I'm half-way through the cigar and my wife says dinner is ready. It is NOT in my best interest to stay outside until I'm done smoking. It may stay sitting for up to 45 minutes. Again, what's my play?

That's one of the reasons I've come to love the smaller format vitolas. They're a quicker smoke and they're more affordable in most instances too, so I end up smoking better blends. But, to your question, I wouldn't worry too much about 45 minutes. Purge before you set it down, purge before you light it back up, it's all you can do.
