So a follow up question to the relighting one is how do you purge a cigar.

Instead of drawing air in through the cigar you gently blow out through the cigar.

I've actually gone back to a cigar the next day. As previously stated, doesn't taste quite as good. What I've done is purge it before I leave it and then cut the end of the cigar so that there is no burnt part of it showing.
Now saying this, I haven't done this in a long time, now that I actually am smoking better cigars and am starting to enjoy the entire flavor of the cigar and not just the smoke.

When I go to the lounge I see people leave the ring on when they have a smoke. I always take it off. Is there a reason to leave it on or is it personal preference?

Personal preference. I smoke down to the band and then take it off.

I second this. Some just tend to be tough to get off at first, so I leave them on till the end, than I save them. Planning on making something out of all of them when I have the time.

It honestly doesn't matter. Etiquette used to be that you didn't leave the band on else you were "gloating" or showing off about what cigar you were smoking. Now it doesn't matter so much. I take the band off when the cigar burns down close to it. Some bands if you take them off too early (before the glue gets heated up) they will tear the wrapper. Then if you took it off at the beginning, you ruined the whole cigar. At the very least if you take it off later and it still tears, you've smoked most of the cigar

It's all personal preference, like stated above. Do whatever makes you happy Brother, makes no difference either way.

I Usually Take All My Bands Off As Long As I'm Careful To Not Tear The Wrapper Because I Always "Plan" To Smoke Each Stick Down To The Nub!

CFRH-Colorado Front Range Herfers
Stumptown Herfers-Washington State
MoB-Chicago/Milwaukee guys
Palmetto-NC
Massholes-Who cares they're all dicks!
VCM-Virginia
Patio Posse-SoCal
Deck Boys-Elitist SoCal crew

I know there are many others but those come to mind right now.
