Спасибо огромезное!
И сорри за ошибку в написании слова в запросе: как было в оригинале текста, так и искала. Гибкость мышления и несложное умозаключение о том, что вполне возможна опечатка в оригинале, в час ночи как-то не сработали :)

When your waiter says, a la Maxim's, ''Let me get the responsable,'' you know you are on the right track. Cigars must be cared for like fine old wines. Storage should be in a slightly humid, cool place - voila the humidor, or that lacquered box mentioned earlier. When the cigar waiter arrives, he should open the box, tilt it slightly toward you and recite the available selection. In most restaurants, the choices will be Montecristo or Davidoff, a Swiss concern with many cigars made of Cuban tobacco. Some restaurants stock lesser Cuban brands, Romeo y Julieta and Partagas, which are still good cigars. Occasionally, there are lighter Dominican cigars, too. The smaller the number on the cigar, the bigger, thicker and longer it is.

The only way to tell if a good cigar is in good condition is to pick it up. Don't squeeze it too tightly; lift it delicately with your first two fingers and thumb and roll it gently near the middle. Listen for a crackling sound like crisp autumn leaves underfoot; it's a sign of dryness. Similarly, avoid a cigar if the outer wrapper is flaking. A cigar should resist the squeeze, maybe even be a little springy. But it should not feel soggy - a sign of too much humidity. Finally, take a whiff. A cigar should smell of tobacco and not be musty. One key point: the entire squeezing and sniffing process should take place after you've selected the size cigar you want. Squeezing every cigar in the box isn't very considerate.

The waiter should take the cigar from you to clip the end with a special cutter. He may ask for your preference in cut: the entire end snipped off or a quarter-inch, V-shaped slit across the wrapped end. Either procedure eliminates biting off the end, which is an effective but a rather crude public display. A subtler point: Have the waiter remove the trademark band. Leaving the band on is just not done - except by the type of person who wants somebody else's initials on everything he owns.
