Re: sticks you do not like
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.

Re: sticks you do not like
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. |

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

Re: sticks you do not like
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? |

Re: sticks you do not like
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!!!!!!!!

Re: sticks you do not like
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..

Re: sticks you do not like
I don't smoke cicgars that I don't enjoy. I typically wait less than an hour. There is just no point in it.
|
Re: sticks you do not like
I will toss it, even if it's a $12 cigar. I will just be a little more irritated.
|
Re: sticks you do not like
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.

Re: sticks you do not like
if I am reviewing a cigar I will smoke it till the end, if not, I will toss it.

Re: sticks you do not like
Like has been said before, life is too short. If I am not enjoying it, no matter the cost, I have no issues putting it out.

Re: sticks you do not like
I usually only have time for one cigar when I'm smoking one, so if it's offensive to me, I'll pitch it for a better one and try another one when I have more time.
