is 45 minutes not that long for a cigar?

Cigars often burn for 1.5-2 hours....45 minutes is on the lesser end for sure. Depends how much you smoke though, people here will nub the heck out of a cigar down to the last quarter-half inch.

EDIT I personally leave about an inch left, unless I REALLY love the cigar.

Welcome to the madness my friend....
All i can think of is the 70's disco song....

Another one bites the dust!

Good choice on your 1st cigar! That was the one that sent me down the slope.

That puts you on the "you smoke fast" side of things.

I can baby a cigar for hours if I get lazy enough.
I am on the slow side for sure.

Welcome to CS and to the world of cigars.

A little Freudian slip there my friend................

Bacarat Corona, great first cigar choice. Made by the camacho factory in honduras, with the sweetened end cap, a mild smoke with a little pepper. I would say that 45 minutes on a Corona is just about right, if you were spending 45 minutes on a toro, or torpedo, or churchill, then you might consider slowing down, but for this stick i think 45 min is just right.

Thanks.
It is constantly being affirmed for me.

Welcome to the habit! It can get expensive, but its really rewarding when you can look at your collection sitting in that humidor, when you get that far xD I'm still at the buy as you smoke stage

LOL! That pretty much describes me... I wondered how I filled my 300ct desktop so quickly, now I know. So much for buying a humidor 3x the size I thought I would need lol.

I have one sitting in my Humi as we speak... I'll have to try it and see what it's like, forgot all about it til this thread! Thanks and welcome!!

My first was a Baccrat Rothschild (a.k.a. Robusto) as well. Nice mild smoke. I can advise you on many more milds if you want to keep going. I'm 6 months down the slope and still love the milds. Probably always will have a few in the humi. Good choice.

I also started with a Fuente 8-5-8, but about 20 years ago. I haven't hit bottom yet.
