I clear my cigar every time I sit it down thinking I might not get back to it. That means I just blow all the smoke out of it. I sit it down so the ash end is angled up and smoke won't regather in the cigar.
I don't put it out, I let it go out on it's own.
If I do that, I can pick up the cigar later, spark it up, and it's just as good as when I sat it down. No wet ashtray taste whatsoever. I've smoked cigars that sat a couple days, just to see if they were still good. Perfectly fine.
A cigarette smoker taught me that trick. I was truly amazed that it works with cigars as good as he guessed it would.
