Depends if you're tapping the ash itself or the body of the cigar. I've seen people destroy the wrappers on cigars by repeatedly forcefully tapping the body of them on the side/lip of the ashtray like one would do if they were ashing a cigarette. Not exactly "wrong" but not exactly good for the capa on the cigar either.

Past that, it's personal preference and how the cigar is rolled. Sometimes the ash breaks off clean with a tap, other times there's a cone of burning tobacco and rolling it off is more effective. Neither is wrong.
