I am a slow smoker by most standards, an AF or Punch Rothschild is an hour smoke for me.

I also could care less if I have a blue flame coming off the end of my cigar.

Having said that, I have had cigars with a good inch to 2 inches left which had gotten bitter and I was contemplating pitching them. A quick purge, and they were back in the zone - sometimes even their best flavor of the whole smoke.

Of course, I have also purged a cigar, taken a couple more puffs, then pitched it. Sometimes, there are just some bad smokes.
