Anyone smoke half a cigar and finish the rest the next day?

Something tells me that is a no no for your tastebuds.

I do, always purge them before putting the aside.

Then again, I am not known as a super-taster.

Very occasionally, but it has to be a stand-out cigar for me to bother. Like Edward, I'll purge the cigar but I'll take it a step further and cut the cherry off the foot of the cigar before the ash after purging to keep it from stinking up the cigar any further.

Allatime. Sometimes with greater enjoyment than others.

I have forgotten one while I was smoking it.
I sat it down to do something, real quick and completely forgot about it.
Next day, there it was in the ashtray. Re-lit and smoked just fine.

What is the purging process you do?

I did this when I was staring out ... brought in the cigar to my home and humidor..it made everything smell like an ashtray... like disproportionately stinky... leaving it outside is impossible where I live. The humidity is so high, a cigar overnight would turn into wet mush. If you try it, I would avoid storing it indoors.

Blow out while lighting it to remove any carbon and impurities. Then once this is done continue to relight the cigar normally.

silvermouse

If you blow through a cigar before putting it down you purge the smoke and it doesn't just condense and get absorbed into the tobacco creating a stale taste.

With a very special/good cigar, I will purge then cut the end off like @silvermouse and @Yakster do.
I then put it in a zippy bag and bring it in the house as humidity and heat here would ruin it. I have only done that a few times with a cigar that I hated to leave and had no more of.

I do it with Backwoods all the time.

I have good results putting the cigar in a ziploc for indoor overnight storage

If it's got "long pants" then most certainly.

Blow out the smoke before setting in the ashtray and allow it to go out on it's own.

Never. That's just nasty. The closest I've come is to relight a cigar that I've neglected and it went out but thats usually only a few min, not overnight. I keep various cigar sizes for times when I want a shorter smoke. I've also stopped buying a lot of the larger cigars like I used to, to get "maximum value". Prefer robusto and under these days but will grab a bit larger cigar if the price is right and it's the only vitola offered. Robusto cigars tend to burn and draw better and also less tar build up but I digress.

When I was 20 I had a cigar that went out so I saved the butt, shredded it, and put it into a can-pipe. I learned a lot of lessons that day.

Bob_Luken

I can't remember doing this. I was taught by this forum NOT to do this. I was told why,.... bad flavors to begin with, and I was told of undesirable consequences if I stored a half smoked cigar in the wrong place. I knew day old burnt nubs smelled bad. I knew I didn't want to smoke one and I assumed my lesson learned was a good one without having to prove it to myself. Yes, I'll re-light a cigar ten times if I let it go out ten times, but I'll pass on a leftover cigar. Sure, you can purge and clip off the cherry, but to me, that seems like you're just making the best of a bad situation.

Totally agree. Not enough time..... Robusto or Corona. If something comes up and I can’t smoke it till the next day.... mulch. If it’s that important that I have to leave a cigar it’s more important than any cigar I own.

I stopped short during an intimate encounter one night and woke up the next morning to resume where I had left off with the lady fortunate enough to grace my presence. Unfortunately, a cigar isn't quite as receptive to being warmed back up from a cold state, nor does it lick your bawlz as a reward. Therefore, no, I have not considered relighting a cigar left to go out after sitting longer than 10 or 15 minutes.

Like the Professor says, "It's only tobacco." Toss it. Start fresh every time.

Unless you want to relight. Then you should relight.

But if you don't want to relight, then you shouldn't relight.
