What do you think of re-lighting and smoking cigars later on purpose? I would never do this with a rare or expensive cigar but I've been waking up at 5 in the morning to enjoy the sunrise with a few puffs of a cheapish connie and then enjoying the rest during my drive to work.
Do you re-light?

I'll relight on occasion. I don't intentionally save it for later, but stuff happens. I smoke out in the shed, and if I get interrupted I'll coming back and relight. Usually it is no more than 20 minutes.
I've learned that a relight and touch ups don't have the murderous effect on a cigar that people expect.

The taste after re-light doesn't really bother, even after an hour or so and without a purge. Maybe I just have a very unrefined palate.
I used to buy PCs a lot but nowadays I kind of base my purchases on stuff I like or want to try on Cbid that I can win for significantly less than MSRP and the vitolas offered are usually limited.

I agree w/ this. I do always purge before I set it down, normally it tends to be less than a day.I will relight a stick after a couple of days.
I let them sit out in the man-shed half finished until I get around to them.
seldom any problems, I challenge each of you to try it.
I don’t remember who said it (cigar industry worker/lounge rando) but I once critiqued someone that relit a cigar that had been out from the night before and was given a stern talking too Apparently there’s a word in Spanish/ Cuban culture that is directly tied to the relighting of a cigar that has gone out (put down for lunch, the evening, to attend other business) and it has no negativity associated. I was told it’s very common practice because they smoke cigars throughout the day and no one has huge swaths of time to smoke cigars fully every time.
I’ll relight a cigar I leave in the car when I enter a lounge to purchase something (10-20 minute) but otherwise I shoot to finish my sticks.

I remember 25 + years ago when I was just starting to smoke cigars. I put a cigar in a saver tube and tried to smoke it the next day strong as hell and bitter bitter bitter. That only happened once But when I went to Paris on vacation I would tube my cigar every time I would get on the metro and make the wife stop and wait till I relit it before walking on That is why they make some many different sizes, I choose the size for the time I have. If I only have a 30 min window I will smoke a TPC like a Monte 5, RASCC, Party Short. If I have 1 hr I will smoke a Robusto Extra, Churchill, 45 min a Robustos.

I have done it a few times and it seems to work out ok. I use my cutter and cut it off getting rid of ALL ash signs of burn (about an extra 1/4”) and then purge any old smoke from what remains.
