How many puffs a minute?

[BefriendedbyBolivar]

How many puffs do you normally take per minute? I find my cigars always end up needing relighting. I tend to take a puff every 60 seconds, but my cigars still seem to go out on most occasions.

Cheers guys

Hmm never really timed it but Id suspect I puff more frequently than every 60 seconds..

Id guess every 30 seconds or so but now that you ask Ill pay attention tonight!

I'm a 20 to 30 second per puff, puffer (I double puff). If I find that my smoke is burning a little hot, then I slow down the puffs! Puff at your leisure, whatever works for YOU!

I will time my self tonight.I just hope it does not take away any enjoyment of the smoke or you owe me a cigar BefriendedbyBolivar!!!

[joncaputo]

One thing I know for sure is I do NOT like my cigar to go out..ever

For me it never tastes the same if I have to relight..so I probably over puff

I never kept time ether, but for me I give the cigar 2 quick puffs before the Long slow draw (felling a little homophobic typing this)

I think I'm with Taz on this. Although I've never timed how frequently I take a puff, I've always realized I double puff. I don't know when or why I started to double puff, just a habit I've had forever. I also noticed the 1st of the double puffs is quicker and more shallow than the second which is the real puff.

Damn now I won't able to smoke without wondering how long it was since the last puff...

I'm a triple puffer when I draw but do it about 3 to 4 times a minute. I too, hate for my cigars to go out.

Hmmmm....

About 6 or so, unless I am drinking!

Gave you a ring gauge. Don't think anyone has ever asked that question before....

[wrapper23]

Good question. I often wondered about this.

4-5 puffs a minute. If it's uneven, I torch the uneven part with my lighter. I hate when it goes out usually toward the end but I still relight it.

Maybe it's the humidity? I've been using these Humi-cards in plastic bags. Expecting a humi from cheaphumidors any day. It's just a 50-75 count but it must be better than nothing. But it's black with a black leather-covered top. So Borat says it's "NIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE."

I too am a triple puffer (2 short and 1 long). My times very within the cigar. sometimes 2 or 3 puffs a minute, sometimes once a minute and sometimes once every couple of minutes. Alot has to do with weather conditions (cold) and time requirements, as to the number of puffs I take.

But maybe your problem has to do with your RH factor. What RH do you keep your Gars at?

[Andy]

never really counted

[LibertyToad]

Typically one puff every 45-60 seconds. Although I'll double puff or purge if the cigar starts to go out.
