How many puffs a minute?

[havanitascigars-cl]

It depends on the cigar. Some I can go 60-90 seconds between puffs, other about every 25-30 seconds. Some cigars are just able to burn on their own longer.

Or sometimes it is just the mood I am in. Sometimes I have trouble relaxing enough to allow a cigar to burn slow.

I'm a double puffer. I'd say I take an average of 3 puffs per minute.

One

I'm puffing every 20 to 30 seconds.

1

I give one small puff and a long draw after it - the famed double puff

I use the double puff system atleast 2 to 3 times a minute. So far I have not had any sticks run hot on me so I will continue to puff like vaccum cleaner.....just can't get enough of that good smoke, great now I want to smoke!

A double puff about every 45 seconds.

Huh, I'm confused now. I'm around 45sec to a minute per puff. Anything less (like around 20-30 seconds) and it ends up smoking too hot and turns harsh around 1/3-1/2 way in. Is this something that varies on the ring gauge or am I drawing too long on each puff?

Also, I find I get a cooler smoke if I toast and light using a match or a flint lighter rather than a torch.

I am sure the speed a which you draw and the size of puff you take will contribute to the overall heat of your cigar.

Also there is the issue to as what is hot - I like my cigar smoke to be cool as such when I smoke and can feel the smoke rise in temp I back off cuz I think its to hot.

The moral of the story is do what you like try the way the other guy does it just to see and then go from there.

Me I a 1 double puff every minute. I have tried other ways I like this way. But I do take a big big slow slipping puff as my second puff.

Or as many as I can take, if it's a particularly delicious smoke...

I'm with you.
It depends on the cigar and how it is burning.
