I thought English was horrible to learn, until I tried Russian.
Actually, my question isn't what you do with your nubs and ash, but how you keep the ash out of your lap?
I like to build ash, but can never predict when it will fall so awkwardly hold my cigar over an ashtray once it reaches an inch.
It seems 1 in 3 cigars will drop ash in my lap. Drives me mad.
Also, Frank Zappa is one wacky band. Don't hear of too many fans so I'm excited to see that name here.
I seem to have the same problem with my ash at times. No matter how diligent I am at trying to catch it I get ashed often.
