    I'll smoke a cigar back and forth to work and relight it several times over a couple of days who cares? but maybe I'm just a classless rube

    i just leave it in the ashtray for the next day unwrapped. I've never had a day-old that's just been sitting out that wasn't smokable. I've even left them outdoors overnight and smoked the next morning. Don't overthink it.

    My fiance and I had a type a cigar few weeks ago and it was too big to smoke in one sitting so we decided to save it for the day.
    I put them in a ziplock and put them in one of my small humidors. That was a horrible mistake.
    Not only did I have to throw out the two Type A's, I had to clean and disinfect that humidor.
    Great video!

    I don't know anybody who throws away unfinished cigars. Even the rich guys will not throw away an good cigar, they will relight it. So, don't feel bad about doing it. Most people don't get to finish their cigars because there's ALWAYS something coming up. Just be generous with the cut. Cutting just the top won't do it for me. I'd rather finish only the GOOD part.

    • @CigarAdvisorMagazine
      @CigarAdvisorMagazine  9 років тому +2

      haetham Adam There is no way you can revive cigars that have been dried-out for several decades. That said, you can keep cigars supple for that long with the proper relative humidity (RH) and temperature; but even under ideal conditions, most cigars will lose their flavor profile after 10 years. Hope this helped.

      By emergency, it doesn't necessarily have to be life altering. Even something simple as finding out that you must prep/cook food for the family that day, after you sat down to enjoy cigar. Or your family member is stuck on the road, or your nephew is coming over and you have to entertain him because hes a kid that needs attention, or you have to go to the store, or...cmon, you get the jist.
      I have relit cigars many times, they never taste like ass. Probably because i leave them out to breathe..
      Im not cheap, but why throw away a perfectly good cigar when (for me) it doesnt taste bad at all?
