How Far Down Do You Smoke

[blessednxs65]

How far down do you smoke your cigar?

As for me, I do my best to nub unless the flavor deteriorates to the point of yuck.

I wasn't sure how to vote - I smoke until I loose interest in the cigar, which is usually : Until I singe my nose hairs :)

If its a great cigar, nub it.. If it sucks, toss it and get a new one!!!

[MichiganM]

I voted "just to the band", however I usually don't even smoke quite that far. I find that even with good purging that a cigar usually gets bitter, hot, and also forms quite a bit of buildup by the time I hit the 2/3 mark or so. I will nub if these qualities don't present themselves...otherwise it's usually 2/3. I'm particularly sensitive to bitter and tannic flavors.

I didn't vore cuz it depends on the cigar of course. But after that San Cristobal tonight I am looking for a doctor that does fingerprint reconstruction

Hard question to reply to as each cigar is a different smoking experience.

[mnelson]

i usually smoke to the band, maybe a little into the coverage of the band (i remove the band of course)

If it is one of those super special smokes or there is some really good conversation around i will smoke farther

[WhiteLightning]

As far as I can go. Almost always past the band.

There it is right there.

I use to try and nub everthing, but I've realized I don't have to toture myself.

If it is a good cigar less than 1/2 inch and if it sucks I leave a lot more than that.

Same here, the cigar gets too hot and bitter when you smoke it that far down. I quit around 2" to 1".

I smoke'um till the nub...Sometimes I dont remove the band...Thats when you get the good flavors! The Gurkha bands are the best

[BradMc]

depending on the time I have, mostly to 1/4 or less, if it is cold or a fast smoke, 1/2 or to the band.......

[surfish1961]

As much money as I pay for some of my cigars, if they're really good, I get every bit I can out of 'em.

[CWS]

Not really enough choices. Usually an inch but it depends on the cigar. I have put cigar butts in my pipe to finish them they were so good.

[Jwrussell]

I voted 1/2 inch, but it's probably more like just under an inch. When I have trouble holding onto it and I can't get more than one puff before it gets way too hot, I get rid of it. That probably covers 90% of my smokes.

[RigilKent]

like most i smoke it till i dont like it anymore if its to the nub then its to the nub

[bballbaby]

I went 1/2 inch. Almost always go well inside the band, but usually stop it at about 1 inch.

[Headbanger]

Can not answer with those answers. I smoke the stick till it turns south or I grow tired of smoking it. Could be to the nub or half way through.

If it is a really good stick, I'll smoke it until I can't possibly hold it anymore.

[Pendaboot]

I smoke it until it is finished. No rules apply, even within a single box. Many variables, each cigar is different.

Same here. Unless I just get tired of the cigar.
