I've read in several places that a cigar should be extinguished once it's half smoked. HAH! I say to that. In my experience it seems that most cigars have a "sweet spot" in the middle that provides the most smoking pleasure. For me it seems to be the middle 1/3 of the cigar. This gives it time to cool off from the light and settle in to what it was meant to me. Beyond this it starts getting a bit of a warm draw and maybe a slight bite from the buildup of tars and some nicotine. Has anybody else experienced this? And also, does anybody here actually pitch their cigar after it's only half smoked? It seems to me if I did this, I'd be missing out on half of the best part of the cigar.
Just tossing this out for discussion on a quiet wednesday evening. What are your guys (and gals) thoughts on this?
EDIT: Not to mention that with the prices of some cigars, I really want to get what I'm paying for. Throwing a few bucks away with each cigar just doesn't make good economical sense to me. But then again, I can be a cheap bastard!
