Relighting cigars

I know most people consider this a sin but with my job I do this often. I work 2 six hour shifts a day so I smoke half one watch and the other half the next. I've found that if I don't smoke the first half to far down and blow my smoke out of the stick after each puff, and blow out the carbon after toasting it on the relight before taking the first puff that the taste usually isn't affected to much.

It's kinda the same thing with laying down a stick early. Some folks get all weird about it, but if I'm not enjoying it, what the Hell's the point?
What I do is major surgery. I re- cut both the foot and cap - the cap at least 1/4 inch, and the foot at least 1/2 inch+ past the dead cherry - I lose about an inch of the stick, but it is at least somewhat smokeable.........I'd never do this with a decent stick though.

I have had to do this a couple of times actually. I have 2 year old twins that get into everything, so from time to time I've had to lay one down, and go back inside to attend to them. So if you have to do it, this is the way to go.
