How long can a half smoked cigar sit before you have to throw it away, rather than finish it?

If you do this, be sure to purge it well just prior to setting it down. This should help the flavor when you relight it.

Cigars? Not very long, as they usually get very acrid tasting very quickly - especially if allowed to cool. ![]() With a pipe, this is much different. In fact, with many Virginia and Virginia?Perique blends, sometimes finishing a pipe a couple days later can find the tobaccos tasting even better. Why is this? Good question!

![]() It all depends on how much bitterness you can stand. Be sure to purge the cigar when you sit it down to at least get most of the stale smoke out.

My first opusx(like my 3rd cigar ever), I smoked halfway then left it in a zip lock baggie for like a week. One or two days I even forgot that I left it open. When I smoked it later on, it was even better than before. I never purged it either. That was before I knew anything about smoking cigars.

Thanks for the feed back guys. Looks like results can vary. May require some experimentation....

hello
I have never tried smoking before but i really want to try a cigar, i have some questions: Does cigar smoke smell and taste better than cigarette smoke? (i can't stand the smell of cigarettes and have no idea of what cigars smell like) Is there a chance that i would like it even though i can't stand cigarettes or is it all pretty much the same? I have also heard that some people get sick and throw up after their first smoke, any tips on how I can prevent this from happening? thanks in advance |

1. In my opinion, cigarettes and cigars are completely different, and don't taste anything alike. 2. In my experience, the more I smoked cigars the more I liked them. (still an ongoing process, but I do love them!) 3. How to not throw up: Smoke slow, very slow, around 1 puff per minute or less. Also a Mild cigar would be better for your first. Something that helped me starting out, drink (or sip) water while you are smoking. Hope that helps some! |

I used to smoke ciggerette way back, and will say that it's two different things!!
I would agree with all that's been said so far. As far as the smell of the smoke, I know people that can't stand when I smoke cigars, but then other's think that it smells great (luckily my fiance is one of these people!!). On a funnier side, I've found that cigar smoke is a much better misquito repelant than cigerette smoke!!! The taste is going to the tough one I would think. I have had some nasty cigars and some heavenly ones!! So hopefully you get one you like the first time around. The bad ones are far and few between in my eyes though. Good luck in the new journey!!!

I was thinking if you got a bad one for your first stick, then there would be one less person to fight over the good ones on.........something is telling me not to be that way, there is plenty to go around. Pick up your cigar from a B&M (cigar store) and not the corner market.

Say im taking a cigar to work with me for the ride home. I have a leather holder, and if I put a cigar in that leather holder would it be alright? Or would it dry out too much? I would leave the cello on it. Or should I use a ziplock baggie and then put the cigar inside the leather holder?
Are there any airtight cigar holders? |

The leather holder for the day will work ok. I wouldn't leave anything in there longer than a 12 hour period unless it has a good seal. The cigarcaddy/otterbox can be used for everyday use. I have a 5 count box that I take with me to local B&M's. It isn't the most asthetically pleasing box but the seal is great and it keeps your cigars humidified.
In any case you just want to make sure you don't subject the cigars to extreme heat or cold..
