Thanks guys. Dumb question. If say I busy doing something is it bad to let the cigar go out? By bad I mean does the flavor go bad or change anything if I have to relight it? Also do I need to re toast it when I relight it?

Are we talking a few minutes, a few hours or a few days?

minutes - nah.
hour or two - maybe but hard to detect
Days - ickypoo.

If you are setting the cigar down and you know it will be a bit before you can get back to it, gently blow out through the cigar before setting it down to expunge all the gasses and that will help lessen the impact on the flavor.

When you go to relight, knock all the ash off, blow out through the cigar again, then toast and relight as necessary.

"Days-ickypoo"......cracks me up. What's wrong with a cigar with a little age on it. Now cigar savoring and good smoking has it's place but also I'm an old buzzard who will fire back up just about anything that has been sitting in the shop ashtray. Their is smoking a good cigar and then again just smoking.

Anyone else care to fess up.
