Do all cigars taste like **** after relighting?

I purge and resmoke all the time. Don't waste that stogie! It might not be the same, but be a trooper.

I relight all the time. Sometimes they are purged before going out - sometimes not. In any case I knock off as much ash as possible - use a soft flame to heat and light with out drawing on it at first. After it's lit - I gently blow out a few times and then let it set for a minute. Then continue smoking as normal.

If the smoke is more than half way done, I normally toss them.

Been doing this out of habit now for over 30 years.

I keep a cigar outside in my work smoking area and smoke it and let it go out and repeat about 5 times throughout my day every day.

When I first started smoking cigars, I tried a few times to relight them the next day. Never could enjoy them after sitting that long. I can smoke a cigar that just went out and it tastes fine, but after sitting a while I just can't do it.
