Re: A trader's cigar (Financial markets)
"generally speaking, cigars won't be as good if you let them go out and sit around for 30 minutes."
I actually like the way a short cool-down period affects the flavour of some of the more mild blends. With Rocky Connecticut's for example I find a nice charcoal/burnt meat flavour sneaks in every now and then after the re-light. But the burnt end seems to draw moisture like a magnet. Must be the ash and charred tobacco is hygroscopic and draws extra moisture from the atmosphere. Our house is pretty humid, and if I leave anything that's went out for too long, the burnt foot becomes positively soggy, utterly ruining the rest of the smoke.
I picked up a few Oliva V's that I'm going to try out this week and will probably pick up some Padron 2000 as well.
