I have smoked cigars where all thats left isnt even 1/8" left. Yes, its possible. I've started my beard on fire a few times relighting nubs. Countless burnt fingers and lips got hot a few times. So if you see me smoke a cigar and I dont take it to the nub..its just a crappy cigar. :laugh:
 
i am still pretty new to cigars but i found that the cigar will let you know when to quit... only smoked a few down to the nub.
 
I don't finish a plate of bad food and I don't finish a bad cigar.
 
Yeah... I let the cigar tell me when to stop as well. if the cigar takes a turn, at any stage, for the worse then I don't hesitate to toss it. Life's too short to smoke bad cigars. :)
 
I generally don't nub 'em, but I am happy when I do, because it is the true sign of a quality cigar...

There is always putting the nub in a pipe and smoking it that way. I know people (read OpusXKC) that have/will do that.

And just for the record, the only time I actually used a clip was with a Partagas 150 back on my 19th birthday
 
If the cigar is bad down it goes. I really let the expierence tell me what to do if it is good down to nub if not depends on when I lose interest. When I first started smoking I always nubbed thought that was what your suposed to do but then why torture myself for no reason. a average cigar will get smoked to within an inch or so a good one to the nub and a bad one may be put out with only a few puffs on it.
 
Where do you folks get the talking cigars from? :laugh:

Back in my smoke-anything-that-burns college days I only smoked half-way since Thompson Cigars said so and others confirmed it. Too bad, I had some nice ISOM's back then too (lived across the border from Windsor, Ontario).

When I got married, had kids, no money,etc... I nubbed everything. More bang for the buck!

Now (three decades later) I almost always go for at least the first two-thirds. If the flavor and buzz is nice...its nubbed. If it just gets tarry or soggy and becomes a struggle, I put what is left out in the garage overnight on my stogie-brick to freeze and finish after a day or two. That's only during winter. Summertime they get tossed. Of course, the really bad ones (usually gifted to me) rarely make it past half-way.

I guess that the "value" issue still drives some of my smoking. Lets see: if I smoke a $5 cigar for 4" ($1.25/inch)is that better or worse than a $3 cigar smoked for 3" ($1.00/inch), or not? The answer to that question is probably too mind-boggling for me. ;)

Usually down to about an inch or so, but that's subject to change depending on the temperature outside or traffic conditions on the ride home from work.
 
I let the gar do the talking.... if I am enjoying I will nubb it, if not I don't care how much the thing is worth I put it down.... I give them plenty of chance and usually give em three tries....
