How far down do you gentleman smoke?

IMO you're spot on. Just smoke until you're done smoking. It's your cigar.

I usually get past the band, but I don't have a hard and fast rule. I smoke slow so it generally doesn't get to hot and harsh 'til I am way down. Do what you like, it's your stick.

Sounds like you've got it right. I stop smoking when it starts to get too hot or harsh.

I try and nub every cigar but that is also because I smoke slow and steady. But if I am not a fan of the cigar I make it to the band and let it go out.

As long as I am enjoying the cigar, I will continue. I rarely toss one before the band though. I give the cigar plenty of chances to deliver.

It depends on how much I'm enjoying the cigar, some I burn my fingers on and some I give up on at around the band level.

It depends on the cigar and how i smoked it till the end,sometimes its like a love affair and dont want put it down till my hands start to burn,but sometimes i put it down as soon the flavour start changing for the worse!

I tend to pride myself on my nubs (LOL), but I've tossed many a cigar with inches to go. As Kuzi so simply put it, I smoke till I'm done.

Kuzi said it, till I'm done.

Until my fingers burn!

It depends on the cigar, I wil smoke it down to the nub if it tastes good, but no matter where it's at if it starts to taste bad, then I'm done...there are too many cigars to waste time smoking something that tastes like crap.

yes i find myself doing mostly what kuzi says. Sometimes, like recently with the Rocky Patel Vintage '99, I will be smoking with a buddy and loving the stogie so damn much and having such a great time i'm damn near burning myself with it. Generally, when I'm by myself, I tend to smoke my cheaper stock and those sticks can get real nasty towards the end. Thats not to say I dont enjoy cheap cigars. I really do, it's just that I tend to want to smoke those for awhile and then I get a bit past the halfway point and start to enjoy it less and less with every puff. that's when the stick's gotta go.

Usually until the cigar gets hot and harsh. As everyone else has stated, it's up to you, it's your cigar. IMO when you stop enjoying it, it's time to let it go out.

I'm with Kuzi and everyone else who's with Kuzi I guess. I've smoked less than half of one and I've smoked several down to less than an inch. All depends on how much I enjoy it, how the burn is, and how much time I have. I don't let time keep me from smoking, so there have been occasions where I've lit up a robusto knowing I only had 30 minutes and had to put it down halfway through (note I don't fire up super premiums on these occasions though. lol)

Some have been so good I wanted to eat the nub, others so crappy (talking to you, SC artisan) I wanted to lick my dogs ass to get the taste out. It all depends on the cigar, the circumstances, mood, health (with a bad cold no cigar is worth smoking), weather, etc.

I am currently stuck in Cleveland, Ohio which is way outside my comfort zone but when I get back I have a couple of pics to illustrate the gypsy method
