a half of a cigar

[airmikey]

does smoking the other half of a cigar the next day not taste as good or is it just me ?

It tastes gnarly. Even relighting cigars produces an impetuous funk on the tongue, let alone letting one sit for a day.

No, its not just you. Even relighting after a few hours is pretty nasty to me. Its a bad idea in general

It allows for all the tar and what not to settle and what not making it taste like arse.

I clear (blow the smoke out of) my cigar when I set it down. That way if it goes out and I have to relight, it doesn't taste like a wet ashtray. Some cigars taste even better when they taste like wet ashtray, so it can also be a plus.

I generally just toss em if for some reason they go out and sit for a while.

When I first started smoking I would smoke half a cigar and then relight it and finish it the next day. I didn't notice any bad taste at the time, but now I really think a cigar is terible after it goes out and sits more than an hour or two.

I'll give it a try. If it passes I'll smoke it. If not I'll move on to another one.

If you cut them in half and smoke half one day and the other the next you can't tell...

There was something in CA about "purging" a cigar if you knew it was going to be out for a while. You would blow through it 2-3 times, and then let it go out. The person describing this suggested leaving it outside but covered (so it wouldn't get wet with dew, I assume). Supposed to be good as new . . . but I'm not sure I believe it.

I don't believe it. I have purged many times and while I can generally re light it, and be OK with it, I can definetly tell its not the same as it was before it went out. I don't put much stock in ANYTHING that CA says anymore.

No problem here, for instance I started a RP vintage 92 this morning on the way to work and finished it up about 9 hours later and other then being a little bit harder in touch it seemed find to me. Just another case of to each his own I guess. I work way to hard to pay for these things to be throwing them away all willy nilly because it went out or I didn't have time to finish it. Just my 2 cents

Question, did you cut the cigar before you lit it or did you put it out and relight the cigar the next day? (Never relight a cigar, bad news).
