When do you tip the ash on your cigar?

Long as possible. Keeping the ash short makes the cigar burn too hot. Unfortunatly this leads to cigar ash on my cloths, in the chair, inside the keyboard...

For sure on this,,when it gets over an inch I keep my arm extended so I dont ash myself.

I give it a knock at around 3/4 and if it doesn't fall, I keep on going.

Not all ashes are the same. Some are flaky, some are powdery, some are solid as a rock and some just aren't worth a crap. (crap being the ones that fall off constantly)

I let it go as long as I can and when I start to see it bending or signs of cracks I knock er off

In fact, while reading this thread, I had an 1-1/2 worth fall on my sweatshirt and onto my keyboard... I just keep a can of spray air out here on the table so I can de-ash the keyboard....

Much better then my solution of returning the laptop to work for another when the keys start to stick. I imagine the next user would appreciate that also.
