Excellent point, Scott. I'm the same way. I've never deemed it wasteful to get my enjoyment from the experience, and pitch the cigar when I decide I'm done.

It's always tough for me to pick a "favorite" because I've always felt that each cigar represents a moment in time. What's happening in your life, who you're with, where you are, what you're drinking, what you had for dinner, etc. So, was the cigar amazing or was it the experience as whole that made it special? For me, each time I smoke a cigar, it's an entirely new experience, never again to be repeated or duplicated. Each is its own unique event. For me, that is what makes a cigar such an amazing and special experience.
