in your mouth to avoid getting too much saliva on the end. Continue to puff the cigar and rotate it until the tip is glowing.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose a well-made cigar you want to smoke. Use an odorless flame to light the cigar. Light your match or a butane lighter. Toast the cigar. Place the cigar in your mouth when it begins to smolder. Take short puffs from the unlighted end while holding the cigar close to the flame.

Problem: Article: To make a bean bag chair, you will need to create two bags: an inner bag that will hold the “beans,” and an exterior cover to go over it. Since the inner bag will be out of sight, go with something simple and affordable, like white cotton quilting fabric. Save your money for the cover’s material.  You can alter the dimensions as you wish, but these instructions are for a bag 28 inches (0.71 m) high with a 50-inch (1.27 m) diameter. For this size, each length of fabric needs to be 6 yards (5.49 m) long and 60 inches (1.54 m) wide. Buy an equal length and width of fabric for the chair’s exterior. Since this will be on the outside, pick whatever fabric pleases you most. Consider both its visual appeal and how it feels to the touch. This could be anything from:  Corduroy Denim Flannel Fleece Velour For durability, go with expanding foam. However, be aware that expanding foam is vacuum-sealed when packaged, so expect it to expand very quickly as soon as you open the package. This means you have to work just as quickly once it’s time to fit it into your inner bag. If you think you will have some difficulty with this, consider an alternate material.  For this size chair, you will need a 30 lb (13.6 kg) package of foam measuring 36” x 36” x 48” (0.91 x 0.91 x 1.22 m). As an alternate material, you could also use packing peanuts. Just be sure they are the type that won’t dissolve when exposed to water, just in case you spill anything over your bean bag chair.
Summary: Buy a cheap fabric for the interior. Choose something comfy for the cover. Pick your filler.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Trimming your beard once a week reduces the possibility of split hairs, which can make your beard rougher. If you have a very detailed beard, you may need to trim it more often to maintain the shape or design. Before trimming, start with a clean beard. However, you don't want to trim your beard while it's wet. After cleaning, let your beard dry  out before attempting to trim it. Clippers may seem like the easier option, but when it comes to your beard, scissors are actually a better idea. Clippers are overkill for your beard, especially since you're just wanting to round out the edges, usually. Pull out the straggly bits you see and trim them off with sharp scissors. Trim a bit around the edges if you want to control growth and split hairs. While you don't want to use clippers on your actual beard, you can use them to define the edges of your beard. Shave around your beard on your neck and cheeks using a small clipper with a T-shaped blade, called an “edger.” This tool will allow you to create clean edges and is better for detail work than regular clippers.

SUMMARY: Trim your beard once a week. Begin with a clean, dry beard. Trim your beard sparingly with scissors. Clean up around your beard with clippers.

This will vary from oven to oven. Some ovens can go as low as 150 °F (66 °C), while others can only go down to 200 or 250 °F (93 or 121 °C). This method may cause the flowers to lose their shape. While they may no longer work for dried flower arrangement, they'll be perfect for potpourri and soap making. Pick a sturdy flower, such as a daisy, rose, marigold, sunflower, or zinnia. Use garden clippers or scissors to cut the stems as close to the bottom of the bloom as possible. You can try this method on more delicate flowers as well, such as poppies or pansies, but you will have to watch them carefully to ensure that they do not burn. Set a metal cooling rack into a baking sheet so that it is easier to move around. Next, spread the flowers evenly across the rack. Leave about a finger-width of space between each flower. Also, make sure that the blooms are facing up. Use the same type of cooling rack you'd use for baking cookies and cakes. How long it takes for the flowers to dry will depend on what temperature you used, how many flowers you are drying, and what type of flowers you are using. The flowers are ready when they start to deepen in color and take on a papery, crinkled texture. Expect to wait 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Remove any flowers that finish drying early.  Do not get impatient and use a higher temperature. This will increase the chances of the flowers burning. It is important to check the flowers every 30 minutes, as some of them may finish drying before the others do. The flowers are delicate, so be careful when using them. Because of their bright colors, they are perfect for potpourri. You can also pull the petals off and use them in various craft projects, such as soap-making or candle-making. If you won't be using the flowers right away, store them in a box filled with crinkled paper. If the flowers came apart and turned to potpourri, store them in a box without paper.
