Excellent point! Now that you mention it, I have seen this as well. I don't really know when it started. When aftertaste during the smoke equated to finish. It could be that people are describing the "finish of the puff" much like people describe the "finish of a taste of whisk(e)y". I have no issue with the use of the term that way, but admit that it does seem a bit odd to me to describe finish of a puff.

Something for me to ponder. You've expanded my horizons a bit and I am grateful for that.
