smoking time

bobd

I don't if I smoke slowly or not, but it seems like from what I read a lot of people finish ciagrs faster than I do.  How long do you take to finish the variuos sizes and when do you consider a cigar to be finsished, at the band, nub, etc....

The cigar is finished when it stops being enjoyable, whether that happens at the halfway point or when I'm burning my fingers, that's my golden rule. Smoking time depends on the blend, some cigars are made with slower burning tobaccos or are more densely packed than others, so there can be a lot of variance in burn times even when talking about the same size.

Exactly. It takes as long as you want it to take. Smoke at your pace not someone elses. Its done when you no longer enjoy it. Life is too short to smoke non-enjoyable cigars.

I totally agree with both of these responses. I used to think that when others mentioned stiks lasting an hour and a half and when I smoked the same stik it lasted maybe an hour...I wondered what I was doing wrong. My conclusion was that I may not be doing anyhting wrong it was just my smoking technique probably differs from others but that didn't mean I enjoyed my stiks any less. Now I let it take as long as it takes, if it is a really good stik I try to make it last as long as possible without having to re-light. and if the cigar is one that I am not enjoying, the experience could be over in as little as fifteen to twenty minutes. (that really sounds like other experiences also....wow)

Couldnt agree more with this.. for me, a cigar lasts as long as I'm still enjoying it, well said joe

I am a naturally slow smoker, which helps. One of my biggest cigar pet peeves is if I feel like I have to rush through a smoke.
