Re: How to ash?
I don't think it matters much, so I don't worry about it.

Re: How to ash?
As has been stated, the ash acts insulation preventing the cherry from getting very hot and the smoke turning bitter. It is wise to leave the ash on for a while. I used to let it stay on until it fell off naturally, but after too much ash on my shirt and in my lap/drink/etc I have found that I ash just before it will fall on its own. This is at a different point from cigar to cigar, so no general rule like 1" ash works. Sometimes it is 1", others at a half inch, others at 2". Construction of the smoke and smoking conditions like wind all play a factor in determining when is the right time to ash. As with everything - experiment and see what you like best

I smoke in my house so I ash quite often so I dont drop on the floor or in my lap. Sometimes when herfing I'll let it go for a couple of inches, but I have never noticed a difference in taste either way.
