Ever left a "floater"?

Indeed I have sir. But that was long ago, since then I've become anal retentive about touching up my burn.

But maybe not So anal. Just much more aware and attentive.

What's this thread all about all I could retain was floater and anal????

I've had that happen in the past. I too will sometimes let a burn go a little bit just to see if it will correct itself. More often than not it does but I am pretty anal myself to the point where I will usually have two lighters by my side. A triple flame for the initial light and a sharp single flame for touch-ups.

Contrary to the burn correctors...I will more often than not let the burn correct itself if it's not affecting the taste. Usually the cigar will straighten itself out. For me it makes the whole experience more relaxing...I don't know why, it just does!

Besides, I enjoy watching the "floaters" float away in the wind once the ash surrounds it. (if the wind isn't blowing in my face

)

Somebody posted a thread about letting the cigar correct itself a long while ago, either here or at CS (bobarian?) and ever since I prefer it.

Edit: Of course, at some point the cigar needs correcting. If it's by taste or by noticing part of the filler not burning. For me, it's feel.
