seen recent post on lighting cigars and read that if it goes out, blow threw it first to clear ash and stale smock. what if halfway threw a cigar, i am unable to finish and must extinguish. they ALWAYS taste nasty and usually get pitched. ive tried cutting of end,rather than letting burn out and that helps,but still not as good and is nasty for about 1/2 inch or so,i ussually cut off flame and 1/2 to 3/4 inch, seems like i waste a third of cigar and whats left isnt that good.
