Tossed THREE premium smokes in less than a week

Just think about all those poor kids in Ethiopia, starving for cigars! Hehe.

Well, that's one way to do it. Just curious as to what the handful you like are? I am on the other side of the spectrum as I see to like most of the cigars I smoke.

Well, the last one I tried I liked quite a bit.. Illusione Rothschild.

Otherwise it's all over the place, no way to predict. For example, I love Diesel Coronas but hate all other Diesel vitolas and the other Diesel lines.

that's like speed dating with cigars. Shame they can't roll a sample sized cigar.
I always make it at least half way before tossing one. I can't say I have ever had one redeem itself, but I have had some turn bitter for a few puffs near the end, just to smooth back out through the nub.

As far as relighting I used to do it when I was in the sandbox but I always cut an inch, purged and stored in an aluminum tube.
Sure they didn't taste great, but I don't remember them tasting that bad either. I haven't done it since, I just smoke an appropriate vitola and if surprise plans interrupt toss it, and start a new one later if I can.

What You Say I leave them on the porch ashtray for 2wks and then try them again if that dont work I put them in with my rollin tobacco..any way you cut it Im smokin it.

i have to agree with shemp on this on. relights are just not worth it at all. why risk the flavor after it out. relights are more for someone who smokes cigars instead of cigarettes. i work with a guy that smokes the same backwoods on smoke breaks instead of cigarettes
