if i don't like it or get bored with it i pull out the straight razor and dissect it while smoking a guaranteed goody

Unless its a review or a gift, it goes out in under an inch. Even if the flavors are good but the draw is tough it goes out. Ask BengalMan, many a good stick have been extinguished before they even get off the ground. Life is too short to struggle through bad sticks.

Usually the first time I try something, I'll smoke the whole damn thing, even if I have to chase it with something to wipe out the taste...

Even my first and only Ghurka...

It's got to go.

Nope.

Just a thought, with most everyone saying they would chuck it after the first 3rd, it brings to my mind an older discussion about Cigar Aficionado's reviewers and how they review cigars.

It was shown that the CA reviewers don't go past the first 1/3. So maybe there is a lot more to that idea than first discussed.

A lot.

But the reviews at CA rarely rate a cigar below an 88.

Does that include all the cigars they have smoked for review?

Here's another thought, what if the cigar tastes really great the first 3rd, then becomes sour/nasty, do you still pitch it?

The second I stop enjoying it I put it down. Life's too short.

So far I only had one smoke that got chucked after three draws. others that weren't that great got about two thirds smoked. From now on I will recognize a certain taste I don't like and toss it quickly as the taste lingers. Oh, I tossed a cherry Swisher into a campfire right after lighting it up.
Couldn't even give it a try.

10-06-2009, 04:05 PM

I ran into this same issue the other night...

I have enjoyed every Anejo I have had up until the other night. I lit up an Anejo Shark and it tasted like ****... I didn't want to throw it away hoping that it would become as good as the others. I ended up smoking almost the whole thing before tossing it. I was thoroughly disappointed.

So what if it's a stick that you have smoked and loved before?

I just trashed a LGC Serie R the other day for being damn near unsmokable. Others I've had were great. That one example won't turn me away from them in the future. Even though I have liked every other one I've lit up I wouldn't finish the nasty one.

I toss it. There's plenty of other sticks in the cabinet that I have for a reason.....and it's not to stare at!!!!!!!!

GreekGodX · 10-07-2009, 02:38 AM

Unless I paid some ridiculous amount of money ($20+) then I toss it. $20+ smoke earns itself a little more time but I've tossed those sticks halfway through before..

10-07-2009, 05:42 AM

I don't smoke cicgars that I don't enjoy. I typically wait less than an hour. There is just no point in it.

htown · 10-07-2009, 06:25 AM

I will toss it, even if it's a $12 cigar. I will just be a little more irritated.

with all the taxes we have here, there isnt that many sticks that will cost me under that

RevSmoke · 10-07-2009, 06:26 AM

I have tossed a couple because of draw issues. There are others I have taken to the 1/2 way mark, just to see if they'll improve. I had one which had the taste of tin in my mouth, even made fillings tingle like they do when something metal touches them - that lasted about 10 puffs - just cause I was trying to figure out what was going on.
