ASH

I like to leave it on there as long as I possibly can. A few times I've succeeded in smoking half the cigar before the ash fell off into my lap.
 
i see, the longest ive got'n it was tonight, it held on about 2 in.
 
The only cigar I've had where the ash held all the way till I was done smoking, was the A Fuente Hemmingway Short Story. Yeah, it's a shorty, but the ash looked really cool all the way down to the last inch or so.
 
It looks really cool when your standing outside with a huge ash growing and it falls into your beer cup. Chicks dig that too. When will I learn?

:wink:
 
Could always ram a straightened out paperclip down the stick to make the ash stay on (didn't some famous guy do this? Winston Churchill maybe?).

Maybe it's just me, but I find that I get a more even burn if I leave the ash on. Once I ash once or twice, then one side starts burning slower than the other. Maybe the ash is regulating the heat exchange between the cherry and the air?

Nah, but some people think it looks cool as Hell.

:lol: I'm one of those people. The fellas at the local smoke shop tease me about it. It's like a little game I get to play everytime I smoke.

That was Clarence Darrow I think,or some other old time Lawyer, he did it when the prosicuter was delivering his closing arguement , this way the jury was watching him & not paying any attention to the DA. , BTW he won the case . ( back when you could smoke anyplace !! )
If you leave the ash on the cigar will burn a bit cooler , the ash keeps the cherry on the tip from getting to much air & cuts back on the combustion .

In the back of the Feb Cigar Aficionado is my buddy Big George and his big ash at my local Cigar Factory Outlet in South Norwalk, CT. He's got an impressive ash. Now I need my issue signed. :wink:
 
when my cigar starts to burn faster on one side than the other i will lick my finger and touch the side thats burning faster and it evens it out (to a certain extent)
 
I could have sworn it was Churchhill that did the paperclip trick.

Here's my CAO cameroon ann. from the box pass. Held on for awhile after the picture too. Happened to fall off into my lap and stayed intact. A bit of it did stay on my jeans but that's ok, they are my working in the shop jeans. 8)

Went about 60% of the cigar before it fell.

Didn't change the taste at all. Made me concentrate on trying to not make it fall off more though :p

Only thing is that you cannot move, or laugh, or breathe while you are doing that - what fun is that?????????

He might have done it also but I did read it some place maybe cigar aficanado that it was a famous lawyer who did it to distract the jury .
Enjoy, Vince

I know the picture you're talking about. I've gotta show that to the fellas at the smoke shop.

Smoke a Cuesta Rey or an Anejo. I've even tried lightly tapping the cigar and the ash would not budge. Just try not to sneeze :roll: :lol:
