I love it when you talk dirty!

Coffee....out....nose...

I believe only twice in my life have I chucked one in the first half for taste.

Remember folks, this is from the man who inflicted upon himself the 'Po Boy Masochist Extravaganza', which involved smoking (among others) a Duque and a Ron Mexico down to the nub. I certainly wouldn't expect him to discard a cigar because of the taste!

For me it was a Rodrigo Corona Project. Loved the flavor but just couldn't keep the damn thing lit. Only stick I've tossed so far this year.

Don't think I have ever given up on a smoke in the first half for flavor issues. OP, are you saying that you save cigars to smoke later after putting them out? I tried that once and it was a horrible experience.

I have tossed several sticks within an inch. I have tossed a couple sticks after 1/2 inch in even. Not worth my time to give them a chance. Mostly they are cheaper sticks. If it is a known descent or good stick I will give them an honest chance. But I have not bought a cheap stick since early on in the hobby. I have tossed a Curley head, Quorum(first week of the hobby and recommended by tobacco shop, yeah I don't go there anymore as it is pretty much a cigarette shop.) I have tossed Macanudo's, Gurkhas, and a few others. Yes I know most of these are not expected to blow your mind. These were all before I was on a cigar forum for guidance. Now I read reviews before I venture out to buy cigars. Rookie mistakes

I was smoking an un-banded Nicaraguan the other day that had an amazing flavor profile but the draw was so tight that I gave up on it after about 15 minutes. It was like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

I've given up due to this a few times, but never before about half way. For flavor, The last I tossed was an Alec Bradley...think it was Family Reserve. It tasted like a cigarette...yuck.

yeah i always thought putting a cigar out and relighting it was nasty. i acutally know a guy that stores half smoked cigars in his humidor with his cigars

ugh..

[Indyhp]

I've tossed a couple of cheap sticks early that were just nasty from the get-go, but rarely do I give up before halfway.

One of my favorite regular smokes doesn't come alive until the end of the first third.

Our marketing manager did that when he first started working here. He had no cigar experience and thought that was what you were supposed to do. Needless to say the humidor was ruined.
